Backgrounds that matter

Future plans

This is just the start, we have much more content already in development and plans to touch nearly every aspect of the game.
In development:

• New enemies
• Horses
• Runic weapons
• More starts, skills and events
• Improved terrain generation algorithms

On roadmap:

• More tactical maps
• More enemies
• More crises
• City management
• Faction management

Tips

• You don't always have to hire people straight away, early game missions can be solod by some commanders.
• You don't have much stash space, every merc you hire gives you more space, and some backgrounds give much more.
• The same with tools, meds, food and ammunition, there are backgrounds which help with each.
• With your men always on the field, your injuries will be pressing. Try hiring Monks to increase your heal rate.
• Be careful hiring too many mercs too fast, as much tougher opponents will spawn.
• Noble houses start at war and can now be completely wiped out, consider your allies well.
• Try saving formations to protect your wounded soldiers
