By examining each feature, you can make informed choices about movement, alignment, army building, death mechanics, and accessibility.
01 / THE GUIDE
Movement Experimentation
Set up a mock battle with units of varying sizes. Observe how each navigates obstacles and note any pathways that differ from traditional hex‑based expectations.
- Test both large and small units against the same obstacle to see how size changes pathing.
- Use terrain to funnel larger foes while keeping nimble units free to maneuver.

Alignment Management
Create two small squads with opposing alignments. Track any desertion events during a short skirmish and test charisma‑type actions to see if they reduce the rate.
- Balance your forces to reduce friction between opposing alignments.
- Consider using any charisma‑type actions to lower the chance of desertion.

Racial Synergy Review
Select a mix of units with known racial animosities. Conduct a trial run, record conflict frequency, then adjust the lineup to improve cohesion.
- Review unit skill lists before finalizing your roster.
- Watch for racial animosities that could undermine cooperation.

Necromancy Utilization
Deliberately sacrifice a low‑value unit, then use the necromancer’s raise ability. Measure the impact on battlefield strength compared to leaving the unit dead.
- Reserve necromancy spells for moments when a key unit dies.
- Avoid reckless assaults that could lead to irreversible losses.

Accessibility Assessment
Play a battle segment with Color‑Blind Mode active. Evaluate readability of UI elements and note any remaining visual challenges.
