Dragonshard

Background:
The game takes place in the world of Eberron, a new world created in the D&D universe and the setting for both Dragonshard and Turbine Entertainment’s pending massively multiplayer title, Dungeons & Dragons Online. The above ground element features massive battles, where buildings are just as important as units, whereas the RPG elements come into play in the underground portion, which is akin to a dungeon crawl to bolster armament and treasure caches.

Gameplay:
Dragonshard is a real-time strategy experience based in the mystical world of Eberron, the acclaimed new DUNGEONS & DRAGONS realm. Within this wholly imaginative setting lives an inventive gameplay fusion: dramatic RTS play is affected by the risks and rewards of a thrilling RPG-styled underworld. As players direct troops over the land, they also plunge smaller, hero-led parties below ground to an RPG-modeled world of beasts, battles and bounty. Experience and items gained in this underworld result in great powers and abilities above ground. Using magic, weaponry and skilled maneuvers, players command armies from varying races to control, protect – or destroy – the powerful Heart of Siberys. Obtaining this omnipotent artifact will unleash its full forces, good or evil, upon the entire world.
