| ..:: Introduction ::.. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
As a fan of the old DOS game Fantasy General by SSI I was exited to hear about
its spiritual successor, Fantasy Wars. After browsing around on the web
I was quite surprised to see that no guides were present for this russian made
gem, even though people seemed to want one. In light of this I decided to take
a shot at it myself, and perhaps in the doing, raising interest for the game as
well.
This is my first FAQ, so bare with me.
The designers/translators seem to be a bit indecisive when it comes to spell
the word "armor" in the various descriptions, but at least it is spelled
consistent.
As a rule the headings are spelled "Armour" and in the text it is "Armor".
I say potatoe and you say...

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
For a long time now Derrik Pfeil, the youngest son a poor noble family, has
been making his living as a mercenary. His numerous victories have earned him
the reputation of a great commander.
Eventually Pfeil's army was hired on a long-term basis by the Trade Council of
Sylent. But the neighboring kingdoms did not rush to attack the free town, and
merchants felt really bad about paying the money to maintain the mercenaries.
Pfeil's army was sent to Derenhalle. King Victor pays gold for tranquility of
his southern boarders.

remnants of legends from the times when their tribes were powerful, but even
legends end up dying in the endless bloodshed. Yet, everything changes...
The young, strong chief Ugraum heard the hexer's word and grasped their

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Human Units [HUMAR] |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Peasants [PESNT]
--------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 10 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 45 Melee...... 7
Sellback... 22 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Start of human campaign
Description:
The peasants have it bad. They have poor armor, poor weapons, and they are
poor warriors, too. Peasants are often sacrificed in big battles, when
they're used to block massive assaults. But their life in peacetime is even
harder so peasants often join the army willingly. Long years of working in
a field can bring several coins, while in a war such sum may come within
months - if such a poor warrior is lucky enough to survive that long.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Forest Ambushers, Highlander
Level 2: Force March, Swamp Foxes
Level 3: Storm Troops, Ford Seekers
Level 4: Segmented Movement
Level 5: Peoples Rage
Possible Upgrades: All foot units + Horse Yeomen and Hobilars
Militia [MILTA]
-------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 10 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 120 Melee...... 7
Sellback... 60 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Start of human campaign
Description:
A peasant is very lucky if he is recruited into a militia detachment by his
lord. Militiamen get food and clothes, and there is even the chance that
they'll earn a few coins. In peacetime, the militia is used to suppress
frequent peasant riots, while in wartime, these detachments form the core
of the infantry. One would never say they are great soldiers, but the
members of the militia really know how to survive in a difficult fight.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Shooting Protection, Highlander
Level 2: Hard Drill, Derenhalle Blades
Level 3: Force March, Ford Seekers
Level 4: Famous, Attack Leaders
Level 5: Light Equipment
Possible Upgrades:
Swordsmen, Spearmen, Halberdiers, Royal Guards, Foot knights, Yeomen
Halberdiers [HLBRS]
-----------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 12 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 210 Melee...... 10
Sellback... 105 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
Mercenary halberdiers have always been the best of the best. They have
fought in many battles, are disciplined, and have a strong understanding of
battle tactics. Their clothes are all a similar color, emphasizing the
cohesion of their units. Their service come at a price, but the power of
their attack is worth the money spent. Furthermore, no other infantrymen
can provide better protection against cavalry.
Default Perks: Cavalry Protection, Armour Piercing (Melee)
Perks:
Level 1: Defensive Tactics, Shooting Protection, Close Order Formation
Level 2: Hard Drill, Mail Armour
Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops
Level 4: Attack Leaders
Level 5: Heavy Halberds
Possible Upgrades: Royal Guards
Swordsmen [SWRDM]
---------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 12 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 200 Melee...... 12
Sellback... 100 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
Most swordsmen are wandering mercenaries, though some lords employ them to
protect their family castles. Swordsmen are well-trained professionals
excellent at handling a shield and a sword, and familiar with infantry
tactics. Few can rival their efficiency and hardness.
Default Perks: City Fighters
Perks:
Level 1: Mail Armour, Shooting Protection, Derenhalle Blades
Level 2: Hard Drill, Highlander
Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops
Level 4: Cause Fear
Level 5: Full Plate Armour
Possible Upgrades: Foot Knights
Spearmen [SPRMN]
--------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 11 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 205 Melee...... 10
Sellback... 102 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
Spearmen are chosen from among the most nimble militiamen. They are
equipped with spears, shields, and leather armor. Their armor is not the
strongest, but it affords some protection in battles. Due to the lightness
of their armor, spearmen can travel fast to where support is most needed,
and can swiftly pass through places where others may get stuck.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Highlander, Shooting Protection, Forest Ambushers
Level 2: Hard Drill, Swamp Foxes
Level 3: Force March, Ford Seekers
Level 4: Segmented Movement
Level 5: Light Equipment

Foot Knights [FTKNI]
------------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 13 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 330 Melee...... 14
Sellback... 165 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse
Description:
Often, swordsmen are knighted as a reward for their deeds in battle. The
ones who do not receive land or war horses become foot knights. These
professional infantrymen are used to fighting on the ground, and do not
need horses. Tough shields and good armor make foot knights practically
invincible. Wherever a detachment of these warriors appears, the enemy will
face a difficult battle.
Default Perks: Hard Target, City Fighters, Defensive Stance
Perks:
Level 1: Mail Armour, Shooting Protection, Derenhalle Blades
Level 2: Hard Drill, Highlander
Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops
Level 4: Cause Fear
Level 5: Full Plate Armour

