With the expansion of massively multiplayer gaming, it seems like every game genre is receiving its own MMO gaming experience. For those players that loved Ogre Battle and other turn-based strategy type games, Atlantica Online may be for you! In our latest exclusive dev diary, the Atlantica Online developers explain their "mercenary system" which is what players will use to organize their squad of minions. To learn more, keep reading!

How you position your mercenaries in a battle is also a strategic choice. You must arrange your characters in a three-by-three grid. You might prefer to have your swordsmen mercenaries, who possess the greatest defensive strength, to be in the front row nearest your opponent. Your monk, with the weaker defense ability, would probably be better off in the back. If a mercenary’s health points are decimated in a battle, he can be revived after the battle by a potion or at a hospital to fight another day.
