About the game
Battalia is the perfect land to live on with its beautiful nature on the surface... but down there, deep underground rules the Blight and Kramplings are dwelling in the tunnels. Now they want to crawl out from their forsaken wells, spoil the Stormgates and taint the vicinity. All living creatures and plants shall die or become weaker... All movements in their range will be harder and the worst part is - they fear no ordinary hero, but only the Oracle Knights.... ... Only a few of them left during the years - not every man is able to bear this burden. Their life is not their own, their cause is the eternal pledge - they are the noble order of the Oracle Knights. Only they posses the secret formula, the power of the ancient spell, which heals the corruption and frightens the Kramplings to death. Their weapons were forged with a magic adjuration able to overcome the aura of the beasts and to destroy them... Eternal secret since the dawn of time... NCBC is a collection of mini expansions based on neutral big scale figurines, which are designed to enlarge the immersive Battalia universe, introducing a whole bunch of new strategic possibilities to the players and adding completely new adventure elements to the basically competitive plot. In general they don't belong to any faction (resp. to any player) and can be played in different combinations with the basic game or with the BIG!Expansion. We don't recommend to mix more than 3 different types of NPCs in your games in order to avoid higher complexity. But you can mix them in totally different combinations, which ensures the long-term replay ability and excitement in this game universe. Normally the NPCs have small complementary rules, which are provided only online on Battalia's home page battalia.eu as high resolution printable PDF files. The miniatures are distributed in small packaging boxes with custom artwork as separate items or possibly in bundles.
