Fantasy General II - Invasion
Description
Three hundred years have passed since the Shadow Wars have ravaged Keldonia and the world of Aer, and the struggles of the past have long since faded into legends.
In the Highlands of Fareach, Clans of Barbarian warriors have eked out a living in the harsh northern climate, constantly feuding with each other and raiding the wealthier Borderland towns. Fed up with these constant attacks, the Borderland Clans called on the Empire for help – a powerful realm controlling the land from the Scarlett Mountains to Cynehelm Valley and the Hoarwood. The Western Imperial Legion was sent to face the highland raiders, and with the help of the Borderland clans Iseal and Machnar, killed High King Brendan in the battle of Wyrm’s Pass.
A treaty was signed that forbade any clan from crossing into the Borderlands in return for peace. Since then, there has been no High King to unite the Clans, and they fell into quarrelling and raiding amongst themselves.
In these dark times your clan has been led by Falir One-Eye, a warrior of great renown. You are his son and designated heir, and you are eager to prove your mettle to the Clan Council and your father…
- The Legacy
Fantasy General II is the reimagination of the strategy game classic from the 90s!
Armies once again draw battle-lines on the war-torn land of Keldonia, and a new generation of commanders will test their bravery and tactics against each other. Fantasy wargaming is back! - The Battles
True to the tradition of the original game, Fantasy General II is all about turn-based battles. Lead over 75 different unique unit types, including powerful heroes.
Take into consideration terrain, weapons and armour, magical effects, morale, and the balance of forces, make a plan, execute it, and vanquish your enemy, forging your reputation as a savage war-leader. - The Campaign
Battle after battle, you will need to make decisions and develop your army. The young clan members will need to be trained, and as they gain enough experience, even the greenest recruits can be turned into champions. But beware: costly victories can be worse than a defeat… when battle-hardened units perish, so does their progression and experience.
Each unit comes with their specific abilities, arms and armour, and they can be equipped with magic artefacts you find during battle and upgraded with gold and resources that you need to plunder from your enemy. - The Clans
A confederation of autonomous hill-land tribes, who value their independence and will fight fiercely for it.
Field axemen, berserkers, spearmaidens, trolls and shamans, summon ancestor spirits and mighty elementals or train nimble stag riders and deadly werebears or recruit mercenaries from longbowmen to centaurs. - The Empire
The most powerful realm on the face of Aer.
Face the mighty Legions of the Empire and their magical creations from dragon cannons to golems as well as the Undead hordes they bring to battle, or fight harpies, lizard people and great dragons on your way. - The World
The world of Aer is filled with beauty and wonders. From the cold, magic-rich highlands of Fareach, home to the player’s Barbarian Clans, to the Borderlands with their fertile river valleys and deep woods where witches and monsters still roam free; from the Sunken Land, submerged through a great Cataclysm and filled with treacherous swamp and Lizardfolk, to the refined and temperate Empire to the South, home to wondrous cities and built upon undead labour. Your campaign will see you fight across very different battlefields, requiring variable tactics and army composition.

Not very original, but still very solid.
Almost everything about this game is good: setting, units, upgrades, choices and their consequences, factions, variety, length, even music. Yet, nothing is brilliant, new, unseen or extraordinarily executed. It's a solid product which I liked and I suspect many fans of the genre would too. The only downside I see is within the story, the world feels like it has much to tell you about itself, yet it never takes that opportunity. The woods are haunted by the spirits, cool, but please explain how that happens and why, if you're going to tell me the story, please do so. Our clan has a feud with clan X? Nice, but why and how does it started? Tell me the background, explain a bit and I will be happy to make my decisions based upon that, not based upon the rewards it brings me. And when there is no context, how else can I weight my decisions if not by checking every reward via saving and reloading? Overall I give this game an 8: solid, pleasure to play, but there is nothing groundbreaking in it.

Fun Game
Fairly well designed and challenging. A nice variety of unit types. I do wish advancing non-hero units was a little less resource reliant.

Great Game!
Fun and alot more deep than it looks and very pretty looking. The UI is alot better than the original to along with the awesome sound and music. The units are cool and different with many upgrade paths to chose from. Make sure to use the terrian to its full to get the best from your units. I also like the lack of RNG very nice. The onslaught DLC is enjoyable i choose the mercenary commander to play and its been touch and go Its very hard but fun. Unlike the main campaign the DLC campaign is procedurally generated with 30 maps which is nice adds to the value for me. Great Game Good Job Devs!
