Battalia: The Creation is a fast-paced strategy board game that combines character development, control of key areas, a modular map, and unique calendar mechanisms. It features four factions - the Bear People, the Cloudborn, the Living Coals, and the Islanders. The main idea of Battalia is that all four factions can freely interact with each other under a common leadership, considering that multiple units of one nation, using their own artifacts, are much stronger when acting together.
Information from the publisher:
Batalia - the land of the Solar Oracle - the almighty ancient monument, both friend and foe, master and servant, instrument and masterpiece of creation. Eternal apprentice of Nature herself and hand of the gods among beasts and men - sometimes the Oracle reveals your entire destiny, sometimes shows you only the steep and uneven path to it...
In the game itself, the Sun Oracle provides various opportunities and could help you if you catch the moment on a sunny day. He tirelessly counts down the days and accompanies you in the eternal competition between the inhabitants of these lands: the Bear People, the Cloudborn, the Living Coals and the Islanders. Four peoples - four elements and their lords will fight for supremacy in the world of Batalia.
The main idea of the game is that all four factions can freely interact with each other under a common leadership, but multiple units from one nation, using their own artifacts, are much stronger together. Also, unlike most games where players choose their factions, here the factions will likely choose the players. In the base game, two to four people will combine and optimize the strengths of these nations. They will seek the right path to victory, striving to compose the strongest deck, build the most favorable map for them, call upon powerful heroes to help at the right moment, and create their great nation - acquiring, settling, conquering... Developing cities and road connections between them, creating valuable artifacts, hiring new combat units to strengthen armies - these are all options that players will have to combine in the most correct way, at the most precise moment, in order to ultimately call themselves true rulers of Batalia and win this strategic game.
