Characters are divided up by class and can be put into formations by clicking on it's icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. The final version of the game Humans, Goblins, Elves, Orcs and the Undead will be playable. Players can gain control of units by allying with them or using magic to subdue them. Doing this will give players access to units that are not readily available (depending on what your starting race is) - each race has a special ability that can be used in combat based on class.