Royal Guards [RGUAR]
------------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 14 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 310 Melee...... 12
Sellback... 155 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse
Description:
Only experienced mercenaries, who have fought in many battles, can become
members of the royal guard. They have earned fortunes for their services,
which explains why they have the best clothes and uniforms, and their
battle-axes are distinguishable for their expert workmanship. Commanders
turn a blind eye to these excesses because Royal Guards are the most
efficient defence against anyone foolish enough to attack their bristling
ranks.
Default Perks: Cavalry Protection, Armour Piercing (Melee), Defence Mainstay
Perks:
Level 1: Defensive Tactics, Shooting Protection, Close Order Formation
Level 2: Hard Drill, Mail Armour
Level 3: Force March, Storm Troops
Level 4: Attack Leaders
Level 5: Heavy Halberds
Possible Upgrades: None
Yeomen [YEMEN]
------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 13 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 345 Melee...... 12
Sellback... 172 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse
Description:
Becoming a yeoman is the best thing a peasant can hope for when he joins
his lord's army. Armed with light spears, axes and short swords, protected
by shields and leather armor, and capable of moving quickly on any terrain,
yeomen represent a serious threat to any enemy. In peaceful times this
force can be used to train militia.
Default Perks: Invisible Stance
Perks:
Level 1: Highlander, Shooting Protection, Forest Ambushers
Level 2: Hard Drill, Swamp Foxes
Level 3: Force March, Ford Seekers
Level 4: Segmented Movement
Level 5: Light Equipment
Possible Upgrades: None
Bowmen [BWMEN]
------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 6 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 125 Melee...... 4 Missile.... 5 (Range 2)
Sellback... 62 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Start of human campaign
Description:
Archers are needed in any war. Peasants know that well. That's why
farsighted fathers teach their sons not only to work in a field, but also
archery. Who knows, during a war a son might make enough money to feed his
whole family. And when there is no war, there's always prey in the lord's
forest.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Bodkin Arrows
Level 2: Ralin Boots, Hills Archers
Level 3: Eagle Eye, Merry Men
Level 4: Wooden Stakes
Level 5: Elven Bowstrings
Possible Upgrades:
Crossbowmen, Yeomen Archers, Arbalesters, Royal Archers
Crossbowmen [CBWMN]
-----------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 10 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 220 Melee...... 5 Missile.... 7 (Range 2)
Sellback... 110 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
Crossbowmen is a relative new weapon, but it has already become quite
popular among mercenaries. However, only the richest can afford to buy
one. Crossbowman units present quite a spectacle to the enemy. Every
fighter tries to emphasize his wealth and outdo his fellow warriors by the
finery of his dress. Commanders usually turn a blind eye to their
presumptuous behavior and lack of discipline, because of their
effectiveness in battle. A volley of crossbow bolts can knock down even the
most heavily armoured regiment of knights.
Default Perks: Armour Piercing (Missiles)
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Steel Bolts
Level 2: Slayer, Hills Archers
Level 3: Crippling Shot, Siege Shooters
Level 4: Eagle Eye
Level 5: Heavy Crossbow
Possible Upgrades: Arbalesters
Yeomen Archers [YARCH]
--------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 7 Move....... 3 (All Terrain)
Price...... 230 Melee...... 5 Missile.... 8 (Range 2)
Sellback... 115 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
These warriors are much more disciplined and highly-trained than ordinary
peasant archers. Loyal to their lord and hardened by battle experience,
yeomen archers are indeed very dangerous. In melee combat, they use axes
and clubs, but they do much more harm to the enemy with their longbows,
accurately shooting arrows 300 paces.
Default Perks: Expert Huntsmen
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Bodkin Arrows
Level 2: Ralin Boots, Hills Archers
Level 3: Eagle Eye, Merry Men
Level 4: Wooden Stakes
Level 5: Elven Bowstrings
Possible Upgrades: Royal Archers
Royal Archers [RARCH]
-------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 3 (All Terrain)
Price...... 340 Melee...... 6 Missile.... 10 (Range 2)
Sellback... 170 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse
Description:
Becoming an archer in the royal guard is the ultimate goal of any archer,
but few will ever attain this position. Once a year, archery tournaments
are held at large midsummer fairs, and the winner are offered a place in
the regiment of these elite warriors. Others marvel at the size of their
salaries, their luxurious uniforms and outfits. But mainly, it's the
accuracy of their bows that sets them apart from the other bowmen.
Default Perks: Expert Huntsmen, Multiple Support
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Bodkin Arrows
Level 2: Ralin Boots, Hills Archers
Level 3: Eagle Eye, Merry Men
Level 4: Wooden Stakes
Level 5: Elven Bowstrings
Possible Upgrades: None
Arbalesters [ARBRS]
-----------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 12 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 330 Melee...... 6 Missile.... 9 (Range 2)
Sellback... 165 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse
Description:
These mercenaries are the true elite of crossbowmen. Their skill level is
similar to other crossbowmen, but their equipment is far superior. Armorers
are paid well to employ the most excellent steel for their armor and
crossbows. These warriors generally demand substantial salaries for their
services.
Default Perks: Armour Piercing (Missiles), City Fighters
Perks:
Level 1: Brigandine Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Steel Bolts
Level 2: Slayer, Hills Archers
Level 3: Crippling Shot, Siege Shooters
Level 4: Eagle Eye
Level 5: Heavy Crossbow
Possible Upgrades: None
Scouts [SCOTS]
------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 8 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 190 Melee...... 4 Skirmish... 7
Sellback... 95 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Start of human campaign
Description:
Many peasants roam in their lord's forests at night carrying bows and
spears, in the hope that they may be able to kill something to eat. The
punishment for poaching is death, but if a hunter gets caught, a timely war
may save him from the gallows pole. Poachers make the best scouts. Why not
allow them to pay for their crimes by providing the lord with valuable but
dangerous service?
Default Perks: Segmented Movement
Perks:
Level 1: Forest Like Home, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters
Level 2: Eagle Eye, Brigandine Armour
Level 3: Swamp Foxes, Ford Seekers
Level 4: Cause Fear
Level 5: Light Equipment
Possible Upgrades: Rangers, Horse Yeomen, Elite Rangers, Hobilars
Rangers [RNGRS]
-------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 280 Melee...... 5 Skirmish... 8
Sellback... 95 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Back to Derenhalle
Description:
These warriors have forgotten that they were once common poachers. They've
long since redeemed themselves with their glorious deeds an the
battlefield. To relegate warriors with such incredible skill and training
to simple field work would be a thoughtless waste. They are no longer
common scouts, they are rangers. They can live alone in the woods for
months, they move as silently as wild animals, and they are highly skilled
with throwing spears and daggers.
Default Perks: Concealment, Harassers, Segmented Movement
Perks:
Level 1: Forest Like Home, Poisoned Attack, Firestarters

Description:
Elite. The best of the best. These warriors have survived hundreds of

Campaign availability: Back to Derenhalle
Description:
Some scouts are given the honor of becoming horsemen. Their duty include
escorting the landlord on the hunt and catching runaway peasants. In
wartime, horse yeomen are engaged in reconnaissance and carrying out raids
behind enemy lines. For this purpose, they are equipped with light throwing

rival professional warriors, but they may cause a lot of trouble for
baggage trains and light infantry.

Campaign availability: Generals of Leranse
Description:
Experienced horse yeomen must serve in hobilar ranks, together with
mercenaries. It is unclear who knows more about the art of war, but such

reinforced leather armor, good swords and fast horses make these light
horsemen a rather troublesome enemy.

Sellback... 115 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue

These powerful birds have attracted the attention of people from time
immemorial. Humans have since learned to tame the eagles living in the
mountains of Leranse and turn them into perfect soldiers. Air hunters offer
huge advantages to the armies they serve. Aside from having a bird's eye
view of targets unavailable to land observers, eagles can fight both on
earth and in the air using their beaks and claws.

Sellback... 165 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse
Description:
War eagles were initially bred from wild birds for hunting and to entertain
the nobility back in the times of the old empire. New rulers now appreciate
their strength in battle. Their mighty beaks and long claws can tear any
enemy to pieces in a few moments. The only weakness of these feathered
hunters is that they're vulnerable to shooters.

Price...... 310 Melee...... 4 Bombardment 9
Sellback... 155 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Plains of Leranse
Description:
Certain young eagles impress the royal falconers with their size. Such
nestlings are taught to wear harnesses straight away, and usually, once
they've grown up, they are strong enough to lift a rider with a load of
stones or bombs into the air. The warriors who fly on the backs of these
giant birds and throw deadly rounds down with precision on their enemies
call themselves eagle riders.

Price...... 260 Melee...... 3 Bolt....... 9 (Range 3)
Sellback... 130 Sight...... 1
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
They say that a spear launched by a ballista can kill an entire detachment.
The stories about the might of these war machines may be slightly
exaggerated, but their effectiveness has been proven time and time again in
battle. A ballista is capable of sending its shells an enormous distance.
The only serious drawback of this war machine is its vulnerability once the
enemy draws near.

Sellback... 137 Sight...... 1
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
A catapult is a powerful war machine capable of attacking fortified cities
and fortresses. To control a catapult you need experience and an accurate
eye, rather than strength and dexterity. One catapult shot can cause
tremendous damage and even a troll will have a hard time if hit by a stone
round. However, a catapult is easily destroyed in a melee.
Default Perks: Armour Piercing (Stone)

This unit's attack value against a unit that has a base strength of 15 will

Sellback... 92 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
These noblemen are unlucky. The younger sons of rich and honorable families
get nothing except their title and the right to wear the coat of arms. They
can never expect money or hereditary land. These landless knights spend

For them, fighting is the only way they can earn their living and perhaps

Description:
From childhood onward, boys in noble families are bred to become warriors
and to bravely defend the honor of their native kingdom. After reaching the
age of majority they are recruited to join the royal cavalry. A unit of
such knights presents a colorful spectacle - pennants, badges, arms, gilt,

which is why they are much more dangerous in battle than their secular
fellows. Only the most experienced warriors are chosen to protect the

the decisive argument in any theological polemic.

in strength and experience. Rumors abound that these knights know secret
ways to fight the undead. These knights on white horses set an example of

horror and death for their enemies. Few can measure up to these symbols of
holiness in battle.

judgment and sternness work in combination with his knowledge and tactical
mastery. During his years of command, Pfeil has never lost a single battle.
The service of his army are not cheap, but he never lacks customers ready

Price...... n/a Melee...... 6 Missile.... 10 (Range 2)
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Rapid Rescue
Description:
When you look at this broad-shouldered man, it's hard to believe that he
is really Alfred Brennok, head of the mage academy, Licvetur. It seems as
though armor would suit him better then the gown of a rector. Long ago the
master was a sergeant of the guards, and one has to wonder who was more
frightened of him, his enemies or the recruits placed under his command.
Brennok's fate changed drastically when he was accused of practicing black
magic. Naturally, the inquisitor were furious when his shackles fell to the
ground on their own. The former Sergeant gradually learned to accept his
gift for magic, and after many years of roaming, he settled down in the
free town of Sylent, where he founded a mage academy.

Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Back to Derenhalle
Description:
Father Dexter is not someone people would like to meet, even though they
would probably learn much from an encounter with him. Everyone who
eventually befriends the father is astonished by his fine mind, excellent
diplomatic skills, broad knowledge and impeccable manners. But most often,
people's first impression are shaped by his strong will, firm faith, and
fanatic longing for the truth. The authority of the Great Priest is
unbelievably vast. Kings and even the Pope himself take his advice into
account.

Price...... n/a Melee...... 9 Charge..... 12
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Bloody Waves
Description:
The king of Derenhalle is a true warrior. He is accustomed to ruling from
the saddle, not the throne. During his younger years, Victor survived
dozens of battles with the orcs who continually attacked his land. Military
experience taught him to take case of his subjects, which is why King
Victor prefers to use mercenary armies to sort out unpleasant situations
on the borders of Derenhalle.

Price...... 40 Melee...... 5
Sellback... 20 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Conquest of Goblins
Description:
No matter where orc clans go, no matter where they fight, hordes of goblins
can be found lurking nearby. Orcs think these creatures are perfectly
suited for different dirty jobs. Even at war goblins may be useful. They
loot the dead and can even sack a village of unarmed peasants.

Strength... 15 Defence.... 10 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 140 Melee...... 7
Sellback... 70 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Joining the majority
Description:
Goblin robbers are not very strong warriors. Dressed in old, worn-out
leather armor, and armed with crude spears, these goblins follow the orc
hordes wherever they venture. Dozens of skilled warriors will easily defeat
an equal amount of robbers, but the teared armor of those who underestimate
these small warriors may be added to the robbers' collection.
Default Perks: Lazy
Perks:

Level 3: Froggy, Lil Boss
Level 4: Segmented Movement

Price...... 200 Melee...... 10
Sellback... 100 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Fall of Freiburg
Description:
An enemy is making a mistake if he thinks he can easily cope with a unit
of these goblins. They are not just simple looters or robbers, but true
masters of quick fighting, a nightmare haunting the forests and swamps
they inhabit. They have armor, helmets, shields and iron weapons, which
they took from the enemy bodies they left in huge numbers on the
battlefield. The victims are numerous in any fight involving goblin
killers.

Price...... 320 Melee...... 13
Sellback... 160 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: War in The Air
Description:
It's difficult to find anyone who can honestly say that they've seen a
goblin crasher. Crashers kill everyone they can run down, and run from
anyone they can't kill. It is said, that crashers rarely run away. Even
orcs prefer not to mess with these goblins. It is far too dangerous to try
to take their weapons and armor.
Default Perks: Lazy, Invisible Stance, Force March

Strength... 15 Defence.... 7 Move....... 3 (All Terrain)
Price...... 60 Melee...... 7
Sellback... 30 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Conquest of Goblins
Description:
Orc Mobs are terrifying mainly because of their size, not their power.
Armed only with crude wooden or bone clubs, clothed in leather jackets,
they are dangerous because of their great number. There are so many of
them that their clans don't even bother to count the victims after a
battle. There always will be another mob as a replacement.

Campaign availability: Reconnaissance in Force
Description:
Mighty orcs who emerge from within the orcish ranks. They are the ones who
have survived the savage selection process of battle after battle. Hardened
by endless fights with their fellow orcs, armed with metal weapons and
shields, stabzas are the core might of orc hordes. No man can hope to kill
an orc stabza with ease, because these orcs are larger and stronger than
any human warrior.

Sellback... 110 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
Battle orcs are veterans of many battles. They are better protected and
armed, and by far more dangerous than most fighters in the horde. Notable
strength and unrivaled discipline (for orcs) enable battle orcs to fight
even foot knights, and their durable armor saves them from bowmen.

Description:
Every orc might can become a clan chief. You cannot miss these orcs among
the ranks of a horde. Incredibly tall, dressed in the best armor with the
heaviest swords and axes, they are easily distinguishable from afar. Orc
mights will form an indestructible wall on their enemy's warpath. They can
turn the tide even in the harshest battle situations.

Sellback... 115 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
Only hexers know the secret of how to brew the concoction for madness. Once
a year they choose the best young orcs, and on Magdar night they make them
drink this concoction. Surviving orcs become berserks. They become mad:
voices and visions urge them to kill, tear and trample. Attacks by these
orcs are violent and horrible. Berserks simply wipe out enemies who engage
them in combat.

Sellback... 160 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Trap for the King
Description:
After surviving dozens of fights with wild animals, trolls and humans, mads
become even more dangerous. Frequent use of concoctions has taught them to
fall into a violent rage without any potions. Each bad mad is larger and
faster than a common berserk and can hold a two-hand stabza with one hand.
A single unit of these fighters can litter the entire battlefield with dead
bodies.

Sellback... 140 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
Wild animals can serve for more than just food! In ancient times, orcs that
lived in forests decided their strongest warriors should battle on bulls'
backs. Descendants of those old families preserved the tradition and now
form the core of the bull cavalry. Bulls have always been the main weapon
of these riders. Mighty animals are not afraid of hot battles, and can
penetrate the most durable armor with one strike of their horns.

Description:
Mighty Riders sit in the saddles of only the most powerful bulls. The blood
lust of these animals worries even the goblins that tend to them. One wrong
move and they'll end up dead! These bulls are always ready to rush into
battle to skewer enemies with their horns and trample whoever stands in
their way- Their eyes are bloodshot and their hoarse breathing resembles
the roar of their riders.

Description:
Only goblins from the forest tribe that have lived and hunted together

on the plains and in the forests.

army: combat hyenas hunt as they fight. Experienced animals chase down and
finish off weakened enemy units and engage in quick devastating raids
behind enemy lines. The riders get rich cleaning up after their steeds, as
hyenas are interested in neither weapons nor armor.

Price...... 270 Melee...... 9
Sellback... 135 Sight...... 1
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
Mages have studied trolls and concluded that they are wild animals with
only a slight trace of intellect. Also, the mages found that trolls prefer
to live in mountains, and aren't very friendly creatures. Orcs are not
concerned about whether or not trolls have an intellect. They use trolls
for their great strength and vitality. In a battle, wild trolls don't carry
weapons; they simply crush their enemies with their rock-hard fists.

Price...... 450 Melee...... 14
Sellback... 225 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: War in The Air

walls if they are attacked by these living war machines. A trained troll is
also capable of resisting a storm of deadly arrows.

--------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 7 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 170 Melee...... 4 Skirmish... 7
Sellback... 85 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Joining the majority
Description:
Some goblin robbers show astonishing quickness. They are much more quicker
than their fellows in finding what can be stolen, running away, and never
giving others a chance to relive them of their stolen loot. They have
mastered the art of running so that not even thick forests and swamps slow
them down. Their obvious talent was awarded by service in the Horde
vanguard as scouts.
Default Perks: Lazy, Segmented Movement

Level 2: Eagle Eye, Enthusiastic Retreat

---------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 8 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 265 Melee...... 5 Skirmish... 9
Sellback... 132 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
These goblins inherited stealthy footsteps and the ability to vanish into
thin air from their ancestors. Sneakers originate from tribes that remained
independent from orcs longer than others, hiding in forests, skillfully
disguising their dwelling and covering up their tracks. Those times are
long gone, but the Sneakers have retained their skulls. They are armed only
with slings and bone knives, but their presence alone is enough to make the
enemy nervous.
Default Perks: Lazy, Brave Hiding, Harassers, Segmented Movement

Level 2: Eagle Eye, Enthusiastic Retreat
Level 3: Froggy, Lil Boss

---------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 370 Melee...... 6 Skirmish... 11
Sellback... 185 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Land of Knights
Description:
The main characters of those terrifying stories nurses tell children to
frighten them are not cruel orcs or mighty trolls but noiseless goblin
stalkers. It is said they are able to enter into guarded castles unnoticed!
And the swords of these demonic creatures can kill enemies with poison at a
distance. Stalkers would be surprised to hear what horrible rumors get
spread because of their habit of quietly robbing hen-houses in the nearest
village. But a commander that takes those stories as odd fables risk dying
in his sleep at the hands of stalkers.
Default Perks:
Lazy, Brave Hiding, Harassers, Segmented Movement, Pathfinder

