Buy Fantasy General II: Invasion Hero Edition PC key

Fantasy General II: Invasion is a turn-based strategy game set in Aer, three hundred years after the Shadow Wars ravaged Keldonia. You play as the son and heir of Falir One-Eye, a renowned warrior leading a Barbarian clan in the Highlands of Fareach. Eager to prove yourself to your father and the Clan Council, you lead your clan through battles and decisions that shape its army and reputation.

The clans and the Empire

The Barbarian clans are independent hill-land tribes that fight fiercely to preserve their freedom. They have long feuded among themselves and raided the wealthier Borderlands. After the Borderland clans called on the Empire for aid, its Western Imperial Legion, supported by Iseal and Machnar, killed High King Brendan at Wyrm’s Pass. A treaty then barred clans from crossing into the Borderlands, but without a High King to unite them, the clans continued to quarrel and raid one another.

The Empire is Aer’s most powerful realm. You can face its Legions, magical creations such as dragon cannons and golems, and the Undead hordes they bring to battle. Harpies, lizard people and great dragons also stand in your way.

Turn-based battles

You command armies of more than 75 unit types, including powerful heroes. Battles require you to account for terrain, weapons, armour, magical effects, morale and the balance of forces as you plan and carry out your tactics.

The campaign takes you across varied battlefields, where the terrain calls for different tactics and army compositions. You fight through the cold, magic-rich highlands of Fareach; the Borderlands’ fertile river valleys and deep woods, where witches and monsters roam; the swampy Sunken Land, submerged by a great Cataclysm and home to Lizardfolk; and the temperate Empire in the south, with its wondrous cities built on undead labour.

Develop your army

Between battles, you make decisions and develop your forces. Young clan members can be trained, and recruits gain experience as they fight, eventually becoming champions. But experienced units that die lose their progression and experience, so a costly victory can be worse than defeat.

Each unit has its own abilities, arms and armour. You can equip units with magic artefacts found in battle and upgrade them with gold and resources plundered from your enemies.

Forces of the clans

Your clan’s forces include axemen, berserkers, spearmaidens, trolls and shamans. You can summon ancestor spirits and mighty elementals, train nimble stag riders and deadly werebears, or hire mercenaries ranging from longbowmen to centaurs.
