A New Chapter in Wartales: The Skelmar Invasion

Wartales - Expansion: The Skelmar Invasion brings players back to the captivating world of Ormance, now facing the largest invasion in its history. Under the leadership of the cruel High Jarl Sven, the Skelmar clans have united with one goal: to plunder Edoran's riches and fertile lands. Your mission is to rescue the fallen county's Countess, rally the remaining defenders, and reclaim each barony from the clutches of despair and destruction.

Engage in Tactical Warfare Across Ruins

Every corner of Ormance is scarred by war, presenting a battlefield filled with opportunities and challenges. Each barony is overrun, with the Skelmar forces having fortified strongholds and left other locations in ruins. Your strategy will involve liberating these areas, targeting the enemy strongholds to restore life and functionality to the land. As you fight, you will uncover allies hidden in the chaos, eager to join your cause.

Strategic Resource Management to Build Resistance

To reclaim Ormance, managing three essential resources becomes critical. Manpower is needed to enlist local combatants, construction materials are vital for rebuilding strongholds, and supplies keep your forces equipped and nourished. Allocate your resources wisely, as each liberated area will enhance your War Effort and provide opportunities for further recruitment and resource generation.

Intricate Stronghold Sieges with High Stakes

Sieges in Wartales are not just battles; they are multi-phase events. Outside each stronghold, your forces will engage the Skelmar defenders, hoping to breach defenses and create an opening for your troops. Once the door falls, the real challenge begins—navigate the interior, confront enemy forces, and eliminate their leader to claim victory. Remaining vigilant against enemy WatchTowers is essential, as they can turn the tide of battle with raining arrows.

Restore Order Through Liberation and Rebuilding

Each liberated barony can flourish once you drive out the Skelmars, allowing you to rebuild vital infrastructure. Reconstructing destroyed locations not only restores functionality, but it also strengthens your war effort against the mounting invaders. Allies will rally to your side, recognizing your efforts in restoring hope to the devastated land, filling the ranks of your growing resistance.

Recruit Local Factions for Diverse Benefits

In liberated territories, local factions will emerge to bolster your cause. These factions can provide crucial military support, increased resource production, or unique advantages that assist in the larger battle against the Skelmars. Selecting allies wisely will be pivotal, transforming the tide of war in your favor and ensuring a robust defense for your newly reclaimed baronies.
