	The biggest departure from TROS is that combat is no longer a 2-tempo gambit. ~~This makes it function~~ a ~~lot more like other RPGs, where every character takes a turn in initiative order, rather than focusing on one duel at a time~~. But the dev still wanted to have a "dice gambling" mechanic, so they came up with the Wager system. You choose how many dice from your pool you want roll in any check. Any dice that aren't rolled are "wagered". If you succeed, the more dice you wagered, the higher your margin of success. When attacking, this means more damage. When defending, this means extra dice for your pool on your next turn.		The biggest departure from TROS is that combat is no longer a 2-tempo gambit.

It mainly differs from the other big TROS successor, [[Song of Swords]], in that its mechanics are more simplified (but still pretty dense. This ''is'' TROS we're talking about) and the whole system is designed to be modular, so that more advanced mechanics can be taken out or put back in easily. Also unlike SoS, it does not include its own setting baked into the rulebook, and assumes you are using a generic humans-only historical European setting.
