Eador: Masters of the Broken World – Sacred Gift DLC Released

In addition to releasing a new v1.4.0 patch for their turn-based strategy/RPG title Eador: Masters of the Broken World, the team at Snowbird Game Studios is celebrating the one-year release of the game by adding a free content update called “Sacred Gift”. It’s a highly ambitious update, complete with multiplayer support, seventeen new units, and more:

The DLC adds the long awaited shard multiplayer now you can challenge your friend over the shard’s reign, against each other only or with AI Masters.

Besides, we’ve added a set of 17 new units:

1. Ice Demon
2. Black Widow
3. Fire Giant
4. White Wizard
5. Black Wizard
6. Fire Dragon
7. Cursed Dragon
8. Storm Dragon
9. Succubus
10. Tainted Unicorn
11. Dark Treant
12. Desert Troll
13. Clay Golem
14. Crystal Golem
15. Obsidian Golem
16. Crystal Gargoyle
17. Obsidian Gargoyle

These units are based on the old ones but with new abilities. For example, Black widow can lay eggs in dead bodies of fallen enemies, letting it create new spiders; and Succubus gains a ‘˜Mental slave’ spell at level 10.

Looking back at our experience, it’s quite risky to state that the game is completely bug free. But we hope that today’s Eador can be considered beatable, playable and stable.

Thanks for being with us this year!
