Description
These are black days for Urak. Evil envelops the land and the people cry out for a savior.

For a thousand years, peace reigned on the pastoral lands of Urak. Then forces of darkness, led by the evil sorcerer Balkoth, unleashed a nightmare of war and terrorism that destroyed the people and laid waste to the land. Now the cities are defenceless. The people are starving. The Great Temples of the land, once the centres of beauty and learning lie crumbling, overrun by worshippers of Balkoth. The people pray for a leader who can defeat Balkoth and end this nightmare. Are you that leader?
  • Includes the original Lords of Magic and the Legends of Urak expansion pack
  • A fine mix of the best qualities from Heroes of Might and Magic and Lords of the Realm
  • Addictive gameplay complete with exploration, combat, management and diplomacy

Great classic

Please make a patch for modern screen resolutions. Don't change anything else.

Excellent fun

Bit clunky to play but still a great game. Would have loved a sequel.

Great Game

Great Game, just seems like it was released early since there are repeated units. AI kinda sucks and the game relies on DEATH starting with a ton more units.

I loved this game back in the day

I'd like to love it again, but it's just too frustrating to play. I'd love to see a patch that would allow you to select screen resolution and adjust cursor speeds...
