About Bellfortis
Bellfortis is a "grand strategy" game from the early Middle Ages.
Expand your kingdom, use politics and power. Play as a grand strategy on a large map or engage in local conflicts on small maps, build, recruit armies and fight! Alternate strategic planning on the map with real-time battles between armies.
Choose one side, stabilize your country, subjugate the surrounding rulers and build a strong and successful empire in this history inspired strategy game from the wild times of the early Middle Ages, when the first European kingdoms were trying to strengthen their power and resist the raids of savage tribes from the east and north. How you achieve this is up to you - destroy your enemies by force or by clever politics and help those in need to win friends who will support you and will be devoted to you.
Bellfortis combines a tactical turn-based map with realtime action combat.
Unlike the grand strategies, Bellfortis is faster and more intense, but retains strategic depth. This mid-core gameplay will be welcomed by those strategy lovers who, like the author - a father of a family himself :), don't always have that much time for their beloved AAA titles.
Game features:
- Select one of 7 campaigns, from local conflicts to a large map of Europe with more than 15 factions.
- Transform yourself into a powerful ruler, play the game as a grand strategy, build provinces, recruit strong armies, conquer territories by force or clever politics.
- Use diplomats to improve relations, gain allies or even entire kingdoms. Spies, in turn, can help you gain information or even weaken the enemy.
- Take on opponents who make strategic decisions based on individual behavior. Some will be peaceful and focus on the betterment of their empire, others will act like dangerous conquerors.
- The world is affected by dozens of random events, some of which may have a positive effect on you, others negative. You can ignore them or use them to your advantage. Although ignoring the plague is probably not a good solution.. ;)
- Unlock new military units by constructing important military buildings in your provinces. Recruit them into your armies and use them in devastating battles.
- You culminate your efforts by winning real-time battles, where your armies clash with the enemy's in the heat of battle on the battlefield. Choose clever tactics or simply send your troops on the offensive.
- If you're defending, use defensive objects received from research. What will barrels full of oil and your incendiary arrows do to enemy soldiers? Experiment! :)
About Bellfortis - The Battle for Japan
This DLC takes us to 16th-century Japan, when bloody battles for power were at their peak. Choose one of the most powerful clans and try to subjugate the entire Japanese islands and unify the country. In addition to the most powerful Japanese clans, you will also encounter the Joseon Empire and the Ming Dynasty, which are fighting on the nearby mainland.
On two maps, you can choose one of up to 10 factions and try to conquer Japan by force or politics. Unlike the medieval units in the base game, here you will also encounter the most modern soldiers of the time with firearms and the precursors of rockets.
