THE GAME

Plan the army.
Then earn the victory.

Warriors positioned across an in-game battlefield01 / MOVEMENT

Freedom beyond the grid.

Position your warriors on continuous battlefields. Find clear approaches, move around obstacles, and use terrain to shape the fight. Where you stand matters as much as what you bring.

Grim War tactical combat in action02 / COMBAT

Every action has a purpose.

Each character receives two action points on its turn. Move, attack, or spend Spirit on special abilities. Most warriors can make one attack or use one ability per turn, leaving room to reposition. Specialist units have their own exceptions.

Shield bashes, charges, stealth, spells, and resurrection open different tactical possibilities. Keep warriors inside friendly controlled shrines to recover Spirit.

Your faction. Your warband.

Choose Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs, Undead, or Wildborne. Select your leader and build a warband around your chosen faction. Experiment with frontline fighters, ranged threats, spellcasters, and support characters.

Save your armies, test them against the AI, and refine your plan after each battle.

THE PEOPLES OF REFUGE

ANTIOLL

The Humans of Antioll

Created by Antiokk, the Humans live among white marble towers and golden sanctuaries, surrounded by the wheat fields of Antioll. Faith and duty bind their people together.

On the battlefield

Build around knights, spearmen, archers, and spellcasters. Combine a fighting line with supporting magic, or put the Human Wizard's Polymorph to work disrupting an enemy's turn.

Choose a faction, select your leader, and build your own warband.

Explore the battlefields of Refuge. Select a map to study its terrain before the armies arrive.
