SAGA MMO RTS Unleashes its First
Expansion: the Undead
SAGA launches a new faction for
the Brotherhood, with over 20 new units and an expansion to the SAGA world map
The first expansion to the SAGA MMO
RTS (by Silverlode Interactive) world adds 17 new Undead troops and 5 spells to
the core unit set and enables the Undead as a playable race. The Undead are a
fearless faction, featuring such powerful units as the self-regenerating Undead
Dragon, and the Lich, who dominates with his Terror ability, which breaks the
morale of even the most resilient foes. The Undead expansion also adds new
quests for players trying the new race, as well as a number of new quests
advancing the SAGA storyline for all races and factions.
SAGA has an ever-developing
storyline, with new quests and content added every other week; each faction has
a distinctive play style and back story. In the near future, Silverlode will
implement an innovative story system, where players’ choices will affect and
determine the direction and events of the ongoing saga.
With the unleashing of the Undead,
SAGA has now advanced to the Third Age. When SAGA first launched in March ‘08,
the five factions were at perpetual massive war, every faction for itself. In
the Second Age, the Elves, Dwarves, and Giants formed an allegiance called The
Order, determined to wipe out the darker factions…
The Orcs and Dark Elves were thus
compelled to form their own blood pact, known as the Brotherhood. Outnumbered
and under attack, the Brotherhood desperately schemed to release an Elder God,
the God of Death, from his Underworld prison, to join them against the Order.
They succeeded, and the Undead have now joined the Brotherhood, restoring the
balance. The Third Age has dawned.
The saga continues, and the story
will unfold as new quests and game features are added every week or two. Only
Silverlode Interactive president Jason Faller knows what will happen next, and
he’s keeping it close to his chest…
