The world of Legendra was ruled by benevolent goddesses, but the last of them, Astea, was challenged by a dark god named Madruk. In order to defeat Madruk, Astea created a powerful dragon, who eventually emerged victorious and was able to seal Madruk away.
Years have passed. The land of Legendra is now divided into eight kingdoms. One of them, Fandaria, is ruled by a monarch named Goldark. The other kings have heard rumors that Goldark is planning to take over Legendra by conquering all the other kingdoms. Everyone is preparing for war, without realizing that the ancient evil is about to raise its head once again...
Dragon Force is a real-time strategy game (RTS). The player can choose one of the six monarchs (plus two additional ones that become available once the game is completed) with their unique scenarios. The gameplay is divided into three modes: management, overworld movement, and battle. Management mode allows the player to assign generals, decide the fate of prisoners, prepare the army for battles, etc. Navigation on the map is done in real time; once two warring armies have reached the same spot, the player is taken to a separate battle screen. The battles also evolve in real time, the goal usually being killing or capturing enemy general. If all the soldiers are killed, the two generals can opt for a duel that will decide the outcome of the battle.
Each kingdom has unique "strong" fighter types, which the player should use to target the weaknesses of the opposing armies. Each fighter type also has his own special techniques and abilities.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Highland Kingdom and Palemoon Kingdom are two distinct realms within Legendra, each with unique histories, geographical advantages, and key leaders facing the lingering threat of the Dark God Madruk. In this strategy-focused narrative, players manage these kingdoms by overseeing their economies, fortifications, and diplomatic relations while assembling teams of specialized characters like kings, knights, and priests. The ultimate goal involves navigating political alliances and military conflicts to ensure the survival and prosperity of these lands against external invaders and internal challenges.
Story
Highland Kingdom
Highland Kingdom has existed from time uncounted. A Highland man's honor means more to him than his own life. Sadly, many paid the ultimate price for honor when they opposed the Dark God Madruk.
Despite the heavy casualties experienced, Highland was the first kingdom to rebuild their castle after Madruk was locked away by Harsgalt. The many monarchs that have ruled over the land have done so with a kind but firm hand. They have created a kingdom that is peaceful and tranquil, policed by the chivalrous Highland Knights.
Kingdom Profile
The kingdom is known for its farming, agricultural, and forestry industries, all of which are under private ownership. These products are not only used locally but are also exported to other nations.
The most pressing economic problem is the lack of industrialized work. Tools, equipment, and other manufactured items are imported from other nations.
Wein
After becoming the king of Highland at the age of seventeen, Wein quickly displayed his ability to be a capable and compassionate ruler. His enemies know him as an extremely cunning and brilliant warrior.
His reputation has grown and spread through all of Legendra. This has caused many of his enemies to defect to Highland in order to join him.
Location Info
Located on the Southeast corner of Legendra, Highland has an excellent geographical location. With the ocean bordering it on two sides, the only real threat can come from armies invading from the northern and western areas.
With good fortification on the only vulnerable fronts, Highland is relatively secure.
Nolun Canceller
After the death of Wein's father, Nolun was appointed Wein's chief advisor. He helps Wein care for the diplomatic affairs of the kingdom.
Rudger Fighter
Despite his rather flamboyant lifestyle, Rudger is one of the best sword masters in the Kingdom. It is rumored that he and Kharhaz of Fandaria trained under the same sword master.
Galam Knight
Galam's family has served as palace knights for generations. He has earned a reputation for being a rather stubborn and inflexible man.
However, he has earned the respect of everyone who has fought at his side.
Nina Priest
After discovering her ability to heal people, Wein quickly enlisted her to serve in the palace guard. Not only has she mastered the art of healing, but she has more than once proven herself to be a very effective fighter as well.
Link Fighter
Link grew up being Wein's attendant. He is very close to Wein and views him more as an older brother than his king.
Although he acts immature, he is talented with a blade.
Palemoon Kingdom
In ancient times, a spell was placed on the walls of Moon Palace and the moat that surrounded it to prevent intruders from conquering their capital. However, Madrulk was able to break this spell and attack the elves.
After the sealing of Madrulk, the Elf tribe has worked hard to rebuild their clack. They do so by hiding themselves deep within the great forest. Under these ideal surroundings the Elf tribe is once again starting to prosper.
Under Teiris' direction, they may once again become a dominant kingdom in Legendra.
Kingdom Profile
The forest provides the most important products that Palemoon has to offer other nations. These forest products are the main source of income for the Kingdom.
However, exporting to other nations is kept to a minimum, as well as, importing products from other countries. The kingdom tends to be self-sufficient when it comes to their economy.
