There are eight different factions: life, death, order, chaos, air, earth, fire, water.Įach faction represents their element with their own set of units, heroes and spells. It's a set of five individual quests that revolve around stories unrelated to the main plot of the game. The Special Edition also contains the Legends of Urak quest pack. Heirs are obtained by befriending another faith, then conquering their great temple from a marauding party, in which case the faith becomes yours and their lord in turn becomes the heir. When a lord dies, the faith is removed from play, unless the player has obtained an 'heir'. They are like champions, but colored differently and have higher stats. Lords are the avatar character used by the player.

The other lords scramble to expand their ranks to defend themselves against this dark threat but also to once and for all destroy their lifelong nemesis. However, map editor was supplied.īalkoth, the lord of Death, has embarked on a campaign to destroy all other faiths in honor of the dark god Golgoth. LOM is notably different from other strategy games in that it has only one map, with each faith starting at a different location. The world is filled with wandering monsters and fixed buildings filled with monsters. The atmosphere of the game is high fantasy, loosely inspired by the works of Tolkien, as well as Dungeons and Dragons. Each religion has an opposite in the circle of life and the people of those faiths are bitter enemies. The people of this world worship one of eight religions. The game takes place in the land of Urak.
