Our take on King Arthur - The Role-playing Wargame

What is King Arthur - The Role-playing Wargame?
Play as King Arthur in a story campaign to conquer Britannia.
Recruit knights for the Round Table, send them on quests or into battle, and develop Camelot. On a three-dimensional campaign map, heroes move between provinces, claim territory, and encounter adventures. Campaign play is turn-based, with changing seasons affecting gameplay and the map’s appearance. Battles take place in real time, where unit strengths, hero abilities, monsters, and spells shape tactical options.
Decisions affect Arthur’s position on a morality chart, including his religious outlook and style of rule; these choices unlock allies, heroes, units, and developments. Heroes gain skills, spells, and abilities from an experience-based tree, and can equip magic items or govern provinces. The campaign unfolds in chapters with objectives and choices that influence its ending.
