Root: The Underworld Expansion

New Factions. New Maps. Deeper Conflict in the Woodland Realm.

Delve beneath the forest floor and stir up new conflict with the Root: Underworld Expansion. Featuring two unique factions and two richly strategic maps, this expansion breathes new life into the battle for control of the woodland. Whether you’re building an empire beneath the surface or scheming in the shadows, this expansion adds fresh tactics, thrilling asymmetry, and even more depth to your Root experience.
Who will rise from the underworld to seize power above?

Lead the Great Underground Duchy, an imperial force that blends the construction prowess of the Marquise with the dynamic momentum of the Eyrie. Or embrace the mystery of the Corvid Conspiracy, sowing chaos through hidden plots and trickery. Then take the battle to two new maps: dig tunnels through rugged terrain on the Mountain map, or outmaneuver rivals using the ferry routes of the Lake map.
