Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes expansion announced

Stardock has announced a standalone expansion to Elemental: Fallen Enchantress with an interesting twist on the core game's mechanics.

In Legendary Heroes, the player doesn't go questing to find warriors to recruit; the heroes come to offer their services to the throne, depending on what choices the player has made in developing their kingdom.

The pack also includes additional monsters, champions, magic, tactical battle maps and larger general maps. Graphics have been overhauled and there's a new levelling system.

Legendary Heroes will launch in April, but those who pre-order will have beta access in March. The pack is $40, but just $20 to those who already own Fallen Enchantress - and free to those who picked up Elemental: War of Magic before November 2010.

Elemental: Fallen Enchantress launched in October, and was free to those who'd bought the very buggy launch version of the first Elemental game, which released in 2010.

Moe information on Legendary Heroes is available on the Elemental forum.
