ACKS Domains at War: The Complete Set

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Tomorrow you will bring the battle to the foe. Tonight you walk among the troops you’ll lead. The mercenaries are veterans and sleep while they can, but the peasants levied from your lands seek courage in tales of your previous victories. In the cover of darkness, you can listen rather than lead. Remember when you were like them? Back when you first entered the dungeon, you wielded a sword to fight for gold, glory, and the favor of the gods. Winning these earned you a throne. Now you wield an army, and fight for the right to rule the domains at war.

Domains at War™ brings the full sweep of fantasy warfare to tabletop gaming and role-playing campaigns. The Domains at War Complete Set offers three interlocking systems to cover the full sweep of military struggles in a fantasy, ancient, or medieval world:

  • A quick mass combat rule system for use in any role-playing game that uses concepts like hit points and armor class
  • A comprehensive campaign toolkit for use in ongoing games, fully compatible with the Adventurer Conqueror King System's rules for mercenaries, strongholds, magic, and rulership
  • A fast-playing tactical wargame derived from these systems, so that playing a battle generates outcomes like what you'd get if you fought it out on the one-on-one roleplaying scale

The Domains at War Complete Set comes with two rulebooks, Campaigns and Battles, as well as 12 pages of printable full-color counters for units, leaders, spells, and terrain and a 4' x 3' PDF battlemap for tabletop warfare.

Domains at War is designed for Autarch's best-selling Adventurer Conqueror King System™, but is compatible with any fantasy RPG system that uses twenty-sided dice and shares concepts like hit points and armor class.  If your tabletop gaming would benefit from the vivid drama and agonizing choices of warfare, Domains at War is designed for you.

And if you like ACKS, be sure to check out Adventurer Conqueror King System Imperial Imprint, the revised and expanded edition of ACKS, crowdfunding now at Kickstarter.

Enjoying this set so far! Is there a list of what the counters represent like the description for the "Troops and Terrain" set?

No, there isn't. I often just use them to represent whatever is in the army. "The green things, uh, those are the werewolves." My friends think it's hilarious that I fig rep with paper counters.

Would love to see a soft/hard cover with print out counters if that's ever a possibility.

Warning, if you have previously purchased three seperate books. YOU DON'T NEED THIS. It's exactly the same files collected to one page.
I've purchased that and this... Redundant choice I've made where I could've opted for Sepulcher of the Sorceress-Queen and completed the collection. I couldn't even refund it since I downloaded to check the files out.

12 cards listed as page count? This isn't a book?

It's two books (105 pages and 133 pages, 238 pages total) and one set of 12 pages of printable counters.

Please help me with my FOMO, and help new purchasers make a good decision. Based on comments, it appears that this complete set includes maps and some counters that are not part of Troops And Terrain (TT). So if you get the complete set plus TT, you have everything for $27.50. Is that correct?

You could also just buy Campaigns, Battles, and TT for $21. At first glance that looks like a less expensive path, especially since it was not that clear that there were some things in the complete set you might want (the maps, and an unknown set of counters). But the only way to scratch that FOMO itch is to now buy the complete set, which also includes unnecessary redundant copies of Campaigns and Battles, bringing your cost to $41.

As you can guess by now, I didn’t buy the complete set. And I don’t know whether I’m missing something I’d like to have. Caveat emptor, let that be a lesson to me. But for prospective future buyers, can you clarify what only the complete set provides in the...See more

Yes.

The Complete Set includes Domains at War Campaigns, Domains at War Battles, as well as a set of battle maps and a set of counters.
Troops & Terrain includes additional counters that were not included in the Complete Set.

I'm sorry for the confusion. If you message me at alex@autarch.co (not .com, .co) with your DriveThruRPG email address I can help you sort out what you need.

Seems domains at war is IMPOSIBLE to get as a physical copy. Be it bought by parts or this "complete set" (that seems isn't complete because it doesn't include troops and terrain).
The only physical copy of the series is "troops and terrain".
So sad... I missed the Kickstarter so my only choice is to buy it here or buy an overpriced copy on eBay.

To be clear, the Complete Set includes some troops and terrain. Troops & Terrain includes *even more* troops and terrain.

Complete Set includes (a) Campaigns, (b) Battles, (c) battlemaps, (d) unit counters, (e) terrain counters.
Troops & Terrain includes (d) more unit counters and (e) more terrain counters.

Now, in mid-2018, how is this different than buying the Battles, Campaigns, and Troops and Terrain?

Is the Troops and Terrain product included in this "complete set?"

The last update here was July 2015, but perhaps make a bundle instead that clears up the versions. Troops and Terrain appears to be up-to-date as of June 2014.

The Complete Set is the set that was offered to Backers during the Kickstarter. It does not include the counters that were included in Troops & Terrain, which turned out to be more than those created for the Complete Set. Conversely Troops & Terrain does not include the battlemaps.

If you already own Battelore or other game that uses 2" hexes then I would recommend you purchase D@W:B, D@W:C, and D@W:T&T. If you need battlemaps, I would buy D@W:C.

Your recommendation of a bundle is a good one and we'll look into it. Thank you!

I know that for the ACKS core and companion, if you bought the pdf, you would receive an equivalent discount on the hard copy. Will the same hold true for purchases of the DAW pdf and hard copy?

Note that compared to the Troops and Terrain product, the counter sheets included with this are missing spell tokens, road, ditch, stream, heavy forest, mud, rubble, swamp, lake pieces, as well as walls, most towers and a number of other fortified stronghold terrain pieces.

It's also missing ~50 of the human troop counters, ~30 of the beastman counters, half (12) of the undead counters and all the artillery counters, possibly a few more.

Since it's missing most of the terrain and many of the troops, it'd probably make more sense to save $5 and buy the Battles and Campaign books separately, or spend $2.50 more and get the counter's book, too.

Thanks for the heads up, good to know. Guess I will buy them all separately when the time comes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
