   just finished playing as Frostling Undead for campaign 1. Very new type of playstyle and mechanics that adds so much more flavour to the game. Units such as beloved Frost Queens, Yetis, Ice Scalpers.. and new ones such as Banshees! (omg I so so love this new unit).. New spells and empire upgrades too! Such as corrupting mana nodes to become Undead nodes.. changing entire city to an Undead city.. trying out mission 2 of the DLC now.. playing as a Tigran Druid class. Gonna be epic with all those new tigran units capable of leaping and even transforming!
   
   There's also new artifacts.. damn many of them.. just got a mythical jewel that made me 40% physical immune for my main undead hero.. add that with lifesteal is damn OP!! yes artifacts farming is important in this game.. the higher the rarity the better.. remember that when you're playing campaign as artifacts can be brought over to the next mission.. other artifacts are a "seduce veil" - legendary artifact that can convert enemies.. an ice glove - capable of throwing ice balls! awesome isn't it?
   
   ... and cosmic happenings! just got one where it says "Blood Moon - +3 melee attack for all units for 4 turns" (with the entire landscape sort of drenched in red aura here and there.. just epic!
   
   performance wise the game has improved much more as well.. prev i couldn't play on "high" settings without some sort of lagginess (blame the SSAO). This time even on that my desktop is able to support nicely.
   
   gonna update this post more as I meet with more new content whilst playing. You won't be dissapointed buying this DLC that's for sure!… Expand

The new class and races are very fun to play, and it adds a staggering amount of new content (units, map locations, spells, a dwelling, and a new victory condition). I very highly recommend this expansion pack to anyone who enjoyed Age of Wonders 3, or to anyone who likes 4X or TBS games. This one is too good to pass up.… Expand

The expansion brings 2 new interesting races, 3 new specializations, the dark necromancer class, random events and lots of new places and other stuff. But for me is the new race relation system with the new race governance system (talent bonuses) and politics improvements the most important improvements. This expansion brings so much more content that it is well worth the price.… Expand

   The base game received a lot of acclaim for being the best battle simulator of all fantasy 4x games, perhaps all 4x games full stop!

   But it also received a lot of criticism, primarily about the lack of gameplay depth on the world map (and diplomacy). This expansion fixes 90% of those issues and adds a lot of other things nobody was expecting!
   
   An all round impressive and reinvigorating expansion!… Expand

   Eternal Lords is an expansion in a vein not seen for far too long - one that is priced criminally low for the amount of content that it adds.Eternal Lords is an expansion in a vein not seen for far too long - one that is priced criminally low for the amount of content that it adds.
   
   Throwing in one new class, the Necromancer, which plays vastly different to any of the 6 original new classes, two new races (Tigrans, fiery sun-worshipping cat people, and Frostlings, Icy Goblinoids who have interbred with a race of frost fey), several new mechanics (many of which build on some other new mechanics that were added in a FREE patch - such as the race relations feature) like Racial Governance, a new victory condition and lots of new content that plugs straight into the game's random map generator for a seamlessly expanded experience.
   
   I think the highest praise I can offer is that as I've been playing this expansion, it feels like it was always there, fitting in seamlessly to the game experience.… Expand

   I already loved the core game and the first expansion, but this one beats all of that.
   There are so many new features, so many changes (for balance and flavor) for all the existing content that it almost feels like an entirely new game!
   Race Relations, Race Governance, new dwelling, 2 new races, one new class, cosmic events, pbem, much much much better tooltips and overall better information and communication on everything, 3 new specializations, major balance changes for all existing classes and races and specializations including new abilities, new sites, new abilities, new items, new cosmetics for leaders, improved diplomacy, improved RMG, new scenarios, one new game mode and one new campaign.
   
   This expansion is loaded with awesome new stuff and it definitely is worth every freaking cent you could spend on it! (I got the game for my gf, her best friend, my best friend and my American friends and we are all playing pbem together and loving it!)
   
   I can't say when a game or expension has last fulfilled and actually surpassed my expectations as much as this one...… Expand
