Budapest-based Black Hole Games features talent that contributed to such visually impressive motion pictures as Terminator 3, and now it has its sights set on fantasy-themed strategy. Armies of Exigo aims to deliver traditional real-time strategy gameplay on an epic scale. The game has three warring factions: the Empire, which consists of humans, wood elves, and other "light" races; the Beast Horde, made up of trolls, ogres, and similar creatures; and the Fallen, which includes aliens, insectoid creatures, and dark elves. Each faction has about 20 units, and the factions are designed to be asymmetrical, so they won't all just be clones of each other.

Perhaps the most innovative feature in Armies of Exigo is that it takes place on two different levels. In addition to the regular surface world, there's an underground level. This adds a new dimension to the gameplay, as you can focus to build on the surface, build in the underground, or both. The single-player campaign will be spread over 36 missions, 12 per faction. Over the course of the campaign, you'll play as each of the three factions to see how each one relates to the other, and you'll also become acquainted with them for use in multiplayer play. Armies of Exigo will support up to 12 players and will have 30 to 40 multiplayer levels. Each player will be able to command up to 200 units, so it'll be possible to have gigantic battles with more than a thousand units in play.
