Rise of the Swiss is now available
on Steam, offering new DLC for
Field of Glory II:
Medieval, the turn-based strategy sequel. As the title states, this adds
a pre-neutrality Switzerland to the mix, highlighted by the Swiss soldiers' use
of the long pike. For a refresher on the game, here's the handy
Field of Glory II Medieval in 2 minutes video. Here's more on the add-on to
help you see if you'll be able to thwart your opponents with some Swiss cheese:
Showcasing
one of the most revolutionary changes in battlefield tactics, Rise of the
Swiss focuses on the introduction of the long pike. This long thrusting weapon
became a dominant part of the Swiss’ weaponry back in the Fifteenth Century, due
to its devastatingly long reach, and the DLC represents the first time players
will be able to take advantage of its lethal range.
This fourth main DLC for Field of Glory II: Medieval also expands upon the
intense turn-based action of the base game by adding four more
historically-based campaigns, eight more historical scenarios, and many more
features: 22 new units, 60 more army lists, 41 more historical matchups added to
Quick Battle mode, increasing the total to 239, most playable from either
side.
