## Description
Get ready to take Cloudspire's aerial warfare to a whole new level of chaos! Horizon's Wrath isn't just another faction; it's the introduction of a true flying fortress. The lore is gripping: imagine the survivors of an Ankarian race who lost everything in a devastating biological attack. Homeless and desperate, they turned their last hope—the colossal ship Horizon's Wrath—into a hub for aeronautic piracy. Now, they roam the skies, raiding the 'Source' from other islands to keep their engines roaring and their survival guaranteed.

On the table, this translates into mechanics that will shake up your game. Unlike other factions, you'll have the advantage of operating this mobile fortress, which acts as a dynamic base of operations. Additionally, the expansion introduces an upgrade system based on crew morale, adding a strategic layer where the psychological state of your army directly impacts your power. And if you love causing destruction, you'll adore the deadly cannonballs fired from the fortress, capable of shifting the tide of combat in seconds.

But the fun doesn't stop at competitive play. If you're a solo gamer or prefer teamwork, Horizon's Wrath delivers plenty of content. The expansion brings four challenging solo scenarios and two cooperative scenarios, making the Cloudspire experience far more versatile. It's the perfect addition for those who have already mastered the base game and want to test new attack and defense tactics in varied settings. Just a heads-up: since it's a game with significant text and complex rules, the language barrier can be a challenge if you don't have a translation, but the strategic depth makes every minute of study worth it.
