About Ambush at Sorinor

Ambush at Sorinor is a real-time strategy game set in a fantasy conflict where six clans hire mercenary forces. The player acts as a mercenary commander, managing budgets to recruit units with varied statistics and special abilities before combat.

Battles involve offensive and defensive objectives focused on eliminating or protecting key targets. Players control groups of units, not individuals, issuing commands for actions like ambushes or attacks, with the ability to reconfigure groups during the fight. The real-time action can be paused for tactical assessment and order issuance.

Missions can be played through a campaign or selected individually. The game includes fantasy and humorous unit types, such as orcs, dwarves, and defense lawyers. Additional tools provided are a map and a scenario editor for custom content creation.
