Determining Costs:
All soldiers cost a certain amount, as do weapons and armor. Standard soldiers cost exactly 10 points, as they have no special abilities. However, a handful of special troops may be designed and put into battle, allowing you to customize your army. You can design your own heroes and champions by choosing the abilities you want and adding up their total costs.
