Set for release early next year, the expansion will offer a nonlinear storyline, two primary campaigns – elf and human – and a mission editor to let you create your own missions and campaigns, as well as various multiplayer modes.

“This is one of the best-looking TBS games I’ve seen in a long time, and it follows in the same spirit of games like Heroes of Might and Magic, Master of Magic, and Warlords Battlecry”, said Paradox Interactive Executive Vice President Fredrik Wester. “The developers have really taken care to provide extensive depth and content, which could make this game one of those that stays on gamers hard drives for a long time.”
