Each Fleet can move and fight independently on the campaign sector map and has a limited number of movement points per turn. These will warp in at random once enough capacity of your own ships has either warped out or been destroyed, and you can switch which ships of a fleet are in reserve as long as the strength of the Active set does not exceed the battle max capacity. If the sum total of ships between these fleets is higher than the capacity allowed for the battle, a random selection of ships between the fleets will be held in reserve. Each Fleet has their own allowed max Strength of ships, but the allowed total strength of ships that you can take into a battle is always higher which means you can queue up to 3 fleets for a single battle. Within a single fleet any Line ship can be promoted to the Flagship at any time, replacing the previous one in the role, and this also swaps the crews of the ships so the Flagship keeps its experience level. Throughout the rest of this Wiki the leader of a fleet will be called the Commander, the leader's direct ship will be called their Flagship, the set of ships under a Commander's control will be a Fleet, and all of your forces combined will be called your Armada. MULTIPLE FLEETS: While in the original game you carefully selected and upgraded each ship within your single combat fleet, now within the Campaigns you can control multiple fleets of ships.Completing Data Recovery will give you 3 Battleplans, Assassination will reduce the threat of the corresponding faction for a couple of turns, Convoy Escort will give you 100 bonus resources per convoy ship saved, Blockade will give every fleet involved in the battle 1 more movement point after the battle instead of being empty which allows them 1 more move (including getting into another battle in a nearby system), Siege will reduce the cost of evolving systems for a couple of turns, and there are a few new ones within the Chaos campaign for gaining special favor against one of the Chaos Gods such as causing a certain amount of damage through ramming for Nurgle or preventing any enemy boarding action on any of your ships for Slaanesh.

NON-CRITICAL BONUS OBJECTIVES: The mandatory special battle objectives like Assassination, Convoy Escort and the like have now been changed to optional secondary bonus objectives with a bonus reward.The Turn system from Soulstorm is also in effect, controlling multiple aspects of gameplay. Each System has one or more planets which have different effects, and can be upgraded in different ways. Like Soulstorm you now have to attack and conquer multiple Sectors (akin to a Soulstorm planet), with multiple Systems in each (like the individual Soulstorm Territories), and there are only very specific connection paths between Sectors (like the Soulstorm Warp Gates). SOULSTORM-STYLE CAMPAIGNS: The single-player campaigns have adopted quite a number of aspects from the Warhammer 40k Dawn of War: Soulstorm game campaign.Each one has their own independent storyline and system mechanics. The standard game comes with an independent campaign for the Imperium, Necrons and Tyranids, and a paid expansion adds one for Chaos as well. MULTIPLE CAMPAIGNS: You are no longer restricted to playing through an in-depth campaign as only the Imperial Navy.PvP is for the most part the same as before, with set modes for ranked PvP and more flexible modes for skirmishes against NPC opponents. If you're just starting BGA2 and are a veteran of the first game, you would do well to read through and understand the following extensive list of updates that have been made to the gameplay which are mostly relevant to the Campaigns. If you're looking for the Wiki for the original, see Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Wiki. Quite a number of changes have been made to the gameplay. The sequel to Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, this game takes place over 800 years after the first game, at the turn of the Millennium 41.
