Units all have strengths and weaknesses when fighting against other units, and knowing when to pull back is often just as important as when to push forward when one of your units is about to face down a threat they are ill-equipped to deal with. Placing your ranged units on the high ground and letting the enemy rush you before sending your melee in to charge against them is a smarter move than just rushing the enemy with all of your units at once. With a finite number of units to deploy and no resource management to worry about mid-mission, Battle March emphasizes strategy and tactics more than winning by sheer numbers. Gold is accumulated both from winning battles and from random drops from enemy squads and buildings, which can be spent between battles to upgrade your units with better equipment, blessings, and siege items. These units gain experience from battle to battle, making careful management of them key unless you want to retrain a newbie squad for your next battle. Unlike a traditional RTS, you start each mission with a set number of units, with each unit composed of a number of actual soldiers. While still capable of delivering a strong RTS experience to newcomers, Battle March doesn’t really have enough new content for people who already own the original title.įor those newcomers, though, Battle March is a lot of fun. The expansion includes all of the original content with no alterations. Battle March expands upon that to add new playable races to the game. Warhammer: Mark of Chaos came out in 2006 and delivered a solid RTS experience to the Warhammer faithful.
