About the game
In the epic saga of "Ballad of Fire," an expansion of Firesiege, players confront raging flames engulfing the city of Medda. As if the inferno weren't challenging enough, the fearsome Zagal, deploys grotesque creatures to swarm the citadel in an attempt to conquer it, the Dharn. The fate of the city lies squarely in the hands of the players as they resist the siege and reclaim control over the menacing sand creatures. This game version introduces several enhancements to the original core set: Joining the legion of Valkun is a new troop – the Valkun archers. With formidable prowess from a distance, they lack the strength to withstand formidable foes like the queens but make up for it with their deadly accuracy in dispatching enemies from afar. Additional command tiles, tokens, including flames and Dharn tokens, bombs, and a pivotal new element – a new Hero! Meet Nakra, the mysterious mercenary. Despite not being a Valkun, Nakra's enigmatic origins only add to his allure. Rescued by Norad, he defies the typical mercenary code by fighting not out of obligation but gratitude, aligning his efforts with the player's commands in the resistance against the Skreel horde within the battle-scarred streets of Medda. -description from publisher
