Exploration and quests take place on the world map and not every secret can be uncovered without making use of the flexible camera. It pays off to stop once in a while to look behind a rock or a tree. When you run into an enemy the game changes to the combat screen. Enter another novelty: the battlefield looks similar to a chess board. Hex fields have been replaced with squares, to increase the conflict potential - a hex field has 6 sides, a square is surrounded by 4 sides and 4 corners. To speed things up the battlefield size scales with the amount of troops. Combat is still turn-based with an automatic combat option.
