A battle is won before it begins. Ratnik is a medieval auto battler built around preparation, positioning and counterplay. There is no micromanagement once the fighting starts. No last-second spell saves. No hero abilities. You build your army. You deploy your forces. You press start. And then your strategy either holds — or collapses. Tactical Army Composition Every battle begins in the deployment phase. You decide how to spend your limited gold, which units to field, and how to position them before the first clash. Each unit has a cost and a deployment cap, forcing meaningful trade-offs instead of simple massing of one type. Spearmen for cost-efficient frontline pressure Swordsmen for balanced engagements Crossbows to increase total damage output Royal Guards to anchor critical positions Mounted Knights to disrupt formations with trampling charges Healers to extend your army’s staying power Ratnik does not rely on hard counters. Instead, success comes from understanding efficiency, synergy, and battlefield roles. Every unit contributes differently to the overall performance of your army. There are no permanent stat upgrades. Victory comes from building a composition that performs better, not one that simply looks stronger. Defeat the Lords Progression happens through conquest. Each region is ruled by a Lord with a distinct army composition and battlefield philosophy. Some rely on disciplined infantry lines. Others overwhelm with cavalry charges or ranged pressure. Defeating a Lord unlocks new units and deeper strategic possibilities — but the next opponent will demand even more refined tactics. As the campaign advances, battles scale up in size and complexity, culminating in massive clashes where full compositions collide. Large-Scale Medieval Battles From early 20v20 engagements to 100v100 warfields, Ratnik delivers large battles without micromanagement. Fights are designed to resolve decisively — but the outcome is determined entirely by your preparation.
