# The Wilderness

The wilderness is a map constructed from hexagon-shaped tiles that contain randomly generated features such as NPCs, rival characters to battle, or loot to capture.

Upon entering combat, players strategically manage their characters in a turn-based fashion, navigating the battlefield to discover valuable loot and adversaries to challenge. The combat's resolution and the victor are determined by a RNG algorithm that takes into account the heroes' equipment, level, skills, and incurred damage. 

The winning player claims the loot from the vanquished opponent and progresses on the map, carrying forward any damage endured from the previous encounter.
