War Wind allows you to view this epic struggle through the eyes of four unique races, each with its own strengths, weaknesses and distinctive A.I.

And a story of such compelling depth you won't believe it's just a game. The Ancient, alien world of Yavain teeters on the brink of anarchy as the winds of change threaten to blow civilization asunder! For centuries, four diverse races have tolerated a precarious balance of power. But the time has come for change. A new order is in the wind - AND IT WILL BE BORN OF BLOOD AND FIRE!
