Hearts of Rus

Your LIZARDS MUST DIE heroes join the general staff. When one of their armies goes into battle — or you challenge the lizards from Decisions — you fight that fight yourself in LIZARDS MUST DIE. Every lizard that falls in the duel strengthens (or, on a wipe, shames) that army.

What you get

• The Lizards of Herod rise in Tannu Tuva and declare war on their neighbours.
• Your owned heroes become generals, with names and portraits from your own LIZARDS MUST DIE.
• A 2½-minute duel in Battlegrounds; kills become a timed trait (from shame to Svarog's holy massacre).
• Challenge the Lizards every few days. Last Duel Result and the trait icon on that general show the bonus or penalty.

How to play Press Play. Melty enables the Hearts of Iron IV mod, starts LIZARDS MUST DIE to read your heroes, then starts Hearts of Iron IV. Start a new 1936 game and send a Bogatyr into battle, or open Decisions → Bogatyr Duels.
