Windwalker introduces an unusual new faction, with Ithaqua, the god of outer space. His faction is the most powerful in the latest game, when his mighty army, powered by his spells and abilities Violent Winds, Howling and Ice Age, dominates the game. It also features the fearsome Gnoph-Kehs, powerful monsters whose cost decreases as they become more numerous, setting up a feedback loop that forces other players to take note.
In our playtests, Great Cthulhu is traditionally the most powerful faction in battle. But an end-game Ithaqua proved to be equal to or better than the Cthulhu demolition team. Players, knowing this, sometimes try to weaken Windwalker at the beginning of the game, but he proved to be extremely resilient. His followers are immune to capture, his Wendigos appear for free wherever a unit is killed in battle, and his little Big Old Man, Rhan-Tegoth, is eternal and almost impossible to kill.
Ithaqua himself is usually the last Grand Master to be awakened, but before that, Rhan-Tegoth's Grand Master proves to be a useful and lasting ally. If you are more interested in late prowess than early construction, this extension is for you.
