It was only a matter of time before the Selentine Merchants ventured too far from their trade routes, over the South Seas, searching for rich lands that might lay beyond. But they were unprepared for the terrors they would awaken, and the devastation they would unleash upon the world of Etheria.

At first, the southern continent seemed a peaceful, idyllic place - warm and tropical. But that would soon change. Although rich in gold and silver, the Selentines soon met the inhabitants of this new land - snake-like creatures who called themselves Ssrathi and their land¡K Keshan. They were names that would come to be feared in later years.

The Selentines slew these first Ssrathi and took their gold, thinking them simple and primitive. But Nature too is simple and primitive, and it wields the most destructive powers and so it was with the Ssrathi. Their empire was large, their knowledge of magic extensive, and their Shaman-King, Iriki, was a creature whom even the Gods rightly feared.

  • Official Updates and Support: Players express a desire for official patches or updates to fix bugs and improve compatibility with modern systems.
  • Multiplayer Functionality: The lack of a stable and functional multiplayer system is a significant drawback, with many players recommending alternatives like the GOG version or community mods for a better experience.
  • Improved Graphics and Resolution Options: Users wish for enhanced graphical fidelity and support for modern resolutions, as the game does not scale well on newer hardware.
  • Original Gameplay Mechanics: Many players prefer the original mechanics of the game without the changes brought by the unofficial patch, particularly regarding unit summoning and gameplay balance.
