Press release:
Magdeburg, Germany (February 21, 2019) — Developer Pathos Interactive and publisher 2tainment GmbH today launched their Real-Time Strategy (RTS) title “Bannermen” on PC via Steam.

Bannermen is a medieval fantasy game mixing classic RTS elements including resource-gathering, base building, and unit recruitment, with powerful environmental spells that devastate the enemy while reshaping the world.

These spells summon lightning strikes, tornadoes, volcanic explosion, and additional nature-based effects which can turn the tide of battle!

“We are excited for the launch of Bannermen and can’t wait for players to try out Pathos’ modernized take on the classic RTS formula” said Alexander Wagner, Product Manager at 2tainment GmbH.

“The environmental magic, combined with the game’s rich characters and story, will certainly entertain fans of the genre and those new to Real-Time Strategy.”

Bannermen takes place in the realm of Valtoria, a low-fantasy medieval world ravaged by decades of war, starvation, and natural disasters.

Players take on the role of Lord Berrian, who is trying to recapture his kingdom’s former glory, finding and rallying bannermen to battle against a host of tribes and the dark Lord Karthor.

By utilizing nature powers — a core feature of Bannermen — players can leverage natural phenomena such as lightning strikes to electrocute armies, take advantage of dust storms that limit vision to sneak past enemies, and much more.

With a fully story-driven campaign, each mission contains varied gameplay and challenges designed to push the narrative forward. Bannermen also provides online multiplayer modes with matchmaking and ladders.
