Your hero gets a number of spell points, and once he or she runs out, no more spells may be cast.

There are more buildings on the playing field, and you can climb a tower to get a glimpse of the surrounding countryside, even of places you can’t physically reach yet. The sequel adds more hero types (necromancer, wizard) and their associated monsters (vampires, halflings). Opposing heroes vie for control of these resources.

To improve both troops and income, a hero needs to claim control of a variety of building materials scattered throughout the countryside. Casdes provide troops and the funding needed to hire them. There are six different types of heroes and castles - barbarian, sorceress, wizard, warlock, necromancer, and knight - which control different species of fantastic creatures - goblins, druids, golems, rocs, mummies, and calvary, to name just a few.
