How to play Battlemaster online

Getting started with Battlemaster means selecting a scenario from the main menu. You command a party of heroes or mercenaries on a grid-based battlefield. The objective is to defeat all enemy units or capture key points.

Movement is turn-based: each unit has a set number of action points for moving and attacking. Pay attention to terrain, as it affects movement and combat. The interface uses menus for commands like attack, defend, or use items.

New players should start with the tutorial (if available) or the first campaign to learn unit types and strengths. Managing resources like gold and healing between battles is crucial. The game rewards careful positioning and patience over rushing.
