Overview:
The Eldritch Legion is comprised of demons and monstrous entities that invaded the Imperial realms with chaos and destruction, dedicated to the Old Gods. Each Legion has its unique capabilities, abilities and traits. However, they reside both in Outland and outside of their bases of operations; usually in the outskirts of Kaloria, Velyr, Rinascita, and more.

Pros:
  • Highly durable frontline warriors capable of using Cleaving Attack
  • Demonesses and Eredar provide utility support

  • Powerful units (Doom Guard, Flameguard, and Nether Dragons) are expensive and heavy armor takes damage against magic and pierce weapons
  • Heroes are fragile in early game

OKish however very Warcraft III faction inspired. There's some custom stuff but very little. There's also two units with Cleaving Attack reducing uniqueness and unit roles. Simple. If you want more reviews, you should participate in the The Grand...

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
