Ambush at Sorinor
In Ambush at Sorinor six clans are at war with each other in the land of
Sorinor. Each group is hiring mercenaries to kill opposing VIPs and protect
their own. The player takes on the role of a mercenary commander, and tries to
win battles either as offensive or defensive party. The game features a
campaign, but its missions can also be selected individually.
Before the fight, players hire mercenaries (which consist of fantasy
characters like orcs, dwarves and goblins or humorous races like defense
lawyers), which all have different statistics and special abilities. They cost
money and the budget has to be met. Those are divided into groups, placed on
the map and then the fight can begin.
The battles take place in real time and players can issue various commands,
e.g. waiting, ambushing or attacking enemy mercenaries – but only on the
groups, not individual units. However, the group constellations can be changed
during battle. The action can be paused at any time to analyze the situation
and issue commands. Also featured are a map and a scenario editor.
