Athel Tamarha

The Dungeon of Athel Tamarha is a unique campaign mechanic for the Yvresse faction in the Eye of the Vortex, Mortal Empires, and Immortal Empires.

Facilities[]

Athel Tamarha consists of facilities that confer different boons. Each facility is upgraded with the Warden's Supplies resource. Each upgrade also increases of the Ladrielle's Blessings resource used to boost the effectiveness of the Mists of Tor Yvresse.

The components are upgraded with the Warden's Supplies resource, which is gained from razing Greenskin settlements, indoctrinating or executing prisoners, promoting Mistwalker candidates, and completing quests.

The Dungeons[]

The Dungeons allows the player to capture enemy lords and heroes using the Warden's Cage ability in battle. Up to two characters can be held prisoner at a time. While being held, each prisoner will provide a Leadership bonus when fighting armies of their race, while incurring a Diplomatic Relations penalty with all factions of their race. Three possible actions can be taken with prisoners:

Indoctrinate: Releases the prisoner unharmed back to their faction. The player will gain vision of the faction and 5% of the faction's income per turn.
Execute: Kills or Wounds the prisoner, granting Eltharion and the player's lords and heroes with experience points and Warden's Supplies.
Interrogate: Grants Mistwalker units ability to Mirror the battle mechanic of the prisoner's race. The prisoner must remain imprisoned to keep the battle mechanics.

Notes[]

Prisoners will automatically be lost when their faction is destroyed or confederated. This will impart no bonuses for the player. Execute them before wiping a faction out is recommended.
Heroes that are a part of Garrison will not be captured along with Camp, Caravan Master and Convoy Overseer Lords.
Prisoners from Rebels and rogue armies will be immediately executed, as they are considered too insignificant. The player gets a bonus amount of money and supplies from the execution.
Capturing a faction's legendary lord will prevent them from being deployed, which will severely cripple them in the early to mid game when they have no other Immortal lords. This is extremely beneficial because Eltharion starts near 4 hostile Legendary Lords: Gorbad, Skrag, Skarbrand, N'Kari.
Executing Immortal characters will only Wound them instead, and they will respawn for their faction as normal.
