Glorious Storm

Glorious Storm is set in 1801 on the island of Gloria, ten years into a civil war that began after King Edward died in 1791. Several of the kingdom’s generals have turned against each other, and the Glorians have lost hope. You play as Edward’s nephew, ruler of the peaceful and prosperous Duchy of PortHeaven, and aim to conquer Gloria and restore the kingdom’s former glory. You buy powder, ammunition and provisions to take on the other generals.

Customize your army

You can choose your army’s flag and uniforms, as well as soldiers’ equipment such as haversacks, shakos and cartridges. You can also set your general’s name and portrait.

Campaign map

The War Cabinet is where you start your campaign and return after each battle. On its turn-based 3D map, you move your army between areas to conquer territories and manage your finances, with help from your aides-de-camp.

You command four types of units:

• General: take control of the general on the battlefield in third person. The general never dies and can be moved anywhere on the map at any time.
• Infantry: change formations freely between line, column and square. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Infantry use muskets and bayonets to fire and charge.
• Cavalry: move quickly and can be powerful when used well. Cavalry can form line or column, maneuver around the enemy and attack from behind, using lances in close combat.
• Artillery: fire cannonballs anywhere on the map. Artillery is not very accurate, but a hit can destroy a formation. You can request artillery support from the on-screen button panel without selecting an artillery unit.

Battle interface

The interface includes an army counter, a minimap and an army panel showing unit sizes and types. Unit descriptions include images and statistics, while a timer tracks the length of the battle and a news panel reports what is happening. Each unit has its own panel for detailed management, and other controls let you take control of your general, command artillery, change the camera view and see the whole map at once.