Goblin Archers [GBLAR]
--------------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 5 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 160 Melee...... 4 Missile.... 5 (Range 2)
Sellback... 80 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Conquest of Goblins
Description:
Goblins who have only recently learned how to handle a bow call themselves
archers. They are so proud of their new role, they hardly bother to aim
their arrows at their enemies. The sheer number of these archers
compensates for their lack of skill, and some arrows still find their
targets.
Default Perks: Lazy, Bark Eaters
Perks:
Level 1: Quiky Mold, Counter Attack (Missile), Straight Arrows
Level 2: Poisoned Arrows, Hills Archers
Level 3: Invisible Stance, Lil Boss
Level 4: Eagle Eye

Goblin Sharp-Eyes [GBLSE]
-----------------
Strength... 15 Defence.... 6 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 270 Melee...... 5 Missile.... 8 (Range 2)
Sellback... 135 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Land of Knights
Description:
Goblins can learn to aim, and are even smart enough to make allowances for
the wind. The orc' educational methods are surprisingly efficient. They
know that after a couple of swift kicks to their ribs, goblins will begin
to master anything a lot more quickly. The same applies to accurate
shooting. These goblins bowmen have become real marksmen, and their arrows
are unerring. Well, almost unerring.
Default Perks: Lazy, Bark Eaters, Multiple Support
Perks:
Level 1: Quiky Mold, Counter Attack (Missile), Straight Arrows
Level 2: Poisoned Arrows, Hills Archers
Level 3: Invisible Stance, Lil Boss

Pteranodon Rider [PTRID]
----------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 9 Move....... 6 (Flight)
Price...... 340 Air Melee.. 10
Sellback... 170 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: War in The Air
Description:
Taming preranodons is a dangerous business. Only the most daring goblins
are up to the task. These goblins have learned to hop into the saddle
while avoiding tail lashes, and to hold their legs up in flight in case the
animal suddenly turns his head. Pteranodons need special training, or else
they will eat their riders. The hight and speed of their flight, combined
with their predator's rage makes it possible to use pteranodons both for
scouting and for hunting enemies from the air.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Sky Dancer, Shadow of a Vulture, Hunter Instincts
Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Segmented Movement
Level 3: Poison Tail, Lasher

Goblin Zeppelina [GBLZP]
----------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 7 Move....... 5 (Flight)
Price...... 240 Melee...... 4 Bombardment 8
Sellback... 120 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
Amazingly, goblins are capable of mighty enterprises, even if they are
generally lazy creatures. They have figured out how to inflate a leather
balloon with swamp gas, attach a basket with paddles and a rudder, and fly.
They soon realized they could throw stones and bombs down on their enemies
from a great height! Their ingenuity is astonishing, however they are often
cursed for being so clever.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Metal Pod, Shadow of a Vulture, Skilled Bomber
Level 2: Shooting Protection: High Altitude, Propeller
Level 3: Balloon Armour, Flame Ammo
Level 4: Cause Fear

Spear Hurler [SPHUR]
------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 5 Move....... 3 (Wheeled)
Price...... 230 Melee...... 3 Bolt....... 9 (Range 3)
Sellback... 115 Sight...... 1
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
A big spear or just a log - it makes no difference to goblins what they use
to load their war machine. It remains a mystery how the goblins manage to
assemble such a powerful machine and how the machine remains intact after
unleashing its ammunition with such devastating force. The Spear Hurler
throws one missile after another at the rows of enemies. However, if the
enemy attacks, the Hurler will likely not even survive a couple of good
blows in close combat.
Default Perks: Bad Wheels, Armour Piercing (Bolt)
Perks:
Level 1: Big Shields, Forward Observer, Target Practice (Bolt)
Level 2: Long Range Thrower, Round Wheels
Level 3: Camouflage, Force March

Stone Tosser [STNTO]
------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 5 Move....... 3 (Wheeled)
Price...... 250 Melee...... 3 Stone...... 10 (Range 3)
Sellback... 175 Sight...... 1
Campaign availability: Land Of Knights
Description:
The tosser can shell the enemy from distant approaches, breach castle walls
and defeat whole units of knights. The slowness of the catapult and its
weakness in a melee will not stop orcs from using such a powerful weapon,
especially since it's only goblins who end up manning the tosser. If some
of them are killed, others will take their place. And the tosser will
continue to smash the enemy.
Default Perks: Bad Wheels, Armour Piercing (Stone)
Note:
This unit's attack value against a unit that has a base strength of 15 will
be multiplied by 1.67.
Perks:

Strength... 10 Defence.... 12 Move....... 4 (Foot)
Price...... n/a Melee...... 10 Charge..... 5
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Conquest of Goblins
Description:
Ugraum Grableg is a strong and clever leader. Over time he has fought his
way to the title of chief of the clan, but he is still hungry for more
conquest. With the knowledge that orcs are invincible if they are united
under one banner, Ugraum began to assemble the Horde. The leader had enough
power and talent to turn the horde into a mighty army. The news from scouts
about a new orcish leader didn't cause much concern among the leaders of
the kingdoms. But underestimating Ugraum's power is a fatal mistake.

Price...... n/a Melee...... 5 Missile.... 7 (Range 2)
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Reconnaissance in Force
Description:
The hexer Sho-doon hasn't had much luck in life. He was born a goblin,
forced to live among giant, strong orcs who paid little attention to his
unusual talents. What's the use of dark magic and knowledge of various
poisons, if you run the risk of being killed in a simple scuffle? Sho-doon
is always on the lookout for a strong protector, someone who will defend
him so that he can continue developing his black business.

Price...... n/a Melee...... 7 Missile.... 9 (Range 2)
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
As the first hexer of the orcs, Ash-hoon can safely wander around in the
lands of any clan in Wastes. Nobody dares stand in his way. Ash-hoon is
unrivaled in his knowledge of potions and deadly spells. But perhaps more
importantly, he knows how to achieve his goals. The First hexer engages in
bribery, intimidation, and murder - any means are justifiable if they
obtain the desired result.
Default Perks: Bang Mold

Price...... n/a Melee...... 10 Charge..... 7
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Fall of Irand
Description:
The name if Besargar is known both in Werks Wastes an in the human
kingdoms. His clan has carried out many devastating raids. The leader of
Beserks is so strong and quick that very few of those who have ever
challenged him have survived. For Besarg everything is easy in life, he
respects only strength. The armor and weapons of those who tried to gain
his respect are piled up inside the sanctuary of his clan.

Strength... 10 Defence.... 10 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 410 Melee...... 8 Missile.... 13 (Range 2)
Sellback... 205 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Secret mission
Description:
Fabulous accuracy is nothing extraordinary for elven bow masters. Is it
really difficult to hit a dry blade of grass caught by a sudden gust of
wind? Certainly not! Even less so if a shooter has had several centuries of
training. Only those who engage these bow masters in melee combat will have
some chance of beating them. However, it's never easy to approach these
shooters.
Default Perks: Hunting Tradition
Perks:
Level 1: Counter Attack (Missile), Eagle Eye, Bold Archers
Level 2: Segmented Movement, Multiple Support

------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 15 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... 360 Melee...... 19
Sellback... 180 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Secret mission
Description:
Rumors of the mastery of these swordsmen abound. They are said to amuse
themselves by slicing a silk handkerchief thrown up in the air into tiny
scraps. Sadly for Quendaylon's enemies, most of what is said is true. On
the battlefield one sword master is worth several knights or battle orcs.
Aside from having an excellent command of swords, these elves are quick
runners and good pathfinders in forests.
Default Perks: None
Perks:
Level 1: Hard Drill, Force March, Forest Ambushers
Level 2: Aggressive Style, Defensive Style
Level 3: Segmented Movement, Force March, Shooting Protection: Sword Masters

------------
Strength... 10 Defence.... 24 Move....... 4 (All Terrain)
Price...... n/a Melee...... 16
Sellback... 285 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Gold victory in scenario Desperate Drive
Description:
The ancient Order of Flame Guards has protected the Great Council of Elves
since time immemorial. Each of its female warriors is distinguished by her
excellent training and good command of weapons. But this is not the main
concern for those who meet them in combat. Their magic practices enable
these female warriors to heal all types of wounds, even those that appear
to be fatal. If at least one female warrior is alive, the flame guards will
continue to heal themselves and rejoin their ranks.
Note:
The unit will automatically resurrect back to full strength at the
beginning of each turn.

