Battles in Kaladorn involve hundreds of soldiers, terrain, hero skills and morale. Working all of that out with tables and dice would stop the game for half an hour, so a companion app does it instead.
How it works
You enter your hero, the opponent and the map tile you are fighting on. The app weighs every unit’s attack, defence, speed and range, the terrain, each hero’s strength and how likely troops are to panic and flee.
You get the winner, the exact units to remove from your board, experience, fame and loot, and a short saga of how it happened.
