The first expansion to the legendary RTS in over a decade brings tons of new content, including a new civilization, a fully voice-acted campaign (English), new maps, and 12 new gods drawn from the robust Chinese pantheon! Hunt for dragons in the faraway mystical lands of China, fight demons and command good spirits on your side. Or would you rather command the demons? Fight for the grace of the Three Sovereigns, separate Yin from Yang and banish your enemies to the tenth layer of Hell.
