== Gameplay == The player controls a group of heroes or commanders to accomplish some goals each phase. They are joined with non-controlled allies to battle with enemy commanders. Before each phase, the player can purchase up to eight army units from a single type for every one of its heroes. The type of the available army depends on the hero class (e.g. Griffons can only be purchased by Dragon Knights) and have different prices. At the end of each phase, any surviving army provides some amount of cash for the player to use next time.
