See more about this announcement after the jump. “Theocrats lead the masses by their hearts.

They heal, persuade, minister and convert. Their zealots are fiercely loyal, convinced that any action they perform will earn them a greater reward in the afterlife. Because Theocrats tend not to wield many directly offensive powers, it is tempting to believe Theocrats pose no threat. History has proven this to be foolishness. Many earthly kingdoms have fallen under relentless crusades where holy armies of martyrs, evangelists, templar knights, war shrines and angelic beings bring Armageddon to pagan lands.” -“Gifted Lords of the Third Age” by Ralinstone Pedant, ChroniclerĪge of Wonders III introduces RPG-style class-based character building to the strategy genre.
