The player manages elite troops, berserkers, sergeants, and engineers in the campaign, as well as various assault and defense machines (such as ballistae, burning oil, battering rams, mobile bridges, siege towers, assault ladders, and catapults)and magicians to hurl spells at the enemy. The game features 24 different scenarios, and comes with an editor to allow the players to make new scenarios, or modify those included.[1]
