About the Game

Three hundred years have passed since the Shadow Wars have ravaged Keldonia and the world of Aer, and the struggles of the past have long since faded into legends.
In the Highlands of Fareach, Clans of Barbarian warriors have eked out a living in the harsh northern climate, constantly feuding with each other and raiding the wealthier Borderland towns. Fed up with these constant attacks, the Borderland Clans called on the Empire for help – a powerful realm controlling the land from the Scarlett Mountains to Cynehelm Valley and the Hoarwood. The Western Imperial Legion was sent to face the highland raiders, and with the help of the Borderland clans Iseal and Machnar, killed High King Brendan in the battle of Wyrm’s Pass.
A treaty was signed that forbade any clan from crossing into the Borderlands in return for peace. Since then, there has been no High King to unite the Clans, and they fell into quarrelling and raiding amongst themselves.
In these dark times your clan has been led by Falir One-Eye, a warrior of great renown. You are his son and designated heir, and you are eager to prove your mettle to the Clan Council and your father…

The Legacy

Fantasy General II: Invasion is the reimagination of the strategy game classic from the 90s!
Armies once again draw battle-lines on the war-torn land of Keldonia, and a new generation of commanders will test their bravery and tactics against each other. Fantasy wargaming is back!

The Battles

True to the tradition of the original game, Fantasy General II is all about turn-based battles. Lead over 75 different unique unit types, including powerful heroes.
Take into consideration terrain, weapons and armour, magical effects, morale, and the balance of forces, make a plan, execute it, and vanquish your enemy, forging your reputation as a savage war-leader.

The Campaign

Battle after battle, you will need to make decisions and develop your army. The young clan members will need to be trained, and as they gain enough experience, even the greenest recruits can be turned into champions. But beware: costly victories can be worse than a defeat… when battle-hardened units perish, so does their progression and experience.
Each unit comes with their specific abilities, arms and armour, and they can be equipped with magic artefacts you find during battle and upgraded with gold and resources that you need to plunder from your enemy.

The Clans

A confederation of autonomous hill-land tribes, who value their independence and will fight fiercely for it.
Field axemen, berserkers, spearmaidens, trolls and shamans, summon ancestor spirits and mighty elementals or train nimble stag riders and deadly werebears or recruit mercenaries from longbowmen to centaurs.

The Empire

The most powerful realm on the face of Aer.
Face the mighty Legions of the Empire and their magical creations from dragon cannons to golems as well as the Undead hordes they bring to battle, or fight harpies, lizard people and great dragons on your way.

The World

The world of Aer is filled with beauty and wonders. From the cold, magic-rich highlands of Fareach, home to the player’s Barbarian Clans, to the Borderlands with their fertile river valleys and deep woods where witches and monsters still roam free; from the Sunken Land, submerged through a great Cataclysm and filled with treacherous swamp and Lizardfolk, to the refined and temperate Empire to the South, home to wondrous cities and built upon undead labour. Your campaign will see you fight across very different battlefields, requiring variable tactics and army composition.

The story’s alright, but as a tactics game, its way too hard for me. I have to think about way too many factors. Soldiers die permanently and you cant undo any moves either. all this makes it super unfriendly to

Pale parody of the first part. And no "General" at all. In the original series there were a lot of different unit types with counter-stats and abilities. There you have something like a poor bastard of Disciples and Age

**⚔️ Fantasy General II – Classic Turn-Based Strategy Done with Modern Polish** *Fantasy General II* feels like a love letter to old-school turn-based strategy games, but with enough modern refinement to make it

mostly ok so far. dont like the fact that there is a 'treasure countdown'.. makes no sense.. artificial mechanisms are pathetic. it'd be ok if someone else was taking the booty.. but no, 'just no longer available'..

This games has some veeeeery bad x-com 2 vibes. On one had the game wants you to move fast so that you can get more resources from the mission. But at the same time carless movement gets you killed, plus you need to

I need to begin by stating strategy games are not my thing, I have never got on with them, even from the early Empire games on Atari/Amiga, I have never seen the appeal, Civilization was my limit back then, but I would
