Elven Legacy Gets the First Expansion, Ranger

Paradox Interactive has launched the first expansion for Elven Legacy. Set to be one out of a set of three, Elven Legacy: Ranger is available as a downloadable content only, as the other two expansions will probably be as well. The DLC brings two new heroes, 16 new campaign missions, new artifacts and spells and new skills for the main hero. One of these will even enable him to change his attack type before acting on the battlefield.

The expansion will give us a chance to return to the sacred kingdoms of Elven Legacy, as the Ranger Cornelius embarks on a secret mission for the Grand Master of the Order of Marcus. Cornelius is tasked with the preparations required to assure the return from exile and back to the continent for the Order. He will need to make use of his subtle skills and scout the shores for a perfect landing site. Cornelius may be an expert of stalking his enemies from the shadow, but that doesn't mean he'll avoid a fight or that he won't fare well in it.

Elven Legacy: Ranger will require the original Elven Legacy game to run, but Paradox has sweetened the deal, as the game will be available for half the original price. The limited time offer will only be available if you purchase it, as well as the expansion, and should be found at most major digital-download portals. The suggested price for the DLC is of €9.99 and $9.99. A bit of an unfair play, since there is a value difference between the euro and the dollar, but this is a practice most distributors use, so we can take comfort in the fact that everyone is ripping us off.

Elven Legacy is a fantasy-strategy game that makes use of a hex-grid gameplay. It follows the story of the races of Elves, Orcs, Humans, the Undead and Dwarves, as the struggle for power takes an unexpected turn among the kingdoms. The Orcs have been driven away from the land by the Humans, but they prepare now to return and reclaim what should have been theirs. The game received mixed reviews, but most critics agreed that the gameplay and the storyline were indeed very good.
