SAGA Persistent MMO RTS Releases a Preview of Its New Undead Faction.


The first expansion set for the collectible game SAGA (www.playsaga.com) consists of a new faction with 17 unique Undead unit types plus a variety of spells specific to the Undead faction.

This brings the total number of SAGA factions to six, evening out the sides between the Brotherhood (Orcs and Dark-Elves) and the Order (Elves, Dwarves, and Giants); the Order are still desperately battling to keep Goth Azul (god of Death and Lord of the Undead) chained to the Underworld.

Three sites feature exclusive unit renders and strategies on ways to exploit each unit’s tactical strengths:

www.rpgvault.com covered four cavalry and two airborne Undead units, including the deadly Forsaken Dragon. The full article can be found at http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/888/888733p1.html

www.tentonhammer.com previewed the ranged undead contingent, led by the Liches, commanders of the Undead forces. The full article can be found at http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/38411

www.tcgplayer.com has the melee Undead, who like to get up close and personal; featuring the Abomination, the most gruesome fiend ever spawned in Silverlode’s studio. The full article can be found at http://www.tcgplayer.com/db/game_review.asp?AID=2477&PID=232&DBID=4

The Undead expansion is due to be released in Early August, both online and in hobby stores across North America and in select UK locations.
