Plan your next Veterum session
This companion guide walks through Veterum's documented systems step by step, with no paid tier required. By practicing combat fundamentals, terrain manipulation, adaptation to a randomized world, mission creation and difficulty tuning, you can prepare for whatever the awakened wilds throw at your army.
01 / THE GUIDE
Assess Morale Impact
Field two groups whose morale differs noticeably and run a brief engagement. Compare how each group performs and note where morale seems to tip the scales.
- Check unit morale before committing fighters to a battle.
- Keep an eye on accumulated fatigue so troops stay effective deep into a fight.
02 / THE GUIDE
Terrain Modification Test
Set up a practice encounter, then add a barricade and a ditch. Observe how enemy movement responds to the altered ground and record which of your units gain the most from the new layout.
- Spend a scroll to alter conditions before a tough encounter.
- Light the battlefield with fire when night creatures are on the opposing side.
03 / THE GUIDE
Random Encounter Adaptation
Fight several random battles in a row without reorganizing your army. Log which opponent types recur most often, then decide which fighters to bring next time.
- Explore multiple regions early to sample a variety of quest lines.
- Reassess your unit mix after each random battle to handle new threats.
04 / THE GUIDE
Custom Mission Creation
Open the map editor and build a night scenario featuring fire sources. Play it through to see how lighting the battlefield changes what your units can perceive.
- Start with a small test map to learn how terrain choices play out.
- Publish completed missions so other players can try them and give feedback.
05 / THE GUIDE
Difficulty Tuning Experiment
Replay the same fight under different settings, varying the overall difficulty, hit chance or HP values between attempts. Compare the results to find the balance that suits you.
- For mouse-based play, the Steam accessibility listing explicitly identifies Mouse Only Option among the supported features.
- Tune hit chance and HP settings alongside the overall difficulty to find a comfortable challenge.
