Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2722628" data-attributes="member: 29014">[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Alright, then let me set them up for you here in the back rows...like so...there we go.  And I'll just take the basic Praetorian squad.  Then we're all set!  Let me explain the basics--the goal of the game is to defeat the opponents leader and second-in-command, the commanders.  If you do that, you win.  Also, there's a few other ways to win, like if you destroy all the opponent's army except one commander while retaining both of your own, which is useful against some of the tougher commanders, like Camilla.  If both players are down to only their commanders in equal numbers, it is a draw.  The basic game involves alternating between players who each move a piece across the board based on its movement pattern and optionally attack another piece.  Most pieces can only attack by moving into the defender's space, but some can attack from afar, depending on weapons.  Each piece has attack and defense scores--Attack scores sometimes vary based on positioning, and defense scores are different for ranged attacks and are always lower for being attacked from the side or behind.  If the attacker's attack score is higher than the defender's defense, the defender is destroyed, and the attacker can move into the spot unless she was attacking from range.  Some pieces have a counterattack that might destroy them both by letting the defender also attack the attacker, though this can be negated by another ability that lets a piece strike first--for instance, Camilla is particularly deadly because she has both a counterattack and a quick strike, so if you want to attack her, you need to not only have a better attack score than her defense but also a better defense than her attack or she will kill you first--unless you attack her from range, of course."[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
