(Requires 1.17 patch)

You are a mercenary, hired by the Empire to lead troops into battle. You have risen to the rank of commander and have several times proved your worth. You have stayed on after your last victory in the region, and now have been tasked with continuing the push northwards - there are several Orc-controlled islands that have drifted close enough for temporary bridges to be built, and the timing is perfect for the next advance...

Continue the fight against the Orcs and their Fel Orc masters with new and old units alike. Now entenched in the ruins of the Orcs' old Citadel, the Army of the Empire has a perfect base camp to train up the soldiers and construct the seige weapons needed to cut further into the Orcish territories.

But this Orcish Citadel knew you were coming. They took the time while you were regrouping to summon reinforcements and add to their fortifications - beware the Fel Orc war heroes!

Fast paced action - leave the front lines for a second and the Orcs will be up battering down your base.

Choose a race for your hero - each with their own advantages and racial abilities - then choose a profession, including the original Warrior and Summoner classes, and many more!

With a completely overhauled hero system, your character will now become more powerful than the enemy can possibly imagine - but will it be enough?

Death is not the end - if you're dying, you've probably chosen the wrong career - so choose rebirth and start afresh with a different character.
Or choose life and return to the world to continue the war, but at a price of 25% of your gold.

There are many secrets among the Islands, and their shifting nature means that no map stays accurate for long.

Your favourite all-powerful unit returns - the Über-Mech, but still with its hefty price tag. And you'll need to find an authorised vendor first...

Fed up riding a wyvern? It's an Eagle this time... Or you can take a trip on the back of a Giant Beetle that can go from nought to sixty in under two seconds!

The Islands await...