Price...... 250 Melee...... 14
Sellback... 125 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Secret mission
Description:
Dwarves are people born for labor and war. Sturdy, strong and accustomed to
exhausting work in mines, dwarves are capable of turning the tide of any
battle. Their hammers flatten metal in the smithy shop and enemy helmets on
the battlefield with the same ease. No armor will withstand the strike of a
accustomed to tunneling through hard rock.
Default Perks: Hard Target, Highlander, Hill Walker
Perks:
Level 1: Mail Armour, Shooting Protection, Armour Piercing (Melee)

Price...... 360 Melee...... 16
Sellback... 180 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Unmasking
Description:
Dwarves have always considered military science to be an honorable
occupation. When militias approach each clan for their best fighters, dwarf
nobles are often the first to respond. In a bid to earn the respect of
their fellow warriors, they rush into the thick of battle. Units of dwarf
nobles strike fear into the hearts of their enemies with their array of
weapons and their tremendous power and stamina.
Default Perks: Hard Target, Highlander, Hill Walker, Dwarven Nobles

Strength... 10 Defence.... 10 Move....... 3 (Foot)
Price...... 330 Melee...... 8 Missile.... 10 (Range 2)
Sellback... 165 Sight...... 2
Campaign availability: Ofris
Description:
Crossbows designed by dwarf blacksmiths easily pierce the heavy armor worn
by their enemies. Although some joke about the terrible accuracy of dwarven
crossbowmen, the sound of a shower of steel bolts from their crossbows is
enough to make their enemies take them seriously. Any enemy that engages
them in battle is usually frustrated by their solid armor and the crushing
blow of these dwarven warriors.
Default Perks: Hard Target, Highlander, Hill Walker
Perks:
Level 1: Mail Armour, Counter Attack (Missile), Armour Piercing (Missiles)
Level 2: Slayer, Hills Archers

Price...... 540 Melee...... 8 Stone...... 10 (Range 3)
Sellback... 270 Sight...... 1
Campaign availability: Unmasking
Description:
Dwarven engineers can work wonders. It is hard to believe this huge machine
moves without magic. It is capable of throwing heavy steel shots as well as
the best catapult while its crew remains safe, protected within its robust
armor. Dwarves themselves call their creation a mobile fort, a name it
truly deserves.
Default Perks: Armour Piercing, Hard Target
Note:
This unit's attack value against a unit that has a base strength of 15 will

Price...... 600 Air Melee.. 12 Flame breath 7
Sellback... 300 Sight...... 3
Campaign availability: Breakthrough
Description:
Few elves who can speak with dragons remain, partly because the dragons
themselves are so scarce. They are majestic, smart and lethal animals, and
nothing can save the enemy from their mighty claws and teeth, and their
fire-spitting breath. Yet dragons are mortal. The last known dragons who
survive obey the commands of one female elf, Teya. Only Teya can summon
them to the battlefield.

Price...... n/a Melee...... 10 Missile.... 11
Sellback... n/a Sight...... 4
Campaign availability: Secret mission
Description:
It's no use asking the Elven sorceress Teya Essente about her age. Why
count years if you've been alive for more centuries than you can remember?
For years Teya fought in distant lands, defending the peace in the woods of
Quendaylon. Now, together with her faithful warriors, she fulfills the
special orders of the Great Council of the Elders. Teya is the last of the

Campaign availability: Secret mission
Description:
Dwarnrock is the thane of a mighty dwarf clan. Despite his small stature,
he possesses unbelievable strength. No human can lift his war hammer. Like
all underground dwarves Dwarnrock values honor and duty above all. A dwarf
never betrays a friend and never breaks a vow. And Dwarnrock expects the
same from the others who he meets. He never forgives an offence. Only a mad
person, who has no appreciation for his own life, would dare to deceive
him.

----------------
Effect:
Defence +1, Melee +2 in forest
Description:
How beautiful this forest is! The birds are singing, the leaves, which will
soon be drenched in blood, rustling in the breeze. These fighters appreciate

them in their ability to attack and defend in the thick of forest.

these knights are superior in a town battle to their secular counterparts.
Obtainable by:
Knights of Marcus (level 3), Champions of Marcus (level 3)
Lazy [PLAZ0]
----
Effect:
Move points -1

minutes.

Goblin Runners (default), Goblin Sneakers (default),
Goblin Killers (default), Goblin Stalkers (default),

Quiky Mold [QUIMO]
----------
Effect:
Defence +1
Description:
Goblins are connoisseurs of berries and molds, especially those with special
powers. Goblins also love to enrich their food with molds capable of killing
any other creature. These poisonous molds have little effect on them, though
some make them move faster and help them to evade blows during battle.

Goblin Looters (level 1), Goblin Archers (level 1),
Goblin Sharp-Eyes (level 1), Goblin Runners (level 1),
Goblin Sneakers (level 1), Goblin Killers (level 1),

Iron Things [IRTHS]
-----------
Effect:
Melee +1
Description:
Goblins rarely get any real iron weapons. Orcs do not always have enough of
those themselves. But these fighters have earned the right to wield something
better than wooden clubs and sharpened stakes. Now they have pike ends and
arrowheads made of good steel, and knives similar to orcs' stabzas!
Obtainable by:
Goblin Looters (level 2), Goblin Killers (level 2)
Enthusiastic Retreat [ENRET]
--------------------
Effect:
Move points +1 if enemy is adjecant
Description:
It's amazing how drastically a unit's speed increases if the order to retreat
is given in close proximity to the enemy. They retreat with an enthusiasm
they would probably rather show when attacking. However, there's nothing
shameful in a quick retreat from a dangerous area if it saves lives.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Looters (level 2), Goblin Runners (level 2),
Goblin Sneakers (level 2), Goblin Killers (level 2),
Goblin Stalkers (level 2)
Froggy [FRGGY]

strong enemy.

