The loud screams of pain that can be heard from a distance every now and then pierce marrow and bone, rattling even the toughest of our men. The Undead have taken over the old dungeon of this icy island, torturing prisoners. We must act swiftly to free these poor souls before they reveal secrets that could endanger Therwall itself!


Our journey into the frozen depths of the dungeon began with a cacophony of suffering that hung in the air like a haunting melody. The eerie glow of ghostly torches illuminated the cold stone walls, etched with the scratches of countless prisoners. The Undead minions patrolling these halls showed no mercy, but our forces pressed on, undeterred by the overwhelming darkness.

In the depths of this cursed dungeon, we faced Count Astaroth, a terrifying adversary whose mere presence sent chills down the spines of our warriors. Towering and cruel, Astaroth commanded his minions with a voice that reverberated like thunder in these confined spaces. After a harrowing battle, Aglovan struck the final blow, and the Count fell, his wretched scream echoing through the corridors.


Among the freed prisoners was a messenger from Eldric II. He brought dire news: Castle Therwall is under siege. But the King’s greater worry lies in reports that the enemy is preparing reinforcements—new warriors or powerful equipment that could tip the balance of war. The messenger’s warning leaves us with no choice; our path to Therwall will be fraught with peril, but it must be taken.


The rescue mission has bought us valuable time, but the stakes have never been higher. The messenger’s words weigh heavily on us as we march onward, knowing that any delay could spell doom for Therwall. We must stay vigilant and strong, for the fate of the realm may depend on the choices we make next.

The Undead continue to reinforce their armies with monstrous Tier 3 units, bringing devastating ranged and siege capabilities to the battlefield.



Ranged Unit – Pestilence: Armed with tainted unholy toxins, these vile units inflict poison damage. Their attacks sap the strength of your forces afar, making them a priority target in any engagement.

Siege Unit – Plague Cannon: This abominable war machine launches explosive plague bombs with corrosive poison. These weapons devastate fortifications and troop formations, forcing commanders to adapt or perish.

These units ensure that every late-game battle is an intense and challenging test of your strategy. Prepare to face their deadly powers and emerge victorious!
