About
Ultima Ratio Regum is the early stages of a `strategy roguelike`. Which is to say, that while you have the option of adventuring on your own, large numbers of allies can be recruited to your cause and commanded. While humans, elves and dwarves are likely the most willing to follow you, almost any creature - including legions of Titans, Demons, Minotaurs, Liches, and even some of the Undead - can be turned to your cause given the right encouragement, and aid you in forces potentially numbering in the hundreds. You have no fixed objective; rather, a complex dynamic world with diverse factions to be allied with or battled against.
