Gameplay Steve
Gameplay focuses on capturing nodes -- castles, towns, and goldmines -- with characters. Emphasis is placed on the rock-paper-scissors mechanics of "underhanded" characters rather than the brute force combat strength of traditional realtime strategy games. The goal of the game is to win the Iron Throne and doing so can be done by amassing enough 'prestige' within the game.Each house will have special units and abilities. House Stark will have direwolves, and House Baratheon will have better archers for example.
