Warlord Ascendant 2e

In the war-torn expanse known as No Man’s Land, where the century-long conflict between great kingdoms has left only ruin and opportunity, a new power is set to rise: you! Warlord Ascendant 2e is a solo skirmish wargame of conquest and exploration, where you command a small warband of mercenaries, desperate peasants, or zealous inquisitors fighting for survival and power. Your goal is to extend your influence, grow your forces, and carve out a domain in this brutal, low-fantasy world. Will you become just another casualty of the Hundred Years War, or will you rise to become the rulers of your own petty kingdom?

Warlord Ascendant 2e features:
A Narrative Skirmish Wargame: Designed from the ground up for solo and co-op play, Warlord Ascendant focuses on emergent storytelling and character development over competitive play. Every battle shapes the organic narrative of your warband’s struggle.
The Momentum Engine: The game is powered by Blackoath Entertainment’s Momentum Engine, a flexible D100, skill-based ruleset. With unique mechanics to enhance the gameplay experience and streamlined combat, Warlord Ascendant feels fresher than ever.
Create Your Warband: Choose from a wide variety of factions, each with unique units, abilities, and playstyles. Lead the fanatical Inquisitorial Retinue, the savage Akelian Wardancers, a desperate band of Commoners, a disciplined company of Pavarian soldiers, a horrifying Demonic Cohort, or a shambling horde of the Risen, among others.
Deep Campaign System: Your fight extends beyond the battlefield. Explore and conquer the randomly generated hex-based map of No Man’s Land, capture strategic locations, and manage your resources. Build and upgrade a mighty stronghold or rule over captured settlements to fund your campaign.
Character Progression: Watch your warriors grow from green recruits into hardened veterans. Characters earn experience from battle, allowing them to level up, improve their skills, and learn dozens of new Combat Maneuvers and passive Feats to customize their role on the battlefield. The extensive gear list allows you to truly narrow down your characters’ builds and create a Warband tailored to your preferences.
Extensive Toolkit: The book is packed with everything you need to generate rich tales of survival, including rules for a host of monstrous threats, extensive gear and loot tables, unique magical artifacts, and a crafting system for Masterwork equipment that offers unique gear traits.
* Flexible Ways to Play: While designed for solo play, rules are included for co-operative campaigns and head-to-head versus battles. For a different experience, try the Lone Wolf mode and play as a single, exceptionally powerful hero carving their own path through the chaos.
