As you traverse Norrah, you'll also have to fight many different monsters including trolls, goblins, gnolls and ogres. Each campaign throws a number of these battles at you, and some of the combat can be quite intense. While these battles are useful for gaining experience, these creatures are a distraction from the main goal of defeating the rival forces and taking control of the continent for your side. As you progress in your missions and defeat enemies, your units will face a variety of enemies and must attack them in a number of ways. With each successful mission, you can increase your forces' attributes, enhancing their strength and abilities. Experienced units are much more effective in combat, and overtake enemy forces much quicker - they also move faster, which can help you ambush opposing teams. LOE gives you many options in the types of abilities you want to emphasize, such as combat skills or magic spells. Unlike many other RTS games, every type of unit can level up, which adds to LOE's depth. As you defeat enemies, your units will gain more energy and power.
