An expansion box set titled Dark Millennium was later released, which included rules for psychic powers. Another trait of the game was the attention given to “special characters” representing specific individuals from the setting, who had access to equipment and abilities beyond those of regular units; the earlier edition only had three generic “heroic” profiles for each army: “champion”, “minor hero” and “major hero”. A player could spend up to 50% of their army points on a special character. Such heroic characters were so powerful that the second edition was nicknamed “Herohammer
