Once, long ago, a young girl was given a box and told not to open it. For the "crime" of curiosity, she was locked away, but now she's broken free and has no intention of ever going back. Pandora's Wake is an expansion for Hoplomachus: Remastered featuring two brand-new arenas (including a remaster of the classic Hoplomachus Fa Mel Arena), each with their own unique game mode rules and units for solo and PvP play. This expansion also rounds out the combatants of Remastered by adding the Vesuvius faction, bringing it into cross-compatible parity with Hoplomachus: Victorum!
