Battles

In Rise, Your aim is to kill all your opponent’s units. You and your opponent take your turns at the same time; each turn, you can give each of your units an order. To move, select a unit then right-click one of the highlighted hexes to order them to move there. When enemies are in range, left-click an enemy to order a selected unit to attack them. You have two minutes to issue your orders each turn; when you are finished, click ‘Send Orders’.

Once both players have pressed ‘Send Orders’ (or 2 minutes is up), you will see the armies act out their orders. Units near their Generals act first. If units are equal distance from their General, the faster unit acts first (Knights then Longbowmen, Crossbowmen, Axemen and finally Swordsmen).

Be sure to protect your General because if he dies, your army is demoralized and every unit loses 1 hit point (unless this would kill them). Equally, do everything you can to kill your opponent’s General because the same applies to them!
