The Highlands of Avalon DLC

The Highlands of Avalon DLC features a brand new island type (the Highlands) with new tile types, items, locations, enemies, and recruitable characters. Once the DLC is activated it will expand possibilities across the entire game, both in Campaign Mode and Director Mode. This is the first paid DLC after the release of The New Director which was a free DLC.

The Highlands

The Highlands Map Screen

The Highlands island type is surrounded by water and is the homeland of the Picts tribe. It is a very rocky island with higher and lower grounds, with valleys, hills, and lakes. It has unique locations like the Lake Serpent or the Giant Horn. Furthermore, the Highlands feature tiles of different heights, making it important to traverse the lands strategically.

Tiles

Climb or walk up a foothill

The main tile type of the highlands island is are the windswept plains. Some of them are higher in altitude and are called highland plains, while others are almost at sea level and are called lowland tiles. Most of the time there are steep hills between the lowland and highland tiles, but sometimes you'll find foothills that cost a lot less sanity to climb.

Lake Serpent

The Lake Serpent

Sometimes you will find a Lake Serpent with a red aggro zone which means it will attack you if you are close to it. If you find a blue zone, however, it is a peaceful Lake Serpent. You can approach it and give it something. It will dive underwater and give you something in return. (1 image)

Precious Clydesdale Herd

You can hunt or tame one of the Clydesdale horses. For both, you have to perform a Dice Challenge. (1 image)
