Gods and Heroes Squad Combat
Gods and Heroes has the solo player in us all taken care of with their new combat system they call Squad Combat. With Squad Combat you can hire npcs to fight with you and control them as a group or individually, send your defensive infantry to tank, order the priest to keep him healed and archers to shoot from afar; or cast invisibility on your group and sneak past enemy lines to take out a particular enemy in the back ranks. The decision is yours, Squad members can be changed to fit different situations when you see fit.
Playing with these minions throughout the whole game you will become attached to them but do not worry, just like a real player they will be ressurectable; the only way to really lose a Squad member is if you fire them. You can outfit your minions with new gear to keep them up to speed and they will level up just like you. Common units can be found in different cities with different strengths, light minions will be made available initially but heavy units can be recruited in the later levels. You can also find the more powerful and rare mythical beings to fight by your side, they however will be difficult to find and earned after a long questing series.
One of my favorite aspects about the system is allowing you to control the minions individually or collectively, running up to a large group of powerful Hydra, sacrifices must be made and the Colossus behind them is the target. Send in our unfortunate rogue to grab their attention and take the group around while they are distracted. You can set the AI behavior or formations for your squad, choosing from existing ones or even making your own, there will be an in-game tool to allow you to do that.
As you gain in levels you will be allowed to recruit more members, at the highest level out of release you can have up to 8 minions. High level raid content can consist of just a few players; a group with full squads teamed together you would have an army of 45 to combat the Minotaur King. The more I hear about how GnH will be implementing Squad Combat into the game the more excited I get, this is truly innovative in the world of MMO’s.
