Leading a rebellion against the Zeteginian Empire means arranging an army before directing its squads across real time campaign maps. Battles largely resolve through your formations and targeting choices, so preparation carries more weight than individual attack commands.

A class can behave differently in the front and back rows, making monsters, healers, and fighters useful in unexpected combinations. Liberating towns affects the rebellion's reputation, while alignment links battlefield behavior to character development and the campaign's direction. Tarot cards supply dramatic interventions when a meeting goes badly. Its particular fascination comes from discovering that winning territory and becoming a worthy liberator are related, sometimes conflicting tasks.
