Overview
A comprehensive guide of the historical battles and campaigns playable with Field of Glory II and DLCs (october 2018; updated may 2019 with Wolves at the Gate DLC)
Foreword
– New Quick Battles added with DLCs are a combination of factions/period
– The Fields of Glory II Campaign can be playable with any of the 186 army lists, DLCs provided.
– There are more Army Lists than factions, based on the rules made by the Wargames Research Group
– I’ll be grateful for any correction or suggestion.
– Thanks to Byzantine Games and Slitherine for such a gem of game. And thanks to the people of the Wargames Research Group for his contribution to the science and joy of wargaming.
– There’s an astounding number of user created battles and campaigns, ever mods adding army lists and factions not present yet in the original game. They can be downloaded directly in-game. The link to the full list of them is at the end of the guide. My most heartly THANKS to all the talented aficionados who are creating all this additional content and share with the community
