AGE OF HEROES IV
You will know about passion and thirst exceeding everything man can feel, about the fate of those who deceived Death itself.
You will know how Undead think and feel.
You will have to participate in the last journey of those who were elves – out of new kingdom of orcs, to a far north, going by barbarian settlements and valleys of mighty wizards, through undergrounds of ancient races and heated rifts of demons, to white fire of the inquisitors of man’s empires, and sharp blades of their paladins – searching the place for dead in the world of living ones.
Looking for power or oblivion.
Features of the game:
Your character is not alone in his traveling. Now, the party of heroes
with different characteristics and unique skills is under your command.
Your party can be changed; heroes can join it and leave it, carry on
dialogues, fulfill quests and come into conflicts.
In the beginning of the game you’ll be able to select the sex and specialization of your character. During the game heroes can get new properties and even completely transform under certain conditions met… one can become liches, others – masters of vampires or lords of creatures.
Your heroes have to fight to survive – to live, they have to devour souls of their living enemies. Soul stones, used to keep the essence of life, also serve them to raise the armies and allow using of magic.
Races:
Undead.
Not only heroes are Un-dead, but those who can be called by heroes are
Un-dead too. Skeletons and zombies rising from grave-yards, shadows
freezing the blood in the veins of living, nasty creatures created from
latest corpses, violent and cruel vampires, and liches, sending plague
– these are those who will serve you and will stand under your torn
flags.
Demons.
Orcish god’s coming into the world broke its fundamentals, and let into
it the creatures making tremble even orc. Demons are mighty and
uncontrollable, but they are not numerous, and attached to the portals
they went out. Devils are in their ranks, crossing the battlefield in a
moment, fiends throwing fire balls and inspiring horror – demonic
magicians.
Humans.
An order of Lunar Sword inquisitors was created to separate dead from
living, forever. In the time of peace the order keeps borders of human
empire protecting valleys of humans’s magicians and keeping them under
surveillance – and woe to those who’ll dare to cross the boundaries of
allowable knowledge. Inquisitors include – mercenaries who don’t afraid
of anyone or anything, thought to fight with horrible creatures of
magic; and mighty paladins, turning undead by a single touch.
Orcs.
They had won the war, and beast-god Khar, embodied in the leader
Rakgul, sat on throne in the shell of elven Eternal Tree. There are no
wood elves any more, and orcs don’t chase them intentionally, but when
they meet them, they will never step back and will never have mercy on
elves. They have – accurate hunters, fearless warriors, and kharhars –
orcish army elite.
Barbarians.
Not numerous tribes of brave and strong people living in the icy
deserts of the North are accustomed to meet any danger face to face.
They disdain magic, fighting steel to steel – their swordsman are
impetuous and fearless, their berserkers wearing animal skins and armed
with huge axes compare well even with orcs, and their spearman can
throw their weapon to eighty steps piercing any armor.
