Most lands are composed of a few cities always separated by an outpost. The enemy will always start in control of the entire map aside from Thorald's city. Once the last enemy city is breached Thorald will always face a boss fight alone. Each boss fight has three phases, progressing to the next phase once the boss loses a third of its health.
