Lego Battles - Gameplay

Gameplay

Seven types of unit are available for use by the player to aid them in their overall objective.

Builders-the most essential of all units but also the most vulnerable, builders gather resources and build buildings. He is weak at fighting but essential if one is to attain victory in most levels.

Hero- The next most important unit is the Hero- a powerful unit, no matter who he or she is. They have the ability to cast powers using their power points, and these powers have a wide range of effects, from Forest Growth to ESP to Earthquake to Fireball to Lightning, a Hero is the centerpiece of any army. Each Hero has different abilities and stats and heals nearby units and can speed up the construction of units from barracks and special factories. If they are killed, they can be rebuilt at the Fortress building.

Infantrymen- units who have a hand attack and are slower than knights. They are often the first military units available in any one game, and should be the backbone of a conventional army, but an army of infantrymen will fall to an army of infantrymen and archers.

Ranged- units who possess ranged attacks, albeit slightly weaker than the average infantryman. They won't win battles on their own, but can destroy enemy units in order for your stronger forces to move in and destroy the enemy's base.

Mounted- The powerful force in your army, they are strong and fast but expensive. They can hold their own in a fight against most other units, and an army of Knights can be a deadly foe if not countered properly. Towers are strong at defeating them, but an army of knights can rush in and destroy a tower, then be healed by the hero, and return to wreak havoc!

Transports- Used to move units across water or acid, transports are useful on some maps and entirely useless on others.Bridges can be used in their place, but transports can take units from any point to any other- bridges are set in one place and can be guarded. Used wisely, Transports can mean the difference between victory or defeat.

Specials- These are your most powerful units besides the Hero. Some can travel across water/acid. Almost always useful. All have Level 3 to Level 5 hitpoints. They have the very best weapons in your whole arsenal.