Lil Boss [LBOSS]
--------
Effect:
Willpower +10%
Negates Lazy perk
Description:
All goblins are quite lazy by nature, and they often get kicked in the ribs
by orcs because of it. But in this unit, a leader has recently appeared who
the goblins obey with no compulsion, even willingly. Their laziness has
vanished without a trace, and this has had favorable effect both on their
speed of movement and morale.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Looters (level 3), Goblin Archers (level 3), Goblin Runners (level 3),
Goblin Sneakers (level 3), Goblin Killers (level 3),
Goblin Stalkers (level 3), Goblin Sharp-Eyes (level 3)
Deathcup Beer [DBEER]
-------------
Effect:
Defence +2
Melee +4
Description:
Goblins do not mind drinking beer that has been brewed for orcs. To improve
its taste, they add the juice from extremely poisonous toadstools, which even
orcs do not dare to drink. The beer makes the goblins so strong-willed, that
they strike twice the number of blows during a battle. Somehow it does not
impair their accuracy.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Looters (level 3), Goblin Killers (level 5)
Thick Armour [THARM]
------------
Effect:
Defence +2
All attacks -1
Description:
The harder the armor, the more effective it is. Orcs learned this common
truth after many battles. They equip their vanguard units with remarkably
thick armor which is capable of resisting a fairly strong blow.
Obtainable by:
Orc Mobs (level 1), Orc Stabbers (level 1), Battle Orcs (level 3),
Orc Mights (level 3)
Fine Stabza [FINST]
-----------
Effect:
Melee +1
Description:
Do you know what the difference between a common stabza and a good stabza? A
good one will neither break from a heavy blow nor slip in one's hand from
the blood that has stuck to it. But most importantly, one can inflict such a
massive blow with a good stabza that the enemy will be knocked out
completely.
Obtainable by:
Orc Mobs (level 1), Orc Stabbers (level 1), Battle Orcs (level 1),
Mads (level 1), Orc Mights (level 1), Bad Mads (level 1),
Orcish Riders (level 2), Mighty Riders (level 2)
Orcish Beer [ORCBE]
-----------
Effect:
Willpower +20%
Immune to fear
Description:
Goblins brew beer from secret mushrooms and berries. Neither a common orc
nor a mighty hero will reject this brew, especially before a battle. This
beer warms the blood. A slight mist in their heads makes the orcs so filled
with their own importance that they will not be scared even of a stronger
enemy.
Obtainable by:
Ugraum Grableg (level 2), Orc Mobs (level 2), Orc Stabbers (level 2),
Battle Orcs (level 2), Orc Mights (level 2)
Horse Eaters [HOEAT]
------------
Effect:
Protection from charge
Description:
Constant starvation makes a mighty warrior rejoice at the prospect of a
cavalry attack. It means he does not need to hunt. Long perfected skills
enable him to dodge the charge, kill the rider and cook the horse.
Obtainable by:
Orc Mobs (level 2), Orc Stabbers (level 2), Besargar (level 2),
Wild Trolls (level 2), War Trolls (level 2), Battle Orcs (level 2),
Orc Mights (level 2), Bad Mads (level 2)
Wild Temper [WITEM]
-----------
Effect:
Defence -1
Melee +2
Description:
Orcs have never been known to have very mild tempers. In a community where
the strongest survive, ferocity is the standard response to any
transgression. Yet these warriors are very dangerous savages even according
to orc standards. They can be identified by their bloodshot eyes, frequent
jerks, and violent blows that very few can withstand.
Obtainable by:
Ugraum Grableg (level 1), Orc Mobs (level 3), Orc Stabbers (level 3),
Mads (level 3), Bad Mads (level 1)
Dirty Tricks [DTRIC]
------------
Effect:
Defence +1
Melee +1
Description:
Orcs believe generosity, a warrior's honor, and battle rules are all the
inventions of petty people afraid of being accused of playing dirty. Dirty
tricks give orcs a better chance of living to see the next day, and are
therefore always justifiable. There are averse to nothing that might give
them the edge and they make things very unpleasant for their enemies both in
attack and defence.
Obtainable by:
Orc Mobs (level 5), Orc Stabbers (level 5), Battle Orcs (level 5),
Summoned units (level 5), Mads (level 5), Orc Mights (level 5),
Bad Mads (level 5), Besargar (level 8)
War Leader [WRLED]
----------
Effect:
Melee +1 to neighbor friends
Description:
Heroes always attract the attention of their fellow warriors. The warriors
know if a true hero is watching them, and they rush to fight furiously
alongside them. Neither orcs nor goblins want to be considered cowards
or they'd be punished by the leader in their ranks - something much more
frightening than a battle against enemies.
Obtainable by:
Ugraum Grableg (default)
Big Boss [BGBOS]
--------
Effect:
Willpower +10% to neighbor friends
Negates Lazy perk
Description:
Everyone feels calmer near a big boss. Orcs are certain that their chiefs
always knows what to do. Even goblins rouse themselves when they see the
chief, and eagerly await his orders!
Obtainable by:
Ugraum Grableg (level 1), Sho-doon (level 1), Ash-hoon (level 1)
Thick Armour [THARM]
------------
Effect:
Defence +3
All attacks -1
Description:
Orcs have a simple classification system for armor, it is either thick or
hard. Hard is a lot better as it can resist even strong blows that break
through thick armor. However, not every unmounted orc can wear hard armor
due to its weight. Only the strongest chieftains can manage it.
Obtainable by:
Ugraum Grableg (level 2)
Commanding Eminence [COMEM]
-------------------
Effect:
Defence +1 and all attacks +1 in hills
Description:
The one who is taller is stronger. This truth is rooted so firmly in the
heads of these warriors that when they see any elevation they are set out to
climb it. It's not known for sure whether this always helps, but they
definitely fight better on hills.
Obtainable by:
Mads (level 1), Bad Mads (level 1), Ugraum Grableg (level 4),
Besargar (level 4)
Stolen Ralin Boots [STRBO]
------------------
Effect:
Move points +1
Description:
Orcs and goblins knew the wonderful boots humans value so much would greatly
increase their speed. So, when the chieftains were dividing up the loot after
a battle, the warriors never failed to take a couple of pairs of these
wonderful boots for themselves. The boots didn't fit, of course, but the
orcs grew accustomed to wearing them their backs. Surprisingly, their speed
increased anyway! Soon, the orcs began to run very quickly indeed.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 2), Ash-hoon (level 2), Besargar (level 6),
Ugraum Grableg (level 9)
Bark Eaters [BAREA]
-----------
Effect:
Defence +2 in forest
Description:
The forest becomes the goblins' home, eatery, and larder... It gives them
both shelter and protection. Goblins can survive in the most severe
conditions eating tree bark if necessary.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Archers (default), Goblin Runners (level 1),
Goblin Sneakers (level 1), Goblin Stalkers (level 1),
Goblin Sharp-Eyes (default)
Straight Arrows [STRAR]
---------------
Effect:
Missile +1
Description:
Goblins certainly know that a straight arrow is more likely to hit its
target. However, due to their inborn negligence and laziness they are not
always diligent when making arrows. Normally they simply accept whatever
degree of straightness they can manage to achieve the first time around. But
the fighters in this unit spend all of their spare time trying to improve
their arrows. Such diligence is uncommon among goblins, but it has tangible
benefits.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Archers (level 1), Goblin Sharp-Eyes (level 1)
Poisoned Arrows [PSNAR]
---------------
Effect:
All wounded become killed
Description:
Let big orcs engage in a hand-to-hand combat! Archers prefer anther way of
dispatching the enemy. Apply a drop of virulent venom (juice of poisonous
mold, for example) on an arrow tip and even if the enemy is only scratched
on the arm, death will come for him before the end of the battle.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Archers (level 2), Goblin Sharp-Eyes (level 2)
Bone Bows [BNBOW]
---------
Effect:
Missile +2
Melee -2
Description:
Crooked bows belonging to other goblins produce a sneer among these
veterans. In battle they use sound composite bows made of bones and leather
straps, which they either stole or made themselves. However, being confident
of their precise shooting these goblins have almost forgotten the skills of
melee fighting.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Archers (level 5), Goblin Sharp-Eyes (level 5)
Healing Mold [SHEMO]
------------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target friend, Uses per scenario: 2
Restores all wounded
All attacks -2 (lasts 1 turn)
Description:
Mold can kill, but it can also heal. The magic spores of a healing mold are
more efficient than any medical potion. In just a few moments they can make
all the wounded healthy again. The only thing that may prevent them from
rushing into the battle is mold weakness, which inflicts every healed
person.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (default)
Bang Mold [SBAMO]
---------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target enemy, Uses per scenario: 2
Battle spell, strength 7
All attacks -2 (lasts 1 turn)
Description:
A hexer who knows the secret of Bang Mold is very dangerous. He can make
mold grow under the enemy's feet on any type of surface. The mold is
instantly mature, and when it bursts, it throws clouds of toxic spores into
the air. Spores from bang mold get in the eyes, nose, under armor, and burn
the skin like small forks of flame.
Obtainable by:
Ash-hoon (default), Sho-doon (level 1)
Spittler [SPTLR]
--------
Effect:
Missile +1
Description:
People often say about the wicked, "Even his saliva is poisonous!". The irony
is that this is perfectly true for hexers. Though constant chewing of various
mushrooms and herbs hexer's saliva has become as caustic as an acid. By
spitting at his enemy during a battle a hexer can inflict wounds as if with
a weapon.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 1)
Drop of Poison [DROOP]
--------------
Effect:
All wounded become killed
Description:
A single drop of poison used by a hexer is enough to turn a scratch from his
dart into a deadly wound. As a rule the wretched wounded are finished off by
their comrades, since the poison from the spiders that live in the Wastes
causes horrible suffering.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 2)
Mad Mold [SMAMO]
--------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target friends in radius, Lasts 1 turn, Uses per scenario: 2
Melee +4
Defence -2
Description:
This potion is brewed according to a secret recipe. It is special mold,
gathered at a special time and dried out in a special way, which is then
ground up in a stone mortar vessel. Mad mold powder makes anyone who inhales
it into a berserk.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 3)
Bark Skin Mold [SBSML]
--------------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target friend, Lasts 1 turn, Uses per scenario: 2
All attacks -2
Defence +4
Description:
This mold can make your skin as robust as solid wood. Enemy blades merely
scratch this type of armor, and their arrows don't do any serious damage to
it. However, the mold weakness that remains after taking this potion prevents
creatures from attacking with the power they formerly had.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 4), Ash-hoon (level 4)
Summon Wolves [SWOLF]
-------------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target empty hex, Lasts 1 turn, Uses per scenario: 2

Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 5)
Horror [SHRRR]
------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target enemy, Lasts until rest or reqr., Uses per scenario: 2
Willpower -40%
Defence -4
All attacks -4
Description:
There is no stronger feeling in the world than the horror that takes hold of
the victims of this spell. Even the most fearless individuals are petrified
with fear. The spell produces such shock that victims cannot remember what
happened to them. Their spirit is broken, and even those who would never
give up in battle, lose the will to fight.
Obtainable by:
Ash-hoon (level 3), Sho-doon (level 6)
Gnat Swarm [SGNSW]
----------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target enemies in radius, Lasts 1 turn, Uses per scenario: 1
Defence -2
Battle spell, strength 8
Description:
Some hexer's spells are so nasty that even orcs themselves despise them. The
swarm of gnats is one of those. Obeying his squeaky call clouds of gnats
gather on nearby swamps and rivers before flying toward the hexer. These
blood-suckers can cover an immense area, biting all living creatures that
fall within. Those warriors who find themselves battling the gnats cease
defending themselves against the enemy.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 7), Ash-hoon (level 7)
Brave Hiding [BRHID]
------------
Effect:
Invisibility
Description:
An ability to hide right under the enemy's nose can save a lot of lives. Let
enemies shout about cowardice and demand fair combat as much as they want.
At war, hiding before a surprise attack against the enemy is a strong tactic
and quite fair.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 7), Goblin Sneakers (default), Goblin Stalkers (default)
Distilled Quiky Mold [DEQMO]
--------------------
Effect:
Defence +2
Description:
Goblins hexers have long been known for their knowledge of berries and fungi.
Mushrooms have the honor of ranking particularly high on their list of
favorite items. And a potion of quiky mold is considered a true delicacy to a
goblin. More importantly such potions and Elixirs serve to increase reaction
time, so that countering the quickest strike is a mere trifle for a hexer.
Obtainable by:
Sho-doon (level 8)
Determined Killers [DEKIL]
------------------
Effect:
Defence -2
Skirmish
Description:
These goblins have taken a liking to blood. After attacking their enemies,
they leave nothing but dead bodies behind them. The goblins are so fond of
killing with impunity that they often tend to attack carelessly...
Obtainable by:
Goblin Runners (level 5), Goblin Sneakers (level 5),
Goblin Stalkers (level 5)
Bad Wheels [BDWHE]
----------
Effect:
Move points -1
Description:
You can hardly see the wheels goblins use to equip their war machines
without laughing. Instead of being round, most of them are many-sized shapes
in varying smoothness. Such wheels seriously slow down the movement of
ballistae and catapults.
Obtainable by:
Spear Hurler (default), Stone Tosser (default)
Big Shields [BGSHI]
-----------
Effect:
Defence +1
Description:
A big wooden shield can provide a war machine and its crew with some extra
protection from enemy attacks. Of course, it's no remedy for cavalry attacks,
but it is quite helpful against arrows or javelins.
Obtainable by:
Spear Hurler (level 1), Stone Tosser (level 1)
Round Wheels [RNDWH]
------------
Effect:
Negate Bad Wheels perk
Description:
A round wheel rolls a lot better than any other wheel. Goblins know this
well, but they are too lazy to do everything properly. However, normal combat
experience has taught them that it's better to work for a while and make
wheels that are round before heading into battle.
Obtainable by:
Spear Hurler (level 2), Stone Tosser (level 2)
Camouflage [CMFLG]
----------
Effect:
Invisibilty
Description:
The art of disguise is not a simple art, especially if you need to conceal
a large object from the eyes of the enemy. This crew has mastered this and
now their war machine can assume the appearance of a haystack or an old
house. Now only the most sharp-eyed enemies can spot them from a distance.
Obtainable by:
Spear Hurler (level 3), Stone Tosser (level 3)
Metal Pod [MTLPD]
---------
Effect:
Defence +1
Description:

protect the bomber's crew from enemy attacks. Arrows simply bounce off and
the claws of air hunters cause no damage. Only an experienced enemy would be
able to find a breach in this defences.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Zeppelina (level 1)
Propeller [PRPLR]
---------
Effect:
Move points +1
Description:
It is still unknown what happened to the first goblin who bent his oar in
such an unusual way that he created a propeller. However, since then, goblins
have found many uses for similar propellers. They proved themselves as
wonderful substitutes for the oars used to propel zeppelins, thus greatly
improving the balloons' speed.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Zeppelina (level 2)
Balloon Armour [BLNAR]
--------------
Effect:
Defence +3
Bombardment -2
Description:
The balloon's fabric is too fragile to ensure the safety of the bomber's
crew. A couple of good hits and the balloon may fall out of the sky, after
losing all of its volatile gas. Covering the balloon with animal skin makes
it strong enough to resist both arrow impact and blows from air hunters'
claws.
Obtainable by:
Goblin Zeppelina (level 3)
Extra Payload [EXPAY]
-------------
Effect:
Move points -1
Bombardment +3
Description:

----------------
Effect:
Missile +1

hexer will be able to see everything this magic eye sees.
Obtainable by:
Ash-hoon (level 2)
Summon Boars [SBOAR]
------------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target empty hex, Lasts 1 turn, Uses per scenario: 2
Summons Shadow Boars
Description:
Although the bodies of these boars are woven from swamp fog, the way they
fight is not inferior to real boars. Phantom boars are powerful enough to
take the lives of enemies with them when they pass back into the underworld.

Ash-hoon (level 3)
Dead Bones [SDBON]
----------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target enemy, Uses per scenario: 2

---------------
Effect:
Move points +1 for neighbor friends

Ash-hoon (level 6)
Big Flask [BIFLA]
---------
Effect:
Defence -1
Charge +4
Description:
Only a hero can carry such a big flask of famous death cup beer. To enhance
the effect of this concoction hexers add fresh blood and flavor it all with
magic. After this treatment, the beer increases the power of charge attacks.
But it makes the attacker's head a little bit dizzy and decreases his
defences.
Obtainable by:

Frenzied Regeneration [FRREG]
---------------------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target self, Lasts 2 turn, Uses per scenario: 2
All attacks +3

Contagious Madness [CONMA]
------------------
Effect:
Defence -1 and Melee +2 for neighbor friends

false. All the units around this hero are influenced by his combat madness
and fight much more fiercely. Yet they tend to forget about defending
themselves.

Awfully Huge [AWHUG]
------------
Effect:
Willpower -20% and all attacks -2 for neighbor enemies

Regenerate [SREGE]

speed.
Obtainable by:
Wild Trolls (default), War Trolls (default)
Thick Hide [THHID]

blow from a weapon.
Obtainable by:
Wild Trolls (level 1), War Trolls (level 1)
Taste for Fresh Meat [TFFRM]
--------------------
Effect:
Defence -1
All attacks +2
Description:
Wild trolls are too slow to overtake their pray, therefore they often have to
be content with carrion. These trolls have realized that in a battle, though,
their prey comes to them all by itself. As the monsters have taken a liking
to fresh meat, they rush into battle as soon as they see an enemy, without
a thought to defending themselves.
Obtainable by:
Wild Trolls (level 1), War Trolls (level 1)
Wall Breaker [WLBRK]

Wild Trolls (level 2), War Trolls (level 2)
Wild Strength [WLDST]
-------------
Effect:
All attacks +1
Description:

with an awkward move of his hand. Once they realize the extent of their own
power, they become much more dangerous.
Obtainable by:
Wild Trolls (level 3), War Trolls (level 3)
Big Steps [BGSTE]

Shooting Protection: Hardhead [SPHEA]
-----------------------------
Effect:
Protection from shooters
Description:

to stop arrows with their heads, the strongest, most well-protected part of
their bodies. Their super-thick skulls are a better defence against any blow
than the most durable helmet.
Obtainable by:
Wild Trolls (level 5), War Trolls (level 5)
Pha-lansa [PHALS]
---------
Effect:
Defence +1
Description:
Orc families treasure their stories from the time of Marcus about that
terrible weapon of the old empire: the phalanx formation. Orcs are constantly
trying to employ something of the kind in battle. Of course, their phalanxes
don't at all resemble Marcus' phalanxes, yet they help during attacks. The
very desire to act together in battle allows the orcs to defend themselves
more effectively.
Obtainable by:
Battle Orcs (level 1), Orc Mights (level 1)

Claustrophobia [CLPHO]
--------------
Effect:
Defence -1 and all attacks +3 in urban
Description:
High walls, narrow streets and curved fences produce a fear of enclosed
spaces in orcs, who are accustomed to the open spaces of the steppe. Often
orcs will go mad and begin to destroy the walls surrounding them, as well as
everything in their way. Many city and village dwellers have already
witnessed a berserk suffering an attack of claustrophobia. Those who survive
such a nightmarish spectacle would likely rather not see it again.
Obtainable by:
Mads (level 2), Bad Mads (level 2)
Almost Round Shields [ROSHI]
--------------------
Effect:
Defence +1
Description:
The advantages of a round shield have been widely known for centuries. But
neither goblins nor orcs bother themselves with creating perfect circular
shapes. They believe that it's enough to have a very light shield that offer
good protection. Of course, one has to know how to use them properly.

violent attack the wounds left by these horns will not soon heal.

