This scenario is set in a fantasy based world containing magic, dragons, goblins, wizards, witches, and other fantastic creatures such as the griffin and the giant octopus. The scenario only uses a couple of custom units; all of them were developed by Activision. The game does not come with dragon, goblin, bat or wolf sprites; they have to be added later by editing the correct game files. The game only renamed Hoplites into Guards, Alexander into Avatar, Blue Legion into Lord British and a few other changes. The scenario does not have any set years for its turns. Each turn represents 3 months and is named after a season (Spring, Summer, etc.) without any year. The part of the world that is worth knowing covers the entire Britannia archipelago.
