Characters are moved along a grid where there movement has certain unit-specific limitations. Strategy plays a large role in the game, especially since if characters die - they can't be brought back. This provides a certain incentive for gamers to repeatedly play levels so they don't lose characters. |
New additions to the game are the ability to choose alternate unit upgrades. Every unit, save for the two Lords, can choose one of two different units to upgrade to upon finding the necessary item. Another addition is the Tier 1 Units, such as the 'Journeyman' who can choose one of two Tier 2 classes, then later a Tier 3 class which gives these characters a larger variety of paths to choose than in previous games. | New additions to the game are the ability to choose alternate unit upgrades.
