Strategy

A fantasy turn-based strategy game by Ino-Co and a sequel to Fantasy Wars. Elven Legacy is set in the same world as its predecessor — the world, in which elves are trying to restore the former glory of their race. However, someone is trying to gain access to an ancient magic, their Great Tree, which grants the ability of reincarnation. The game features two independent campaigns, in which you can play as either the leader of the army of elves or the army of men, and a range of bonus missions, in which you can also lead e.g. the orcish forces. Compared to the first installment, the gameplay mechanics have stayed mostly the same. Elven Legacy, however, features new characters, unique abilities, spells, battle units, and artifacts. The AI algorithms have been upgraded and new available tactics have been added.