Bull Trails [BULLT]
-----------
Effect:
Movement cost through forest is set to 100%
Description:
For a horseman, making his way through a forest is not easy - knotty roots,
interlacing branches and deep ravines stand in his way. Yet, bull riders feel
at home in a forest. The only thing is, they need to learn to dodge trees in
time and find the shortest paths through piles of windfall.
Obtainable by:

Beast Temper [BETEM]
------------
Effect:
Defence -2
Charge +4
Description:
Which animal do hunters fear most of all? It's neither a bear with his
strength, nor a wolf with his teeth. They are most afraid of the bull, which
is violent, quick, and therefore very dangerous. Meeting even one wild bull
is dangerous. What is to be said then about meeting a dozen bulls running at
you? Then, what if a huge orc is riding on the backs of each of them? Both
are distinguished by their malicious, bestial temper.
Obtainable by:
Orcish Riders (level 5), Mighty Riders (level 5)
Hyena Mount [HYMOU]
-----------
Effect:
Defence +2 and all attacks +2 in forest
Description:
By nature, hyenas are perfectly built for running through forests. Their

Furry Boss [FUBOS]

Mounted Goblins (level 2), Goblin Raiders (level 2)
Pack Hunting [PHUNT]
------------
Effect:
Defence +2 and skirmish +1 in forest
Description:
A lonely hyena hardly poses a serious danger to an experienced enemy.
However, a pack of hyenas is quite a different thing. They can surround a
victim and attack as an organic whole. At such times, they seem to double in
number. At last, goblin riders have learned to take advantage of the hyena's
pack hunting instinct, and they can now attack twice as quickly.
Obtainable by:
Mounted Goblins (level 2), Goblin Raiders (level 2)
Soft Paws [SPAWS]
---------
Effect:
Invisibility
Description:

----------
Effect:
Type: Spell, Target self, Lasts 1 turn, Uses per scenario: 3

Defence +10
Description:
This ability inherited from their ancient ancestors is concealed in the blood
of every troll. Long ago at the dawn of time trolls used to travel only at
night becoming granite rocks during the daytime. But over time, trolls
learned to stop fearing the light and so they forgot the secret of Stone
Form. Today monsters that can turn their bodies into granite for a short
while are very rare. This art is particularly valuable in battle, as almost
nobody can injure a troll once he has turned himself into a stone colossus.

Lasher [LASHR]
------
Effect:
Move points +1
Description:
A common lash is a wonderful way to make a pteranodon fly faster. The only

manage to reach their destination are given the title of lash masters. They
know how to drive a pteranodon on with blows that do not annoy them.
Obtainable by:

| ..:: States ::.. [STTES] |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
A state temporarily modifies a units' attributes and are applied by attacks and
spells.
Normally a state disappears after one round, but sometimes the unit must rest
or recruit for a negative state to let go, which is the case with "Broken", if
it was a result of an attack.
A unit affected by a state has a slowly rotating half circle around its base
on the map view.
States appear under the health bar in the unit's characteristics window. Only
the first three states will be shown. The excess states will still be applied
to the unit, though.
It is possible for a unit to have multiple states, and if so they stack. This
means that a unit affected by Cold and Crippled gets -4 to its movement points.

| ..:: Tips & Tricks ::.. [TSNTR] |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Use the mouse scroll wheel instead of pressing the GUI's arrow buttons. Much
faster and more intuitive.
The FW Map Editor is available here
http://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/fantasy-wars/downloads
for you keep people wanting to create your own maps.
Probably one of the best foot unit is a level 5 peasant upgraded to a Yeomen.
The perks Force March, Ford Seekers, Segmented Movement and Peoples Rage
together with the Yeomen stats are nothing to sneeze at.
Computer controlled enemies does not get new perks when they level up. Sad but
true.
Segmented movement for Sky Hunters is a must. Attack + retreat and cover a
friendly unit, is a great way to let the unit pull double duty.
Pre-deployed units in a scenario are sometimes equipped with extra perks, even
though their level is 0. These units becomes stronger than a normal purchased
unit. Wings of Verison starts with a Level 0 War Eagle with Segmented
movement for example.
Ballista's are, in my humble opinion, better and more versatile than catapults
due to its +1 range which makes it easier and safer to position.
Passing "Sphere of Cold" between units crossing a river is a great way to speed
up travelling through rough terrain.
Summoned units can not conquer cities, but they can be created in one.
Don't forget to cast magic such as "Force March" for units who cannot attack
an enemy that round in order to get that extra experience. This is especially
important for the magic users as casting spells is their main way of leveling
up.
Artifact hunting can be annoying sometimes when a ranged unit is killing the
artifact holding enemy. Under these circumstances there seems to be some
confusion of who is to receive the artifact and so it is discarded.
To prevent this let a melee unit administer the killing blow. If this unit
have all its artifact slots occupied then the artifact will be placed in the
artifact chest.
Artifacts from own units killed in battle are not destroyed, but placed in the
artifact chest.
Units do not automatically rest at the end of a turn if no action (attack &
rest) has been taken, so make sure you go through your unit list before
ending your turn.
It is considered a very wise move to remove any artifacts from your hexers
after the scenario "The Fall of Verson", and perhaps also skipping the
perk/spell "Word of Death" for Ash-hoon. You did not see that twist coming,
right? Unless of course your Looking Glazz was seriously broken...
If a unit is standing near a river hex and want to cross you will get more
movement points if you first move into the river, and then cast force march,
as opposed to the other way around.
The poison perks converts any wounds from an attack to kills. Normally an
attack produces wounds + a random number of kills. This means that an attack
doing 4 wounds and 1 kill would result in 5 kills for a unit with this perk.
This is useful because the attacked unit must recruit to get back to full
strength.
The "resurrect" spells and artifacts restores a unit on the map to its full
strength - much as a recruit action, but without the experience loss.
It is not possible to resurrect a unit or hero which has been eliminated from
the map.
Recruitment lowers the experience of a unit, but will never subtract gained
levels. This means that a level 2 unit with 201 experience points, with only 1
hit point left will recruit to full strength, with 200 experience - 1
experience point lost. The experience loss for a level 1 unit with 199 exp is
much worse since it can potentially lose 99 exp after recruitment.

Easier Experience [CEXPR]
-----------------
So you think it takes an eternity to get your troops up to their maximum level?
This is easily fixed by changing a value in the "levelUp.script" file, which is
located in your FW installation directory + \Data\GameData\Scripts\.
Change the line
local newLevel = math.floor( detachment:GetExperience() / 100 );
to
local newLevel = math.floor( detachment:GetExperience() / 50 );
Now a unit will only need 50 experience points instead of a hundred to level
up.
This means that a normal level 5 unit now can get to level 10, but be aware
that the game will crash if you try to do a level up after the unit has reached
level 5, since there are no more perks to choose from.
Artifact Switching Cost [CARTC]
-----------------------
25 gold to switch an artifact during a scenario seems awfully steep, no?
Go to your FW installation directory + \Data\GameData\Scripts\ and open the
incorrectly named file "artefcats.script" in Notepad.
Change the line
local cost = 25;
to
local cost = 0;
Now you can change artifacts back and forth between units for free.
Quick-Resting [CQRST]
-------------
It is hard keeping pushing forward when your units are badly hurt and need
to rest or recruit to gain hit points and remove unwanted states, since the
units' turn is forfeited. Here is how to both rest and then move and attack.
Go to your FW installation directory + \Data\GameData\Scripts\ and open the
file "RestRecruit.script" in Notepad.
Change the line
unit:ZeroFreeActions();
to
--unit:ZeroFreeActions();
Do this change for the two occurrences in this file.
Remove Fog-of-War [CRFOW]
-----------------
Tired of being ambushed by hidden units? Want to see what the enemy is having
in store for you before they know it themselves?
Go to your FW installation directory + \Profiles\ and open the
file "Settings.xml" in Notepad.
Under the -tag add the following section:
true
The file should now look like this:
true
...
The map will from now on be free of the fog-of-war and all units are visble to
each other.
