Soldiers cannot be ordered individually; they automatically follow their captain, which allows for large armies to be created with less micromanagement than in typical RTS games.

I fully admit that Ive read eight books in the entire Drizzt series, and that this kind of novel is just the thing I need to curl up with sometimes.

But the sad truth is that it is books like this one that, in my opinion, sometimes give fantasy a bad name.

Contents Gameplay Dragonshard combines aspects of (RTS), and (RPGs).

Games take place on dual level maps divided into the surface world of Eberron, and the underground realm of Khyber.

Units travel between the surface, and the underground through gateways that are fixed on each map.

The surface map features traditional RTS gameplay: the player builds and develops base structures, gathers resources, and amasses, and upgrades an army.

Unlike most real-time strategy games, all units are available at the beginning of the game, rather than having prerequisites to allow their construction.

There are three player-controllable factions in the game: the Order of the Flame, the Lizardfolk, and the Umbragen.

Armies consist of the following unit types: Champions: the games hero unit.

In campaign mode, the player chooses a champion before starting a map.

In skirmish, and multiplayer modes, the player summons a champion from the city headquarters.

Juggernauts: powerful, expensive units summoned from the city headquarters.

Each race has a unique juggernaut unit, and only one may be summoned at a time; however, they cannot venture into the underworld.

Captains: upgradeable units trained from unit-producing structures.

As they gain levels, they get new abilities, and also gain a squad of subordinate soldiers, up to a maximum of four soldiers at level five.

Soldiers: support troops that are automatically trained by captains when in the vicinity of one of the players bases.
