Capture the Flag v1.: 1 to 4 players Each player has a base and a flag Only Heroes can carry a flag Players may not pick up their own flag. Number of command points is locked at the beginning of a scenario, so that if a hero dies you can get him back Any units killed are placed on a Temporary reserves list and can be brought back into a scenario once the player has enough gold to summon reserves. Any Hero that dies comes back into play automatically after an amount of time based on difficulty. Any Hero that dies drops all his Objects of Power where he died. These can be picked up by any other hero, including enemies. To win, use the opponents Flag on your base and ensure that no opponent is holding your Flag.
