Oh holy crap, someone who knows of this game! I loved this game back in the day. It was finicky to learn but pretty great. Thanks for the video!

You can move characters to attack the enemies. Here is how: First, set some people you are not using for building to ready from each characters army. Unassigned can work as well, but setting them to ready guarantees, that they follow orders. Then, go to the map view and click on a screen near the enemies - but not where an actual enemy is, choose a screen at least 3 screens away. This will be the screen where we rally the party and we do not want to fight until we have superior numbers. Next, you might have noticed that there is a triangle with a line underneath for each character. The triangle is also important, but mainly for realm management, so I will not talk about that, but the line below is used to move unassigned / ready units around. The way it works is that you select a screen where you want to attract units to by clicking on the line and setting how many units should move there. Each main character has its own army and own line, so if you want an army of varied classes, then set each line to attract them to the "rally screen". To explain how the line works, here is an example: lets say you have 6 fighters set to ready and you move to a screen and click the line at its halfway point. The first half of the line will turn red and 3 of the 6 fighters will begin advancing to that position. Traveling takes time, so that is why I recommended to set the rally screen at least 3 screens away from the enemy, because they can advance toward you as well. Finally once you have the numbers and a varied party (preferably fighters, clerics, mages) then select a screen with an enemy (or if you have enough people you can select their keep) and start moving your army by setting the lines to max there and removing the line from the rally location. Then the characters will begin moving towards the enemy in great numbers fighting every hostile monster on the way. So basically you attract your ready / unassigned characters to a screen and watch the auto combat.

So in the original "Dungeons and Dragons Basic Set" dwarves, elves, and halflings were all treated as classes rather than races. Halflings were fighter-thieves that could hide in heavy armor and backstab people. Elves were fighter-wizards that could wear heavy armor, use swords and spears, and cast spells. Dwarves were basically just fighters with some resists and saving throw bonuses (immune to poison). All of them were treated kind of like multi-classing characters and the XP costs to level up were significantly higher than a normal character. A far conceptual gap from what we know of D&D now.

I used to play that a lot when I was a kid! 😮
