The Basics
This chapter covers the basics of setting up your kingdom, from the simple act of building structures to the inner workings of your economy. Additionally, this chapter covers the concept of flags, which inspire your heroes to perform deeds on your behalf.
Buildings
Every structure you can build is covered in this chapter: The defensive towers that keep the enemy at bay, the guilds where your heroes rest their tired feet, the economic structures that keep your treasury filled with gold, and the massive temples that allow you to hire the most elite classes of heroes.
Heroes
The strengths and weaknesses of the various hero classes are covered in this chapter, as well as every ability they can learn. This chapter also gives you an overview of your heroes' statistics and how these statistics influence their abilities.
Items and Spells
Part of your job as King is to provide goods for your heroes to purchase and equipment for them to use. This chapter covers all of these items in detail, from the basic health potion to the expensive armor and weapons. In this chapter, you will find detailed statistics about every item and enhancement your heroes can purchase. Additionally, you will learn about Your Majesty's spells and about the Great Artifacts, powerful items that are found in the singleplayer campaign.
Monsters
As your heroes explore Ardania, they encounter a wide variety of undead, magical creatures, and beasts. This chapter covers all the enemies your heroes will fight, including their strengths and weaknesses. Destroying a creature's habitat often can put a stop to their continual attacks, and this chapter will show you which creatures live in which lairs.
Campaign
Here you will find a step-by-step guide to completing each of the sixteen campaign missions. The walkthroughs show you every Trading Post on each map, the most dangerous areas and how to avoid them until your heroes are ready, and efficient ways to spend your gold to get the most out of your heroes as they gain enough experience to tackle the primary objectives.
Single Missions
These missions are stand-alone missions that range from easy and fun to very, very difficult. This chapter gives you step-by-step walkthroughs for each, including some new tactics you'll need to learn to deal with the specific challenges these missions present.
Multiplayer
Your strategies in a multiplayer match are fairly different from those in the single-player campaign, and this chapter will give you tips and tricks for preventing a human opponent from laying waste to your town and your heroes. Additionally, there are in-depth analyses of each multiplayer map, detailing the points of interest that you will want to control and the dangerous areas you'll want to avoid.
