The biggest update yet: the Shadow General has come. A WAR WITH A FACE • Every battle now has a target you can see: the enemy commander's HP. Captures, checks and combos deal damage — bring him to zero, or checkmate him for a dramatic finishing blow. • Each battle is led by a named enemy general, while the Shadow General watches from behind the brazier — until the final battle, when he takes the field himself, with Iron Will and Rally the Fallen. • See exactly how much damage a move will deal before you play it. NEW HERE? START WITH PRACTICE • A guided practice battle walks you through your first fight, step by step. PROGRESSION THAT LASTS • Commander ranks: every campaign you fight, won or lost, earns XP — promotions unlock new spirits, stratagems and upgrades. • Mastery of Arms: master each piece type to unlock new upgrades and its legendary artifacts. • Art of War Codex: discover every upgrade, spirit, stratagem, encounter and boss. • Win streaks, a Daily Campaign, and milestone moments to celebrate. • Seven war-table themes (six to unlock), each with its own ambience and music. • The Hall of Fallen Heroes now ranks the worthy into tiers. DEEPER BATTLES • Legendary artifacts reworked and far more powerful. • Bigger stratagems, bolder spirits, and the Four Symbols set. • Forced March: spend gold for extra moves. • Reworked bosses (Twin Generals, The Flood, Tax Collector) and fairer checks on both sides. • More moves per battle and a full balance pass. LOOKS, SOUND & FEEL • New battle effects: stratagem stamps, chain captures, spirit animations and finishing blows. • Music with full arrangements that build with the battle. • A new camp menu to pause, return to the war table, or abandon a campaign. • Touch-friendly tooltips, full-screen iPhone support, and many fixes.
