Dragonshard
is a real-time strategy experience based in the mystical world of
Eberron, the acclaimed new Dungeons & Dragons realm. Within
this wholly imaginative setting lives an inventive gameplay fusion:
dramatic RTS play is affected by the risks and rewards of a thrilling
RPG-styled underworld.
As players direct
troops over the land, they also plunge smaller, hero-led parties
below ground to an RPG-modeled world of beasts, battles, and bounty.
Experience and items gained in this underworld result in great powers
and abilities above ground.
Using magic,
weaponry, and skilled maneuvers, players command armies from varying
races to control, protect--or destroy--the powerful Heart of Siberys.
Obtaining this omnipotent artifact will unleash its full forces,
good or evil, upon the entire world.

game design with two levels of interconnected action: dramatic
RTS war above ground and critical RPG-styled battles in dungeons
below
- Four ranges
of controllable units: powerful champions, heroic captains, trainable
henchmen, and nearly unstoppable battlefield juggernauts
- Unit development
based on 'Experience Points', allowing players to "level
up" units--an added RPG twist to the classic RTS gameplay
structure
- An innovative
village grid system--the "Nexus System"--where choice
and placement of buildings can specifically affect units’
powers

head-to-head multiplayer modes
- Three warring
factions (in multiplayer modes), each with its own history, campaigns,
unique strengths... and weaknesses

by Eberron creator Keith Baker

unit movements
