Creating and developing a hero is definitely one of the driving forces behind the game. Add them to the various types of dwarves, elves, orcs, and so forth in the game and you've got a fantasy setting with tremendous variety and richness.Īnd you can play as any of these races in the game, not just as the units you'll lead but also as the hero who represents you in the game. The new insectoid Swarm are able to drain resources from the mines of other players while the Ssrathi have a giant Sun Temple that defends the area around with massive spells.
In addition to the interesting philosophical identities, resource requirements, tech trees and unit focus of each race, most also have some unique powers. The disease-laden Plaguelords are entirely new, as are the dinosaur-like Ssrathi and the numerous Swarm. The humans of old have been split into two distinct political factions this time, the cavalry-heavy Knights and the more generalist-minded Empire.
There are five new races in this sequel, bringing the combined total up to a billion playable races. The series has always been known for presenting lots and lots of playable races.
