About Fantasy General II
Fantasy General II returns to the war‑torn continent of Aer three centuries after the Shadow Wars. As the heir of Falir One‑Eye you lead a Highland clan through a turn‑based campaign, shaping armies, training recruits and confronting foes ranging from barbarian berserkers to Imperial dragon cannons.
The title offers single‑player and multiplayer modes, a level editor and Steam integration such as achievements, trading cards and cloud saves. Over 75 unit types, terrain effects, morale and magical artefacts all influence each battle, while costly victories can erase hard‑earned experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Battles
All combat is resolved in turn‑based encounters. Before issuing orders you must weigh terrain, weapons, armour, magical effects and morale, as the description notes these factors shape outcomes.
Each battle contributes to unit progression; experienced recruits can become champions, yet losing seasoned troops removes that progress, making the decision to press an advantage a strategic risk.
- Review terrain bonuses before moving units.
- Consider preserving veteran troops to keep their experience.

Unit Variety
The game lists a wide roster: axemen, berserkers, spearmaidens, trolls, shamans, longbowmen, centaurs and more, totaling over 75 distinct unit types, each with its own abilities and equipment options.
Units may be equipped with magic artefacts discovered during battle and can be upgraded using gold and resources plundered from enemies, allowing customization of their combat role.
- Mix unit types to cover different combat roles.
- Upgrade units with artefacts that match their strengths.

Campaign Decision‑Making
Between battles you make strategic choices that affect army development and resource acquisition. Training young clan members and plundering gold from foes fund upgrades and artefact purchases.
These decisions also influence the narrative, as the clan seeks to prove its worth to the Council and honor Falir One‑Eye’s legacy.
- Invest early in training to build stronger units later.
- Balance spending between upgrades and new recruitment.

World Battlefields
Battles occur across diverse regions of Aer, from the cold highlands of Fareach to the fertile Borderlands, the swamp‑filled Sunken Land and the temperate Empire, each presenting distinct terrain and enemy types.
Adapting tactics to each locale is essential; the description emphasizes that variable tactics and army composition are required for success.
- Scout enemy composition before committing forces.
- Adjust unit mix to suit the terrain of the current battlefield.

An included level editor lets players design custom maps, extending replayability and enabling community sharing.
