Dawn of Fantasy: Kingdom Wars is a 3D MMORTS/RPG set in Medieval times, immersing players in an intense story of a battle for supremacy in the magical realm of Mythador that include Dragons, Elves and Orcs.

Set in the massively multiplayer fantasy world of Mythador which supports its own living economic, trading, development and diplomacy systems, players will be given the opportunity to leave their mark on the land’s already war torn history when Dawn of Fantasy is launched.

Offering a fresh perspective on the fantasy RTS genre, Dawn of Fantasy will deliver a persistent world war  experience like none before.Thousands of Players living, building, exploring and fighting together to crush with AI controlled strongholds and empires,  in a rich tapestry of story-driven encounters that help to build upon the already weighty single player campaign experience. In a world that continues to trade and evolve even after logging off, Players will also be able to test their armies’ constitution in matched head-to-head, multiplayerencounters on their road to becoming the biggest city-state in Mythador.

Each of the three different races available to players – elves, men and orcs – offer a radically different playing style based on a carefully balanced system of strengths and weaknesses. With an in-game narrative driven by a dramatic historical background, Dawn of Fantasy will combine rich storytelling with compelling gameplay to provide a strategy experience to appeal to MMO and RTS fans alike.

Designed with low system requirements in mind, the Dawn of Fantasy engine will nonetheless render armies of thousands of units and hundreds of terrain objects on screen for epic battle encounters. Once the dust settles on the in game campaigns, players can try exploring their creative side by using the powerful map editor to design the fantasy encounters of their dreams.

All Dawn of Fantasy pre-orders carry a bonus of 70 Influence points. Influence points are a very important resource. It has the role of in-game currency, granting players the chance to use Influence to buy resources such as wood/gold/food/stone or special units, improve the building rate to reduce your building time. (Influence is more commonly earned through quests in the game.)

Reverie are also offering players still in beta the chance to to use the powerful Dawn of Fantasy editor; this will ship with the game on launch and features an intuitive interface and a number of new tools.

The Dawn of Fantasy Scenario Design Editor revolutionizes the design process. This editor enables designers to create their own lush environments and put their imaginations to the test with the ability to craft fully usable custom walls, stairs, bridges, and towers using the advanced rotation and hover tools in combination with the editable walk meshes. You can also design free-flowing waterfalls and erupting volcanoes, to contrive fully-customizable particle effects, blend layered terrain paints, and create and save templates that can be loaded into any map.
