Being on the PC you will finally be able to see your army march upon the battlefield, hear your heroes issue commands, and watch the animated brutality of clashing swords and shields.

In Mark of War, players take turns commanding their troops across the battlefield until the enemy is defeated or the mission objective achieved.  During a turn you’ll strategically move and position units, claim and defend objectives, pick targets for your archers and war machines to fire upon, cast powerful wizard spells, charge into combat, and battle against enemy heroes!

Coming in August 25, the Mark of War Kickstarter will allow fans of tabletop games and turn-based strategy games not only to make this project a reality, but to get in from the start to help develop and steer this groundbreaking game.

• Tournaments – Tournaments will range from locally hosted events to grand tournaments, regionals, nationals and even annually held world finals with a host of rewards and prizes.  Players will be able to form teams, create their own custom logos and have their games and profiles featured on the front page of Mark of War for everyone to see.
• Barracks – When players wish to view their collection, build armies, or customize their troops they will do so within the Barracks.  Players will also be able to create and save multiple armies, and view their past achievements.
• Mercenary – A unique mode where players are challenged to create ad hoc armies from a random selection of troops, spells, and magic items and then battle against other players for rewards.  The more wins a player can rack up the bigger the rewards, but three losses and you’re eliminated.
