Content pack: Elspeth – Thrones of Decay. Immortal Empires ownership
- Included in Elspeth – Thrones of Decay, also available through the Thrones of Decay bundle. Theodore joins an existing Empire campaign through his recruitment missions. He is a Legendary Hero rather than a selectable campaign lord.
Joining an Empire campaign
Theodore’s recruitment belongs to the Empire’s Legendary Hero mission system. Follow his campaign missions to bring him into service; Wissenland & Nuln is his home association. DLC ownership and completing the recruitment objectives are separate parts of obtaining him.
He serves as the judicial champion of Countess Emmanuelle of Nuln. That background gives him a place alongside Elspeth’s faction, while his job in the army is fighting in melee.
Give a melee hero a specific target
Use Theodore to help deal with an enemy character or to reinforce a contested part of the line. Approach with supporting troops so he can fight a chosen opponent without being surrounded by an entire enemy formation.
In an Elspeth army, the guns and Death magic still need time and space to work. Keep Theodore’s engagement clear of your own rocket fire, and leave enough soldiers behind to stop a second threat reaching the artillery.
Building the army around him
Swordsmen supply bodies around a valuable hero, while a Helstorm Rocket Battery threatens enemy infantry farther away. Elspeth supplies spellcasting and her faction’s Gunnery School. Theodore complements those tools through close combat; he does not bring the school to another faction.
