Army Builder provides a comprehensive set of facilities enabling miniatures gamers to quickly create rosters that are virtually guaranteed to be compliant with the established rules for a given game system. The intuitive interface and powerful feature set are ideal for novices, veterans, and casual players alike.
Army Builder is built around a general purpose engine for roster creation, making it suitable for use with fantasy, science fiction and historical games alike. All of the particulars of a given game system are encapsulated in a set of data files for that game system. The user selects the game system he wants, the corresponding data files are loaded, and the product configures itself for the mechanics of that game system.
Data files are separate from Army Builder. However, they are provided as free downloads that are retrieved directly by the product. This method allows the data files to be updated regularly as new supplements are released for games, and it allows user to download the specific files for the games they want.
A complete tool-set for creating data files and/or customizing existing data files is also available. This Construction Kit makes it possible for gamers to add their own custom troops, make adjustments for house rules, or even write complete data files for a game system.
