Cthulhu Wars: Opener of the Way Expansion
Adds a new cosmic faction centered on an entity that alters the rules of promotion and movement. Units in this faction automatically promote after combat along a defined chain (cultists → mutants → abominations → elite children), and the elite units can break apart into multiple lower-tier units from the faction’s pool. Introduces unique one‑use spellbooks that provide powerful, single‑use effects, alongside other spells that enable ranged attacks, gate summons in enemy territories, and channeling Power into battles. Also grants the ability to move between gates without traversing intervening areas, creating sudden strategic shifts on the map.

Vic Granell8.0 Very good expansion, perhaps too good in the case of our game group. It is the only extra faction I own and the possibility of spawning anywhere gave my friend an ample way to victory with it.
