Unit Purchasing for tactical battles?

Sovereignty: Crown of Kings is a turn-based fantasy strategy game for the PC. It offers a intuitive yet deep province system, allowing you to raise armies, conduct diplomacy, scout enemy battle lines, rally heroes to your banner, send them on quests, cast spells and go to war. In Sovereignty, the player chooses one of 35 Realms in a bid for dominance of the map. Play is conducted in a series of turns as a single player game. Each Realm has a unique culture and history, which translates directly into different play-styles. Each realm has its own mix of unit types and spell trees. Their diplomatic relations, economies and histories vary. A player may choose a new realm and experience the game in a very different way. Fantasy heroes, troops, races and spells complement the rise to power.

Unit Purchasing for tactical battles?

Post by jack54 »

Hi again,

Are the units on the purchase screen the size of the maneuver elements for tactical battles?

Example...if your purchase 2 light infantry do you have 2 separate units for the battle or do you add these elements together or to existing units?

Do they represent individuals or multiple combatants. 100 men, 10 men etc.?

Thanks!

The game is looking Good!

Each unit you purchase appears as a separate unit in battles (both Tactical and Auto-battle). Each Stack may have up to 20 units. This means that each province can hold up to 20 land units, and each naval stack can also hold up to 20 naval units. Combined arms work best.

Units either represent Groups (such as Pikemen) or Single Entities (such as a Mountain Giant). When damaged, Groups deal less damage themselves, but also take less damage from ranged fire. In contrast, damaged or undamaged Single Entities deal the same damage, but also take full damage from ranged fire when they are damaged.

The Single/Group icon to the far right lets you know what kind of unit this is.

I should also add that the "armed forces" profiles I've been posting in the Weekly Spotlights aren't displaying the hard stats for units as they actually appear in the game. The Weekly Spotlights are intended more as an overview of each realm.

Sovereignty displays unit stats either in "card" form in battles and campaign, or as a comparable list on the purchase screen.

Good Hunting!
