Battles. None of the battle commands have a gold or supply cost associated with the
order. However, all brigades consume gold and supplies each turn after each turn’s
Production and before other orders (except Trade) are issued (see the Sequence of Events
chart).
Attack Enemy Legion
Attack Enemy Legion. Clicking on this choice will provide a list of enemy legions in
the same area (hex) as your legion. If there are no enemy legions in the hex, you will be
notified of this and the command is invalid. Otherwise click on the name of the enemy
legion you wish to attack. Next you will be asked to select the tactic you wish to use in
your attack – refer to the Tactics document for assistance in the selection. In general, it is
risky to attack enemy legions which have a greater strength in terrain than your own
legion, although in certain occasions with the right tactics this can catch your enemy
unaware and be successful.
Defend Against Enemy Legion
Defend Against Enemy Legion. This is very similar to Attack Enemy Legion although
of course here your legion does not initiate battle. Clicking on this choice will provide a
list of enemy legions in the same area (hex) as your legion. If there are no enemy legions
in the hex, you will be notified of this and the command is invalid. Otherwise click on
the name of the enemy legion you wish to defend against. Next you will be asked to
select the tactic you wish to use in your attack – refer to the Tactics document for
assistance in the selection. If the enemy legion you defend against does not order an
attack against your legion, there will be no battle (exception: if either side selects Counter
Attack).
Investigate Unusual Sighting
Investigate Unusual Sighting. This menu option will only be available should your
legion be located in the same area as an Unusual Sighting, represented by an “unusual”
icon on the map in the operational view. After selecting this, the only remaining choice
is the Tactical Selection; see the Tactics document for help. When you choose this
command all your leaders in good health in that legion – not restricted to the three
highest ranking – will participate in a battle to slay the guardian of an artifact. They are
subject to somewhere between significant and great risk in this undertaking, depending
on their own rank and the quality of the Guardian. If successful, your legion will recover
an artifact that will be assigned to a high ranking leader who participated in the battle.
You may also recover treasure expressed in gold that is added to your treasury. Artifacts
aid in combat and provide status points.
Attack Population Center
Attack Population Center. This menu option will only be available should your legion
be located in the same area as a Population Center your kingdom does not control: one of
the village, town, or city icons on the operational map. After selecting this, the only
remaining choice is the Tactical Selection. See the Tactics document for help. In
general, you will want to be sure in the legion details that your legion has a respectable
margin in its Value vs. PC over the PC defensive value. Although it is possible to defeat
