Mobilising Armies is the first strategic mini-game. To start, you must first talk to Junior Cadet Mal. He will teach you the basics.
To play more scenarios, you must take Junior Cadet Mal's extra trainings. These are optional but required to play more scenarios.
After Mal has taught you everything, you need to invest credits. Speak to him again and choose "Invest commodities." You can offer many different items to Mal although he will not accept all. Every item has a different value. The maximum credit you can have is 500,000.
For a list of items that you can trade with Mal, you may want to talk to him again and this time choose "What are commodities?" If there's a green rectangle near items, that means you have those in your bank.
Now you will want to make a team. With credits you have, you can make a team. To make a team, you must recruit squads. Head to the building south of the bank. There are 3 different races. Elves, goblins and dwarves. You can recruit by talking to Elven recruiter, Goblin recruiter and Dwarven recruiter. Pick your team wisely because you can only own 10 squads. Talk to one of the recruiters and then choose what you want. After you are done, press "Hire". You will now see the squad scroll in your inventory.
Playing The Game:
Scenarios:
Head to the Briefing room entrance. You must now select a scenario. There are four different scenarios. Conflict, Siege, Hoard and Rescue. Each scenario has a different objective, they are the following:
| Objective | Image | Winning Conditions | Notes |
| Conflict | ![]() |
Primary - Kill the other opponent | This is a 1 on 1 scenario. Your objective is to kill your opponent in 30 minutes. There is only one other team. If you win, you receive 2 rank points. If you lose, you receive only one. You receive zero if you don't do 10 commands during the game or do not last for 4 minutes. |
| Siege | ![]() |
Primary - Break into the castle Secondary - Eradicate opponents |
In this scenario, your objective is to break into the castle. There are two ways to do this. First; build a catapult. To build a catapult send your squads to gather wheels, wood, rope and limbs. After you make one you need to collect rocks. Send your squads to get rocks and they will bring rocks back to you. Catapult fires 4 rocks at one time so it needs 4 rocks before firing. Second way; attacking the walls with your squads. This is not recommended because castle mages attack your squads if they are close. |
| Hoard | ![]() |
Primary - Gather 100,000 gold Secondary - Eradicate opponents |
This scenario is set at a volcano island, with a dragon. You must collect 100,000 gold or defeat your opponents in order to win. You can collect gold by using the 'Cave Collect' command. If you only have one squad collecting golds, it will fail. You need at least two squads to collect. Also, you can kill your opponents to steal their gold. |
| Rescue | ![]() |
Primary - Rescue 28 TzHaar Secondary - Eradicate opponents |
In this scenario, you must be the first to save 28 TzHaar. Use the "Rescue" command to rescue TzHaar from their end, or just click on a TzHaar. You can also steal TzHaar from your opponents. |
After you have chosen a scenario, you may use your investment points. You'll get higher points in the end if you bet higher. Highest you can bet is 10,000 points. Press "Play!" and you will find yourself in the briefing room. You need at least 20 players to play. After there are enough players, players will slowly start to get in the game.

Formations:
There are 9 different formations:

Please note that Wedge, Wall and Flank unlocks automatically. You need higher ranks to unlock others.
Strategies:
- While attacking stay on the special terrains. By this way, your squads will be able to double their hits.
- Attacking an enemy squad from back also deals more damage.
- While attacking don't forget the combat triangle. (Elves > Dwarves > Goblins > Elves)
- Always try to attack light squads first. Their Strength and Hitpoints are lower than heavy ones there fore easier to kill.
- Sometimes players will just sit there and do nothing for 30 minutes. This is not recommended since even if you lose you get more points than just sitting there and doing nothing.
- Doing nothing for 30 minutes will result in NO rank gains or reward credits. You need to last until at least 26 minutes left have done 10 commands. (Walking and Exploring do not count in the 10 commands)
