Game description

Battles of Antargis currently consists of:

• a tutorial and
• a campaign for single players, which have several levels (or maps) each.
• Apart from this there are two single maps.

Your mission differs in each level. You'll have to:

• gather people
• build a village
• cross some obstacles
• fight and defeat your enemy
• flee
• ambush or spy on your enemy

The major difference to "normal" RTS-games like Warcraft or C&C is your restricted control over your people. You can only control your heroes directly. Their troopers and all the others of your people have their own mind. You have to provide them with rest, food, weapons and so on. Otherwise they may leave you.
