About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've already mastered the lands, skies, and seas of Heroes of Land, Air & Sea, it's time to hire some heavy-hitting reinforcements. The Mercenaries Expansion Pack #3 isn't a standalone game, but an expansion pack designed to inject new tactical variables into the board through powerful mercenaries. The concept is simple yet lethal: adding new figures and cards that bring distinct abilities to the table, forcing players to adapt their conquest and combat strategies.
In this pack, you'll find four new mercenaries, each with their own detailed miniature and corresponding ability card. The roster includes Hexeidonna the Gorgon, Beelzehide the Cultist, Daehorn the Druid, and Cthulyte the Doppelganger. Each of these characters brings a different flavor to the battles, allowing you to manipulate area influence or cause the necessary chaos to bring down your opponent's empire.
It's worth noting that this content was originally released as a 2018 Kickstarter exclusive, making it a highly coveted item for collectors and fans of the base game. If you enjoy wargames with a fantasy twist, imposing miniatures, and a bit of 'take that' where betrayal and strategy go hand in hand, these mercenaries are the perfect upgrade. They deepen the game's complexity, making player interactions even more dynamic and unpredictable. Get your army ready, hire the best mercenaries, and dominate the map with fresh combat tactics!
