Description:The Lords of Midnight is a classic strategy adventure that blends large-scale warfare with intimate exploration across a vast, frozen realm. Command rival lords, muster armies, and carve supply-safe routes while pursuing two distinct paths to victory. Every turn challenges your planning, as daylight reveals opportunities and night closes in with danger and looming forces.
Highlights
- Dual victory routes: wage a full-scale war or undertake a perilous quest through enemy lands
- Line-of-sight exploration that rewards scouting, positioning, and terrain awareness
- Meaningful recruitment of allied lords, capture of strongholds, and defense of strategic passes
- Atmospheric storytelling and tense decision-making with lasting consequences
How to play:Choose your victory path by committing to open war across the realm or embarking on a covert quest deep into enemy territory.
Scout the world each day to reveal terrain, keeps, and enemy hosts, using line-of-sight to plan safe routes and ambushes.
Recruit allied lords by visiting their citadels, then merge forces, assign roles, and form multi-army offensives.
Secure strategic positions by capturing strongholds and mountain passes, and hold them through the night to control movement.
Engage enemies by cutting off retreats, leveraging terrain for advantage, and coordinating multi-front attacks to shatter morale.
Protect your questing party by conserving movement, avoiding patrols, and using discovered items and routes to bypass strongholds.
