The battles that take place on hex maps remain the core of the game. Cassia, main protagonist of Blackguards 2, is looking for them: Cassia’s only goal is to rule from the Shark Throne at all costs, even if it’s only for one day. Their skill increases if specific locations with bonuses are under the player's control. If the main heroes are not in the region, most of these side battles will be fought by bands of mercenaries which, depending on what parts of the world map were conquered, can include swordfighters, spearmen, archers, as well as an assassin, a mage and a black ogre. After a few victories, the enemy will launch a counterattack which, if not defeated, will lead to losing the location and all of its attached bonuses. Conquering a specific location will give the player certain bonuses and possibly new types of mercenary units. The world map plays as a sort of Risk-like board game, in which Cassia needs to take over these settlements one by one until the entire emirate is under her control. Travelling on the world map is now less about exploration and solving quests, and more about conquering different towns and points of interest. Cassia, wife of South Aventuria’s ruler Marwan, was sent to exile where she ‘changed.’. On the other hand, simple talents and spells can be upgraded only four times, from tier 1 to tier 4. While weapon talents can be increased point by point from 0 to 100, the effects improve only when a certain threshold is reached (the next tier). However, there are significant changes to the skill tree and level progression since the base values can't be upgraded, instead the focus turns to a wide array of special abilities, and a four-tier system for weapon talents, talents and spells. Even more, all the main heroes besides Cassia are the player's companions in the first title. The game is almost identical to the original Blackguards in terms of graphics and gameplay. The player joins Cassia as she escapes from her prison and tries to conquer the Emirate of Mengbilla. The game is based on the pen-and-paper role-playing game The Dark Eye, and borrows a lot of mechanics and the setting from it. Her only companion is 'The Good Ruler', a book on governing, which after countless reads has triggered a spark inside Cassia-she decided that she wants to rule, to see everyone bow before her, even if it's just for one day. Frightened and clueless as to why she is deprived of her freedom, she soon finds out that the underground is a dangerous place, inhabited by venomous spiders and who knows what other manner of creatures. Cassia of Tenos was the consort of Marwan, the First Kyrios of Mengbilla, until one day she was snatched from her bed and thrown to rot in the catacombs beneath the capital's arena.
