Rapid Strike is an alternate way of battling specially marked targets. You’ll know it’s a Rapid Strike target because they’ll be marked on the map with a distinctive orange sword icon.
Rapid Strike differs from normal combat because each battle only takes seconds to resolve, plus there’s no spectating, no replay, nor can they be reinforced. After the fight is over the attacking Army will stage where the target was previously, immediately ready to embark on another Strike–if they’re not too wounded, of course.
Strikes are intentionally tuned so several can be defeated before the attacking army needs to head home for healing. Strike targets will appear in biomes appropriate for their faction, so it’ll be possible to gear up an Army to be particularly effective for those Strikes. Currently, there are Cinderbone targets in Emberlands and Graveborn targets in The Bleakfrost.
Try a few for yourself, and let us know what you think!
