Triangle Strategy Premise
The story takes place thirty years after the Saltiron War as two nations discover the Grand Norzelian Mine. The two countries agreed to share the mine and its resources to improve relations. However, after a series of murders, backstabbing, and misunderstandings, conflict breaks out.
Players follow in a story of three nations that are desperate for control over the limited iron and salt resources. The biggest draw to the story is the decisions players can make that affect the outcome of events and the ending.
