Fallen Enchantress, First Expansion to Stardock's Elemental: War of Magic, Detailed

PLYMOUTH, MI - January 11, 2011 Today Stardock released the initial details for Fallen Enchantress, the first expansion pack to its latest title, Elemental: War of Magic, the fantasy turn-based strategy game (www.elementalgame.com). Fallen Enchantress includes significant changes to the existing game as well as massive new content additions, including spells, magical equipment, quests, locations and creatures. Additionally, the company confirmed that the expansion pack will be free for all fans that purchased the original game in 2010. Fallen Enchantress is scheduled for Q2 of 2011.

Elemental: War of Magic is a PC strategy game that puts the player in command of a kingdom in a shattered fantasy world. Players build cities, raise armies, research technologies, go on quests, recruit heroes, negotiate treaties, learn spells and more in this epic strategy game.

In Fallen Enchantress players will be able to explore the world of Elemental and discover a wide range of unique locations, including dangerous wild lands that can't be settled until they are conquered.  There are areas like the Bhinadmi Fissure, a massive chasm that spawns demons and earth elementals, until a player goes to the edge and challenges the elemental lord that dwells within.
These undiscovered lands contain new characters and creatures: from the tragic Butchermen who wander the lands around Red Springs trying to pass their curse off to another victim, to Morian the Ruin of Summer, who was once a powerful nature elemental who has been driven mad by the Cataclysm and the destruction of his forests.

Derek Paxton, lead producer for Fallen Enchantress, said, "In Fallen Enchantress we wanted to focus on exploring the world outside your kingdom’s borders.  The world isn't empty and waiting to be settled, it is dangerous and needs to be conquered.  There are unique locations with their own history and guardians; monsters settled in their lairs and vast wild land areas that offer their own challenges and rewards.  There will be areas the player would do well to avoid for most of the game until he builds an army that is able to conquer them."

To face these new challenges, Fallen Enchantress adds a host of spells and magical equipment.  Sacrifice a champion to summon a powerful demon in battle, envelop an entire enemy kingdom in the icy grip of winter or open a gateway to a shadow world that dark creatures can come through.  Players can also recruit champions who specialize in different types of magic and outfit them with magical equipment they create, recover from monster lairs or earn through quests.

"Fallen Enchantress brings the world of Elemental alive.  Don't expect many of your scouts to return, but those that are daring, lucky or strong enough to survive will be rewarded for their journey," concluded Paxton.
