Or use your dreaded power on undead to achieve domination on those foul mortals, or get a revenge for your glorious orcish tribe against these puny human armies who dared stealing your land... stories are waiting to be told. Or maybe you want to challenge your friends or strangers on multiplayer epic fantasy battles.
