Tomb World Scenario
Challenge yourself to complete this deadly new Scenario, where Heritor enemies create an onslaught of destruction. This scenario also includes a new multiplayer questline to allow more players to join in on the action.
‘The Forgotten’ NPC Faction:
Broken, insane, or otherwise unfit for Heritor’s utopian society, The Forgotten were never meant to be resurrected.
Threats to Your Empire:
Reapers are robotic assassins created long ago to destroy those who were friendly to the Heritor cause, but now hunt all who walk the planet. Equally deadly are the Megasow and Piglets, bio-engineered wildlife gone rabid after the fall of the Star Union, which will devour anything in sight.
Locations, Pick-Ups, & Mechanics:
Visit an Essence Gash or Es’Teq Well locations to supply new combat effects or abilities to your units.
