The game is set in a fantasy world, in a somewhat medieval time period. The world is occupied by three warring factions "Primary Factions".
Single player game - The player takes the role of Commander for one of the three Primary Factions. Each faction has a different philosophy that is reflected in the game play.
Multiplayer games - the player takes the role of a Recruit starting at the bottom and choosing to work with a faction (or with multiple factions) or none at all.
