Fantasy

Hex-based battlefield tactics and unit customization define the core of Fantasy General's appeal. Players carefully choose their armies, mixing infantry, cavalry, and spellcasters, then deploy them across diverse maps, from snowy peaks to volcanic wastelands. The persistent campaign, where units gain experience and carry over between battles, is what compels players to return, forging a sense of attachment and investment in their forces as they march toward victory.
