armies clash. bones break. crows feast.

Bloodfield is an auto-battler — you don't control units after the fight starts. You spend a points budget arranging your line: pikemen up front, archers on the flanks, a hero in the middle. You hit Start, and the only thing left to do is watch. Soldiers seek their nearest enemy on their own. Arrows arc, fireballs land, walls fall, dragons sweep the field. Bodies pile up where men died and stay there: blackening, pooling, attracting crows. The whole thing plays out in seconds and the only question is whether your formation was right.
