GS: Give us an overview of the single-player campaign. Can we expect to see the Etheria storyline from Warlords IV continue? How is it being created and balanced for the great variety of different heroes and races that players can play?

SF: In some ways, the events of Battlecry III are a direct result of the story in Warlords IV. After Aravein, the dark elven sorceress, almost broke the veil between Etheria and the daemon realm, something new has found its way through. Etheria is already cursed with the Four Horsemen: Death, War, Famine, and Plague. This new creature is simply known as the Fifth Horseman, and everybody wants him gone!

Because we want to allow players to freely choose their race and class of hero, having a common foe like this really lends itself well to a game with lots of variety.
