Game options and Renown points

Campaign is the only mode in which you can save game between individual missions. Use this option often, thanks to which you will avoid dire consequences connected with failing missions.

For each mission that you complete, you will be receiving Renown points. You can spend them on anything connected with development and management of the fleet. You receive information on the number of renown points to get before the beginning of each mission. The classification is as follows:

  • X points - for a won battle
  • X/2 points - for a lost battle
  • X% value - additional points that you receive for destroying enemy ships, calculated basing on their value.
  • X/2% value - additional points that you receive for destroying ships, calculated basing on their value.

After each mission, you receive information on how many points you have obtained for that mission. You can spend your points in the shipyard that becomes available after the second campaign mission.

You spend points on additional ship slots, upgrades for your units and on repairing them. Each skill that you buy is going to cost you a lot, so manage your resources well. Also, be careful with heave damage to ships or their utter destruction. In general, repairing units is a high cost that rises alongside the ship's class.

Turns and missions

Campaign is divided into turns. During one turn you can complete a limited number of missions. Number of available missions will grow with Admiral Spire's level. It is important that you compete missions available in that turn. Of course, you can complete only storyline missions, but you have to remember that ignoring missions will have its serious consequences in the following turn. By ignoring missions, you can cause a situation, in which the number of systems that you lose will be high enough to bankrupt you.

Each planet of the system comes with properties. You do not benefit in any major way for owning them, but losing any is severely punished. For causing the collapse of many systems, penalties may make you unable to introduce improvements to your ships and repair them. Before a turn ends, check the number of available missions and try to complete them all. To end a turn click the LMB on the button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

By each planet of the system, you find icons that represent properties on that planet - Basics - Campaign - Battlefleet Gothic: Armada - Game Guide and Walkthrough
By each planet of the system, you find icons that represent properties on that planet

Imperial properties

Imperial centers connected with religion, industry, technology and interplanetary infrastructure. Each of the properties has been assigned to a specific planet in the system. In total, there are nine types of properties, but not every system is big enough to hold all of the property types. Remember that implementing a modification, or performing repairs will be more costly if you lost a corresponding planet in any of the systems. Try to end modification process before the end of a turn, when you do not have any active mission to complete.
