The ram! Get the ram to break that gate!
Now THAT feels like a raided county! Really, as dark as the theme may be, it is well-respected and offers quite some immersion into this invasion. Like Pirates of Belerion, the Skelmar Invasion DLC offers a new region, Ormance, which is ravaged by the Skelmars' raids. Unlike Arthes, which is supposed to be plunged into a civil war but the only visual clue are some refugee caravans (and mostly seen in another region), Ormance will have its fields burnt, its slain people lying unburied in the open, and many conflicting interests where each party thinks they know better what future should be shaped for the county. Honestly, I felt like removing one star considering how much hand-holding goes into the abilities and support you may unlock throughout this adventure. However like many tools in the game, they all fall to player decision: you may avoid using them. If you DO use them, you can get free food, free band-wide stats, in-combat assistance ranging from a free kill to extra allies (including some engaged) which won't be factored for the count of enemies; yes, a LOT of hand-holding is possible! Now if you opt out, you can still find some mean opponents (just you fail to finish them, only shaving a good share of their health... it's gonna hurt!), lengthy siege battles which sadly all felt the same but will have you lever your positioning and the manipulation of the rams against your troops' safety, and seemingly several possible endings for the county. You will be able to rebuild the county progressively, which really brings some life to it. This DLC is well-made, gives you your options depending what you're after gameplay-wise, and is definitely worth playing! A quick word of warning though: bug fixing may not pay salaries, but it's overall damaging the game's reputation. At time of writing, a major one (which may or may not happen) can prevent resolving some battles in this DLC. Hopefully the studios will seriously tackle that issue!
