Of course, the master controller is you, the player. Innovative control mechanics await. And as the overarching commander of the battle you will control a wealth of units as they storm the front-lines.
Dynamic AI Systems
Developers Game-Labs proudly boast their ‘Smart AI Commanders’ as a driving force behind the success of this strategic title. Game difficulty is dictated by the nine separate AI ‘personalities’.
