Battle

Basics

In Elvenar there are 5 units for each race to be unlocked and trained in the Barracks. Except for the first unit, which is unlocked with the Barracks, all other units need to be unlocked with a separate technology in the Research Menu. You can improve all of your units with Upgrades, which can also be found in the Research menu. Once you have built the Barracks, you can take a closer look at every unit, even locked ones, by clicking on their respective info icon. When you click on an icon, the following unit Information is displayed:

Units Overview

The units of both Elves and Humans have equal strength but their tactical style is a bit different. Both races have two basic units types: 1 light melee and 1 short ranged. The difference between Elves and Humans for those Units is that the human type does better Damage but has weaker Defense, while the elvish type is more balanced. The third and fourth type is completely different for both races. The last type is a magic supporter for both. In addition, there is also a range of other units you will fight against on the World Map.

Army Setup

Before you start the battle you need to set up your army. On the battlefield units of one type will be grouped into Squads. You can place from 1 to 5 Squads on the battlefield. Remember: The more the better!

You will be able to remove Squads and replace them as long as you have not started the battle yet. You will always place full Squad on the battlefield unless you do not have enough units in a Squad, then only a partial Squad will be placed. Squads have a size which increases during the game: The bigger the Squad the more units will fit into it and also the stronger will the Squad will be. Your enemies will also have different Squad sizes. The Squad sizes of enemies increase with each new province you’ll scout and with the distance of the province from your city!

Clicking on the “I” on the picture of the enemies, you can see here their Attributes per unit.

The Battlefield

On the battlefield you will find the fighters already in their starting positions. Your troops are on the left and the opponents are on the right. Each Squad takes one hex on the field. Hex fields where the fighters can move are highlighted. Sometime you will find also obstacles on the battlefield so you will need to develop different tactics to attack or defend. If the units can attack from long range, it can of course also attack over obstacles.

Initiative Bar

Squad tooltip.png

The total Squad Hitpoints value corresponds to the living units and is given from: Total Hitpoints/Unit Weight. The total Squad Damage is not reduced for every lost unit by its damage. A squad where some units are lost attacks with at least half the Damage of a full Squad even when only one unit is left.
