Our take on Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion
Rather than resolving turns as simple back-and-forth exchanges, the game commits allied and enemy actions to a shared battle phase. Its command cap and persistent orders also replace constant unit-by-unit input with advance planning and formation management.
What is Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion?
Lead Calius Septim and other commanders through a story-driven campaign set in the Empire of Estellion.
Battles use a simultaneous-action system: orders for allies and enemies unfold during the same phase, requiring advance planning rather than purely reactive play. Troop placement, formations, unit statistics, character traits, and active abilities all affect battlefield decisions. Command limits restrict how many troops can receive orders, while persistent standing orders provide AI-assisted instructions across multiple turns. Units of the same type can be grouped into formations of up to three, granting special abilities and buffs. The Codex covers unit types, characters, cultures, locations, and the setting's history.
