Map Features

Tiles

Reinforcements

Rodrigue will appear as an allied reinforcement on the north easternmost side of the map but will probably be more of a hindrance than an aid. Make sure you rush to their side to prevent their deaths.

Tips and Tricks

Lure Enemies to Fire Pits

You can hold your units at the other side of a crater and entice your opponents to come to you, leaving them stuck on the fire pits.

Use Flying Units

Fliers are not affected by the wastelands or the craters, so they are an ideal choice in this map.

Counter Armored Enemies with Magic

The majority of your opponents are in heavy armor, so bring your magic users to make short work of them.
