Victory Conditions

• Special Rules: In every game, check whether specific mission objectives or scenario-based rules exist, which could prescribe additional victory conditions.

Strategic Nuances

• Troop Composition: A balanced composition of units is essential. Are you balancing between ranged fighters, melee fighters, and support spell-casters?

Chronopia encourages both tactical thinking and adaptability as players must react not only to their own moves but also to those of their opponents. Enjoy the game!
