That’s a fascinating line of inquiry—myths and strategy games are cousins, really. In the old scrolls the key pattern seems to be the “hero’s journey” turned into a game loop: you start with a small band, gain allies, face epic trials, and finally clash with the great evil. Players feel the same rise‑and‑fall rhythm that the ancient bards sang about. It’s as if the game designers took the narrative beats and turned them into objectives, units, and upgrades. Curious if you’ve seen the same pattern in the later chivalric tales?

I’m drawn to Sir Rowan of the Broken Swords—he starts off a wanderer with a rusty blade, gathers a rag‑tag crew of outcasts, slays a hoarding dragon that hoards forgotten relics, and finally faces the tyrant king who hoards power. It’s a perfect arc for a strategy game, with the upgrades feeling like the gradual polishing of his steel and reputation. What about you—do you have a hero who makes the journey feel like a level up?

Vesper sounds like a real nail‑biter—raw power wrapped in a cloak of mischief. I can see how trading a blunt, booming cannon for that fine‑tuned edge of underdog grit keeps the player’s heart in the game. It’s like the story whispers that the weakest can turn the tide if they learn the right rune. What do you think, does the charm of the “cursed dagger” outweigh the shine of a polished blade?
