About the game
The Basilean Legacy is a supplement for Mantic's Kings of War (KoW). KoW is a miniatures wargame set in a fantasy world and Basilean Legacy expands both setting's background and wargame by providing three new army lists. The new army lists are the Basilean Army (good aligned humans backed by angelic beings); Forces of Nature (neutral aligned fey and elementals) and Forces of the Abyss (evil aligned monsters and demons). In addition to the background information and new army lists, the supplement also expands magic artefacts and one of the original spells (Zap!) in the original KoW rules. These changes to magic provide additional variety in gameplay and approaches to magic strategy in the game. The supplement is available as a hard copy version and in electronic PDF format.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Kings of War: The Basilean Legacy for ages 10 and up.

The catalogue lists Kings of War: The Basilean Legacy as an expansion for Kings of War.
