What's more, you can earn yourself extra points by completing one of several pre-selected 'Boasts' before the match begins (complete your objective in five turns, for instance). The latter is a good old fashioned dungeon crawl, and it's one of the most intriguing ideas being introduced by the game.ĭelve missions are inspired by the main storyline of Skyrim, but they also feature additional side-quests, randomised events, loot drops, and other modifiers to give you a unique experience each time you play. Beside traditional versus, there are also connected campaign missions and single-player 'Delves'. In fact, there are a couple of modes at play here. Modiphius were keen to emphasise the term 'narrative wargaming' during my visit to its London office, and that's not baseless hype. All the same, Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms isn't limited to skirmishes between armies. Armies of models cross swords on a miniature battlefield, and you can paint them in any way you choose. Yes, those who've tried Games Workshop's offerings in the past will feel right at home here. What's more, this differentiates it from other tabletop mainstays like Warhammer or Warhammer 40K. That unpredictable nature helps Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms emulate the franchise's famous sandbox gameplay. In a similar vein, 'narrative events' alter the flow of battle to keep you on your toes.
The culprits in this case are Draughr, Skyrim's Norse-inspired zombies who hang out in barrows and cause mischief for anyone plundering them. While you can go head-to-head with a friend, the interesting wrinkle is a third, AI-controlled squad that's basically there to wreck your sh**. That means the Imperial army, Stormcloak rebels, rotting undead, and heroes like the Dragonborn or Lydia are yours to command (even in miniature form, she's sworn to carry your burdens). A successor to Modiphius' Fallout: Wasteland Warfare game, you'll take command of warriors stuck in the middle of Skyrim's civil war. Our wait for The Elder Scrolls 6 grinds on with no end in sight, so Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms aims to fill that adventure-shaped void.
