SAGA Age of the Wolf campaign system, from Gripping Beast, follows the rise and fall of individual Warlords and their warbands as they strive to achieve dominance over their rivals.
For this campaign - I have called Dance of Power for reference - the players have chosen a faction from the Western European arena and created a campaign roster detailing their Warlord's profile - his Motivation (what he desires), his Traits (his unique characteristics) and his Special skills (his abilities on the battlefield). The roster also lists all the units under his command and records what each Warlord plans to do at the beginning of each season, be that to Raid or Campaign against a rival, or simply look to his Defences and hope for peace.
Each Warlord will, hopefully, accrue additional Land, Wealth, Reputation and Campaign Victory Points as they progress through the six campaign seasons, which ultimately adds to their Power Score. Alliances can be formed and Blood Feuds a dangerous reality. New units can be recruited and veteran units bolstered with fresh blood. Mercenaries can be hired, at a cost.
When the dust has settled after campaign season six, THE WARLORD WITH A POWER SCORE OF 15 OR MORE, AND THE HIGHEST CAMPAIGN VICTORY POINTS TOTAL IS THE WINNER AND DECLARED KING!
The Campaign Leaderboard The chart below will be updated as the campaign progresses. It lists the current Land, Wealth, Reputation, Power and any Campaign Victory Points (CVP) for each Warlord. Land dictates how many Levy units a Warlord can raise, Wealth for Warrior units and Reputation for Hearthguard. There are six columns showing how many battles (*) will be fought by each Warlord for that season and the results. If they choose to Defend and no rivals attack, they have Peace this season. They can sit back and watch the taxes roll in or maybe recruit new units. But at the cost of no Campaign Victory Points.
