Almost all units in the game can level up to level 5 except for mechanical units, phoenixes and most of the spell-caster units. By gaining a level a unit becomes stronger.

It follows the 'old-school' style of RTS gameplay that was commonplace in the 1990s in titles such as Warcraft II, StarCraft and the Age of Empires series.Ī unit can gain levels in the game through killing enemy units and so gather experience points. Different unit types are built at different structures. The player can also select units and give them orders to attack, move or build. The player has to gather resources (gold, wood, and gems) to produce units and buildings, as well as to research spells and upgrades. The gameplay appears to be very similar to Warcraft III, especially considering the factions involved: The Empire (Humans, Elves, Dwarves, etc.), the Beasts (Lizardmen and other barbaric humanoid creatures), and the Fallen (Undead and eldritch monsters). The game contains a single-player campaign with 36 missions with three very distinct factions, a skirmish mod against the AI on a plethora of different maps to choose from, a chess implementation, a multiplayer mode via internet (no more, see above) or via LAN and a powerful map editor with trigger support. In October 2006, EA shut down the online game servers, but there is still the possibility to play online via Gameranger, Hamachi or Radmin VPN. This makes the game more challenging as the player has to work on two fronts and might have an army come from an unexpected area. One unique aspect of the game is that it has an underground mode. The game was created by Black Hole Entertainment released in 2004 and distributed by Electronic Arts. Armies of Exigo is a real-time strategy video game for Microsoft Windows.
