Plan your next Wartales session
Our independent guide expands on Wartales’ documented systems, offering observations that let you compare options and refine decisions without promising hidden bonuses. By looking at each mechanic side‑by‑side, you can choose the approach that best fits your play style, whether solo or in co‑op.
01 / THE GUIDE
Analyzing Settlement Types
List resources offered by villages, mines and tombs. Note which contracts originate near each settlement and how travel distance influences profit. Compare the data to decide where early raids yield the best return.
- Note the type of settlement you approach; it often signals nearby contract opportunities.
- Compare the difficulty of bandit camps versus tombs to decide where to start your raids.
02 / THE GUIDE
Balancing Party Roles
Create two party builds: one melee‑focused, one ranged‑focused. Run identical low‑level encounters with each and record turn order, damage output and survivability to see which role mix suits your tactics.
- Balance weapon preferences across the party to handle different enemy types.
- Mix personalities to create varied dynamics during camp interactions.
03 / THE GUIDE
Optimising Crafting Loops
Track material yields from different locations, then map those to the crafting recipes that improve camp recovery. Identify the most efficient gather‑to‑upgrade cycle for early game progression.
- Map out enemy positions before engaging to spot optimal flanking routes.
- Compare equipment choices with the characters and tactics you plan to use in an encounter.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑Op Resource Sharing
In a multiplayer session, try different loot‑splitting methods—equal split, role‑based allocation, or need‑based distribution. Observe how each method affects party equipment upgrades and subsequent battle performance.
- Assign roles before combat—frontline, ranged support and healer—to keep engagements balanced.
- Use the campfire moment to discuss upcoming contracts and divide loot fairly.
05 / THE GUIDE
Tactical Positioning Practice
Set up a mock combat with a single enemy type. Record outcomes for frontline, flank and rear positions, noting which arrangement yields the highest damage per turn and lowest casualties.
- Prioritise crafting tools that boost camp recovery rates early on.
- Compare material yields from mines versus tombs to optimise gathering trips.