Location Info
Located on the far eastern side of Legendra with access primarily from the western side. Its capital, Moon Palace, was created with the idea of taking advantage of the natural terrain.
By building Moon Palace within the mountain and lakes of the area, they have turned it into a "natural fortress."
Teiris
This charming offspring of the elves possesses an unusually strong magic. Even though she was recently chosen to be Palemoon's Queen, she is still unsure of herself.
Though her face is that of an angel, it masks the steely resolve to keep the kingdom of Palemoon safe from attack by the surrounding jackals. Do not underestimate the power of her friendship.
Moto Chancellor
This wise old elf offers support and guidance to Teiris. His advice to Teiris has always proven to be very beneficial.
Manoa Priest
Manoa is a devoted priestess who loyally serves the queen. Her strong fighting ability, which is extremely useful against the undead, makes up for her poor leadership qualities.
Cinna of Junon's army is her sister.
Gulen Knight
This mercenary owes his very life to Teiris. Upon wandering into Palemoon, wounded and barely alive, Teiris took pity on Gulen and healed him.
Due to this fact, he has vowed to serve her until his death.
Duran Fighter
As a high-minded and noble individual, he came to Palemoon in the hopes of saving the diminishing Elf tribe. He is a very courageous fighter who has earned the respect of all of the elves, including Teiris herself.
Reiner Magician
Despite trying to be a peaceful individual, he is forced to fight in the war. He tends to promote himself as a pacifist, but his magic power and strange dress has proven otherwise.
Tristan Empire
Tristan Empire is the second most powerful nation in all of Legendra, second only to Fandaria. Due to their harsh climate, relatively few people tend to stay here.
However, the kingdom is ruled by a dictator who is in
How to Play
Before You Begin
Before turning on the SEGA Saturn, make sure it is properly connected according to the SEGA Saturn instructions. Insert the CD into the well of the CD tray and close the lid. Next, press the power button on the front of the unit. If the unit is already on, select the Saturn icon on the CD screen. The title screen should appear.
If the unit fails to function correctly, turn it off. Check to see if the SEGA Saturn is connected properly and then try again. When you have finished playing, select SAVE before turning off the SEGA Saturn. Always make sure to turn off the SEGA Saturn before removing a CD.
The SEGA Saturn CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If the SEGA Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge.
Game Progression
The game will proceed according to a specific chart. When the game begins, a character must be selected before proceeding to the various phases of the game. If "CONTINUE" is selected at the title screen, the game will begin at either the Administration Mode or at the Map Mode, depending on where the game was saved.
Take the time to understand each of these phases of the game. By having a clear understanding of the game's progression, the game can be played without encountering any problems due to a lack of knowledge about how the game works.

•
Map Mode: Organize war parties to invade other countries.
•
Battle Preparation Mode: Prepare for battles by checking the enemy's data.
•
Battle Mode: Fight by controlling a general and their soldiers.
Understanding options two through five is essential in progressing through the game.
Saturn Backup RAM
Since a game's save data cannot be saved directly on a compact disc, the SEGA Saturn is equipped with Internal Backup RAM. Most CD games have a save feature that uses it. If a game cannot be saved, it may be necessary to delete some previously saved data or copy some of the save data to a Backup RAM cartridge.
If the Saturn's memory is full, then make room on the Backup RAM by deleting unwanted save data files. To access the System Settings menu quickly, turn on the SEGA Saturn and hold down the Right and Left Shift buttons on the controller. If the game unit is already turned on, press the RESET button while holding down the Left and Right Shift buttons. From the System Settings Screen, select Memory Manager.
From this screen, any or all of the save data files in the System Backup RAM can be deleted. Remember, once save data is deleted it can never be recovered.
Deleting Save Data
To delete specific save data on the SEGA Saturn, select the REMOVE ITEM option from the System Memory box and press the "A" button. The Delete Screen then will appear. Next, decide which file to erase.
•
If "YES" is selected, the save data file will be erased, freeing up more memory for game saves.
•
If "NO" is selected, then the save data file will not be erased.
To clear all of the save data files on the SEGA Saturn, select the CLEAR option from the System Memory box and press the "A" button.
•
If "YES" is selected, then all of the save data will be erased. Once erased, it can NEVER be recovered.
•
If "NO" is selected, then the save data will not be erased.
If the message NOT REMOVED! appears, there may be a problem with the system's backup memory. For assistance in fixing this problem, call 1-800-SEE-SATURN.
Continue
Continue from a previously saved game. To continue from a previously saved location, choose "CONTINUE." After selecting this command, the Archives Screen will be displayed. There are two different options available under the Archives Screen: RETRIEVE and RESUME.

•
The "RESUME" option is only available if the game was ended during the Map Mode and a Backup RAM cartridge is installed.
