Band of Mercenaries is a 4-player local arena game. One-hit often means one death sOoo... So you should better build the best team of mercenaries !
The game is designed around two phases: First
you make your team, then
you fight !
For now there are two game modes:
For quick games (between 15 and 30 minutes)You fight in a region with 4 battles. Before each battle, you
get your mercenaries in a betting phase. Mercenaries are presented to the players and they join the highest bidder.
Then you fight like every arena game !
The player or coalition (if you play with teams) with the most battles won is declared the winner !
To spice things up, losers get one more coin after each battle and additionnal coins can be earned at the end of certain battles if you complete optionnal objectives.
For longer games (30 minutes to 2 hours)Players must
manage their kingdom on a strategic map if they hope to
gather powerful armies. This is how they can win the decisive battles because as before, battles are played out in the arena, so beware...
strategy is not the only factor for success!
Their objective here? Basically to take the province of the other players's leader, but some maps can help you win in other ways !
