Epic War 2 has a better graphic design then Epic War 1. At first you will play with the Human Race. There are other two races that you can play once you manage to win all Human Race battles, but I'm going to let you discover them.
The Epic War 2 Human Race troops are:

• Barack :
  • Squire
  • Knight
  • Paladin


• Archers:
  • Archers
  • Crossbow men


• Academy:
  • Cleric
  • Wizard

There are also upgrades for the castle that gives you more hit point and upgrades for the tower that helps you by shooting more arrows.

This is the official description of Epic War 3 :
"Defeat your opponents in battle to conquer every spot on the board. Build and upgrade your deck, form a strategy, protect your castle, and crush all who stand in your way!"
So, the rules of the game have changed:
1. You don't have a shooting tower anymore
2. You have a hero now which you choose when the game starts
3. You use mana to cast spells not to raise creatures
4. You start with only one troop and one spell card and you discover many more cards during the game
5. You gain Experience points and gold after each battle. You use the gold to Upgrade your cards. Each Card has a Maximum level of 5.
6. There is a board with different colored castles and you have to conquer them all.
7. The troops are spawned automatically if you equip them in your deck of cards.

I reached Level 30 and gained 10 cards:

• 7 Troop Cards:
  • Zombie
  • Bomber
  • Taurus Warrior
  • Frost Giant
  • Centaur Archer
  • Healing Crystal
  • Magic Cannon


• 3 Magic Cards:
  • Healing Wave
  • Freeze Trap
  • Athena Protection

A brand new game indeed. What's changed in Epic War 4?
Well, you start with one hero, Viegraf the Red. But you can unlock 2 more heroes, Popo the Epic Dwarf and Simon the magician.
Once you managed to upgrade one hero to level 3, a new hero appears, Cassandra the Queen. And when you unlock all of Casandra's troops and Spell the final hero appears, Kara the Slayer, which, I think is the strongest of them all.
Rules:

• For a battle you can equip maximum 3 heroes
• Each hero can equip maximum 2 troops
• Foe a battle you can equip maximum 6 spells
• Each troop, hero and spell has a maximum upgrade of 5
• You can play 12 stages and 4 challenges with 3 different difficulty modes - normal, hard and epic

Epic War 4 Troops:

• Goblin
• Mad Bull
• Phantom Ghost
• Mighty Guardian
• Lord of Fire
• Sylph
• Pixie
• Succubus
• Sky Dragon
• Forest Hunter
• Elf Hunter
• Untamed Beast
• Were-Tiger
• Valkyrie
• Angel
• Orang Utan
• Dwarf Engineer
• Ka-Boom!
• Epic Tank
• Great Diablos

Epic War 4 Spells:

The last part (so far) of the sequel that is Epic War is called Epic War 5 - Hell's Gate.
You start by choosing your hero:

• Viegraf the Red - defensive and dynamic
• Queen Etheria - archer and healing spells
• Skull Knight - offensive and rage spells

I played with Skull Knight. Once you've chosen the hero you cannot change it only if you start over.
I managed to upgrade Skull Knight to the max and i finished the 12 main quests. So the I am not going to give you a complete list of the troops, which is a good thing because you will have to discover them on your own.
So, on with the changes:

• You have to chose from 3 heroes
• Each hero can carry 6 different troops
• Each troop has a number of 9 upgrades
• Each troop gains EXP point on it's own, if it is equipped in the hero's battle formation
• Each hero has a standard list of spells it can cast
• Almost every troop has a special skill that can be cast using the hero's mana points
• Each skill or spell that a hero or troop can cast is gained by leveling the hero or the specific troop
• In my opinion the graphics are far better then Epic War 4 but somehow I enjoyed playing Epic War 4 more the Epic War 5

Epic War 5 Troops:

• Little Hobbit - small and weak troop but there are many of them spawned


• Goblin - just like Hobbits but uglier


• Elf Hunter - archer, has a cool skill(Rain of Arrows)


• Elderly Wizard - magic attack


• Amazon - melee attack with slash skill


• Paladin - mounted troop, great attack and speed


• Centaurion - Archer, can create an archer tower that attacks nearby enemy troops


• Vampire Warrior - attacks and regenerates its health


• Troll - good health and attack, can create a wall


• Hell Raider - nice speed, good health and attack, can create wall


• Dwarf Engineer - archer


• Taurus Oxen - melee attack, can increase the attack power of allied troops


• Golem - huge health, nice attack skill but very very slow

Epic War is cool game and I recommend you to play it.
I really had fun playing this game and writing this article.
I would very much like to congratulate Rudy Sudarto (the project manager of this game) and its crew.
