Posts from A guide to various aspects of the Age of Heroes game.

The game takes the player to the legendary era of the rise of the human world. Legends of those times still live on in tales and myths. And although only humans remain in our world, we must not forget that things were different back then. It was a time of brave heroes and legends, great wizards and cunning orcs, hardworking dwarves and wise elves. The Age of Heroes series tells of the great events of that time, of the heroes and feats they accomplished. You will learn about the fate of other races and the loss of magic, about the battle for land and power, about the courage and valor of not only human heroes.

The Age of Heroes series is a combination of two popular genres: RPG and turn-based strategy. All battles in the game take place in turn-based mode, while the hero's movement on the map and interaction are more related to the RPG genre. Age of Heroes will delight its fans with a large number of possibilities. Despite its small size, which is necessary to maintain stable operation on modern mobile phones, the game is full of magic and artifacts, all sorts of creatures and dialogues, the game has a coherent plot, and the map has a size of more than 9680 cells, which is almost 152 screens for phones with a 128x128 screen. The map features a variety of landscapes and many different buildings. Each series features at least two races, and throughout several series you will meet all the races of the Age of Heroes world.

The game engine is planned to be improved with the development of each new series of the game. Both the logical and graphical parts will be improved, and with each new version, new creatures, heroes, magic, and artifacts will appear.

The game developers hope for the support of the game's fans and are ready to consider all suggestions for improvement, implementing the best of them in future games.

Each series of the game has its own completed plot, which is nevertheless part of the overall storyline of the series. The first game, "Age of Heroes: Army of Darkness," tells of a mysterious artifact, the undead, and a hero who must stop them.

Army of Darkness

The action of the game unfolds in one of the outlying kingdoms of the human world; it is not the most populated or popular place, but it is exactly here that the events occurred from which our legend should begin. Here, the Knight Valigor found a strange artifact allowing him to resurrect the dead; here he used it for the first time and, falling under the influence of the forces of darkness, began to drift further and further from the light, eventually turning into a creature of darkness. The main hero is unaware of Valigor's fate but hears the pleas of peasants for help. The dead have risen from their graves; they are raiding villages and killing people. The hero's task is to save the people and find the primary culprit behind these events. He must assemble an invincible army and lead it against the creatures of darkness.

The game's heroes are characters encountered in the Age of Heroes series. Heroes represent a vital part of the game system; depending on the hero, the rules of the game or the opportunities available to the player may change.

For example, some heroes cannot cast spells themselves but can use magic scrolls to achieve their goals; such heroes do not need mana, as each scroll contains a sufficient amount of power. However, scrolls can be used a limited number of times, and most only once. Others can cast spells on their own; it is enough for them to learn a spell so that the mage can later use it an unlimited number of times, but such heroes are limited by the amount of mana, which regenerates very slowly. A third group has no magical abilities at all, but strength and tactics make them equally dangerous opponents. Different heroes affect the creatures in their army differently, and accumulated experience also impacts them in various ways.

All items in the game can be divided into quest items and artifacts. The former are used in quests; it may be necessary to find them to receive a reward or permission to pass through a guarded area on the map. Artifacts are a more interesting type of item, as they can influence various parameters of the hero or their creatures. For example, an artifact can increase attack and defense, increase maximum mana, or enhance the power of magic; some artifacts contain spells of immense power that can only be used by a mage possessing such an artifact. Obtaining a powerful artifact is not easy—sometimes one must engage in grueling battles or embark on a long journey—but the result can exceed all expectations.

Magic in the world of Age of Heroes can manifest in various forms: these can be magical scrolls found in different parts of the map, or the ability of one of the characters, who can share knowledge with mages. In addition, some creatures, while part of a hero's army, can also use magic.

Magic can be constructive and destructive, and can also relate to the elements of fire, water, wind, and earth. By using constructive magic, you can heal and resurrect creatures, and create obstacles in the enemy's path. Destructive magic inflicts various types of damage on the enemy. Some creatures may have immunity to magic or certain types of it.

Battles in the game are turn-based; the player and the opponent take turns moving. During each turn, a single creature can be moved a certain number of cells and a magic scroll can be used. If the hero is a mage, they can cast only one spell at the beginning of each attack. An attack is considered complete when each of the hero's creatures has made its move.

Creatures have specific parameters that influence the course of the battle. Each creature has the following parameters:

Quantity - Number of creatures
Health - The amount of health points a creature has
Attack - Amount of health points removed during an attack
Defense - The level of protection a creature possesses
Steps - The distance a creature can move
Shooting - The creature's ability to deal damage from a distance
Flight - The creature's ability to overcome obstacles by air
Magic - The ability to use magic

Quests are tasks that various characters give to the hero. There are mandatory quests, without completing which the player will not be able to finish the game, and optional quests that offer the player a reward or experience points. The more quests the hero completes, the more experience and knowledge he gains, and the better his chances of completing the game.
