Two new Legendary Lords…

…with new quest chains, magic items and skill trees

New campaign mechanics and objectives

New Hero type for High Elves

New Lord type for Dark Elves

New battlefield units for both races

16 elite Regiments of Renown

Alarielle the Radiant
Commanding the High Elf faction of Averlorn, Alarielle’s power is that of nature itself. As she travels through the Elven lands, she brings great joy to the people, improving public order and reducing corruption. However, she is also subject to the Mortal World’s Torment; as Chaos seeps into the world, her battlefield powers wane. Only reducing and ridding of Chaos armies will return her to her full powers.

Alarielle is a mixed-lore Caster, with access to a blend of Life magic and High magic. She may embark on a quest for her Legendary Item, the Star of Averlorn, and may be upgraded to ride an Elven Steed, Barded Ithilmar Steed, and a Great Eagle. She can also recruit Forest Spirit units such as Dryads, Treekin and Treemen.

Alarielle also has a unique campaign mechanic called Defender of Ulthuan. It is her sacred duty to see that the inner and outer territories of the High Elves’ home are kept free of enemy occupation. While they remain clear, they bestow powerful benefits. Should invaders sully Ulthuan with their presence however, the Asur’s trust in Alarielle will fall, bringing a suite of negative effects.

Alarielle has access to a unique Rite: The Invocation of Lileath. Once active, this rite brings a suite of benefits to Handmaidens, Sisters of Averlorn and Dryads.

Crone Hellebron

Hellebron the Hag-Queen leads the forces of Har Ganeth, a uniquely murderous Dark Elf faction. She may periodically call a Death Night, expending slaves on a night of murderous rampage, to keep her powers strong. Failure to regularly hold these festivals will have a detrimental effect on Hellebron. As each Death Night is called, nearby Dark Elves undertake the Blood Voyage, raising an army in thrall to Crone Hellebron, and in whose post-battle rewards she shares.


Hellebron gains massive upkeep reductions to Witch Elves and Har Ganeth Executioners and Sisters of Slaughter, which she can also improve via her unique skill tree. She may embark on a quest for her twinned Legendary weapons, the Deathsword and the Cursed Blade, and may be upgraded to ride a Dark Steed, a Cauldron of Blood, and a Manticore.

Hellebron also has access to a unique new Dark Elf rite: Sacrifice to Drakira. Once active, this rite brings bonuses when fighting High Elves, a reduction in diplomatic relations with High Elves, and rank bonuses to both Death Hags and Witch Elf units.


Unique Units

Sisters of Averlorn (Alarielle)

Among Alarielle’s most loyal warriors, the Sisters of Averlorn are dual-role combatants, skilled with both blade and bow. Their Bows of Averlorn deal Magical Flaming attacks, and like many High Elf units, they are subject to Martial Prowess.


Shadow Warriors (Alarielle)
The first (and often last!) clue a foe gets to the presence of the Shadow Warriors is a ravaging hail of arrows tearing into their ranks. With Vanguard Deployment, Stalk, and long-range bows, they can remain undetected while raining death from afar. They are also Master Ambushers, enabling them to stay hidden on the move, in any terrain, while firing in any direction.


Sisters of Slaughter (Hellebron)
These murderous gladiators of death wield cruel lash-whips dealing poisonous attacks. They also cause Fear, are subject to Murderous Mastery, and can trigger the Trial of Blades augment when losing in melee, improving their combat abilities.


Doomfire Warlocks (Hellebron)
These elite, magical cavalry are very fast moving, and deal both Magical and Poisonous attacks in melee. They are subject to Murderous Prowess, and may cast two Bound Spells: Soulblight and Lesser Doombolt.

Unique Hero: Handmaiden (Alarielle)
Handmaidens act as the right hand of Alarielle. They have several unique specialisations available in their skill trees, enabling them to influence diplomacy, trade and influence, to bolster their resilience in battle, and to make them peerless archers.

Unique Lord: Supreme Sorceress (Hellebron)
Hellebron can field new caster Lords to lead her armies. Supreme Sorceresses may be recruited to wield the lores of Fire, Dark, Shadows, Beasts and Death. They can be given Names of Power to grant them new abilities, and upgraded to ride a range of mounts, from the Dark Steed to the Cold One, Dark Pegasus, Manticore and the mighty Black Dragon.

Heute gabs Blog für Zwerge. Hauptsächlich bla um ihre neue Schmiede, was doof ist ohne Bilder/Video.
https://www.totalwar.com/blog/updates-to-ungrim-ironfist-and-the-dwarfs-in-mortal-empires

Allerdings gabs noch folgendes
Norscans also have their eye on these treasures and they’ll be able to construct a new building in Skeggi, the major Norscan colony in Lustria, founded by Losteriksson.
Skeggi mit drittem LL also doch noch eine Zukunftsoption?

Finally, we have two that appear together: Sartosa. These are Smithy’s Tavern and Peg Street Pawnshop, with many races being able to make use of one or both of these buildings. And what’s more, we’re also adding Sartosa to the campaign map of Mortal Empires.
Das sie die ME Karte geringfügig ändern für Sartosa ist gut. Zwei gebäude+Änderung in der Region ist ein Indiz dafür das "Southern Realms" ggf. doch noch vernünftig umgesetzt werden.

Gesagt nicht, aber in dem DLC-gameplay vid sieht man den ME Auswahlbildschirm und da sind nur die 2 LL für Norsca. Ohne einen dritten der in der neuen Welt startet, kanns da kein spielbares Norsca geben. Immerhin dürften die Norsa als AI dann in Vortex rumturnen wo immer man sie unterbringen kann. Auch als proxy Hung oder Kurgan.
