Attention! "Heroes" out there!
Kiev, 27.04.06
GSC Game World gladly announces the launch of an open beta
version of Heroes of Annihilated Empires. It will take us yet
a few months before the release of episode one of the
trilogy, however we already give players a chance to get
their hands on the game.
This beta version will introduce gamers to the Aquador
universe, allow them to play hero stuff as a courageous elven
ranger Elhant, will put some challenging tasks before the
player aimed to rein the unruly undead and cut them any ways
to enslave the homeland-defending elves.
This beta version provides single-player experience of the
game and is spread on free-of-charge basis among a wide range
of gamers around the globe. The beta version is in
English.
As the time separating us from release still allows some
changes/corrections to be made in the game, we will be happy
to hear your comments, ideas and requests regarding the
project. The best place to make this type of contribution
will be the official game forum.

opposition of two popular genres - a real time strategy and a
role playing game. The game is set in a distant epoch yet
unexplored by mankind when our planet was inhabited by fairy
creatures abounding present-day legends and fantasy novels.
The unique gameplay allows blending two complete genres - RTS

build settlements, recruit armies of many thousands units or
to develop a single hero and make him strong enough as to
oppose entire armies alone.

storyline twists are described in detail in the five novels
by Ilya Novak, to be released alongside the game
