Complete with tiles that allow players to strategize their tactical moves and attack in real time.
The games units are fully customizable with armor, weapons and new stat tokens. Hence the players can pick these up throughout the tabletop RTS game by completing special challenges. Stat tokens provide points that players can add to their characters stats which unlock when players level up. Stat tokens can be available in each of the various Battle Boards in the game. Players can add a tactical edge to their combat by utilizing Ability cards and Godly cards. While their figurine gains more experience by completing special battle board objectives.
