A frantic mix of base building and real-time strategy where you defend against nightly undead hordes using magic, cannons, and armies.

What players say
Players call this a worthy Warcraft 2 successor with visible garrisoning and active development, but the AI is widely criticized for cheating and allies never helping. Players split on pathfinding and note that wood runs out with no market to buy more, and matches are hard to find.
