About Battles of Norghan
Battles of Norghan is a unique gladiatorial management and strategy game where you not only must recruit, train, and equip fantasy gladiators, but also control them on a tactical grid in turn-based combat as your team fights their way to the top division. This game has a lot of depth and replayability.
Imagine a football manager game with fantasy world creatures such as orcs, drakes and minotaurs and turn-based strategy battles instead of football matches.
Recruit mercenaries from 22 different fantasy races and classes and manage dozens of fighters as they battle in a variety of different terrains against easy to highly intelligent AI or other player-controlled clans.
Train and hone each fighter’s skill through monthly training as well as directly in combat. Build secondary skills such as dodging, shield blocking and dual wielding as well as attributes such as strength, intelligence, hit points, and magic points. There are 200 items and 42 spells available to equip your gladiators, including armors, bows, weapons, magical staves, and more! As each combatant grows with your clan they will age as well and eventually retire. Careful planning and management of your clan can ensure you never have an off season.
Original release dates outside Steam: V.1.0 in August 2005. Version 1.12 in October 11 2016.

https://youtu.be/TPs5v3v9eOE Statistically dense the high amount of management is not rewarded by compelling combat.
Great little game. Took me 24 hours to get to the top of the division one. Some battles do get a little tedious. Would be nice if you could simulate battles with clans you usually wipe the floor with. All in all, great gladiator sim.
Fun loop. Strange spikes in AI difficulty, I can beat division 3 teams during the clan cup but one of the division 7 teams has a guy with legendary dodge skill (forced the sudden death lightning strike mechanic). Quickly remade my team to always have minimum of 2 people with bad luck spell, but it was a horrible early impression.
For the price, I can't recommend it.
The game's graphics and user interface, true to its age, present a nostalgic trip for veteran gamers but may seem antiquated to newcomers. This dated aesthetic, while adding a certain charm, can be a barrier to some. Battles of Norghan offers a challenging learning curve, demanding players to invest time in understanding its mechanics. However, once conquered, the game reveals a lower skill ceiling, allowing seasoned players to master its nuances without excessive complexity. However, the difficulty modes allow for the game to be a challenge no matter how skilled a player you are. The game shines in its gameplay, focusing heavily on strategic management and combat without the distraction of an overarching story. Players engage in meticulous planning, training, and equipping their gladiators, reveling in the depth of options available—from choosing races and classes to detailed skill and equipment management. The game's focus on statistics is a notable highlight, offering enthusiasts detailed insights into their team's performance. This aspect adds a layer of engagement for those who enjoy delving into data and optimizing their strategies accordingly. While it can be challengin…
This aint it chief. Controls and QoL are out of the middle ages. Combat is clunky and not engaging.
