Description
A turn based strategy game set in a fantasy world.
Etherlords converts the world of trading card games to a computer game. The heroes in the game are the units you move around the strategic map, much like the
HoMM-series. But instead of having hordes of creatures following your hero, he/she is equipped with a deck of 15 cards. With these cards you can summon creatures and of course cast different spells. In the beginning you have only the standard set of cards available for your race (there are 4 different races), but as you capture different locations on the strategic map you can buy new more powerful cards. To buy cards you need resources, which you collect in the common strategy-gaming way (i.e. picking up resources just lying around or capturing mines).
Both the strategic map and the battlefield are fully in 3D with detailed 3D-effects.

Trivia
Another hurried Fishtank release. They forced Nival to release it before they were finished, so unfortunately, the multiplayer mode is restricted to two players :( Fishtank promises this will be patched in January 2002.
