Rage of Mages II: Necromancer is a role-playing game with real-time strategy elements developed by Nival for Windows. In Russia it came out first, in April 1999, as Allods 2: Master of Souls, published by 1C Company. Monolith Productions released it in Europe in July 1999 and in North America on 11 October 1999.
The game is the sequel to Rage of Mages and part of the Allods series, which later continued with Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul, Legends of Allods and Allods Online. It offers 43 missions and multiplayer for up to 16 players; the GOG description also counts more than 400 weapons, items, spells, objects and buildings and 80 unique foes.
Today the game is sold on GOG with both English and Russian audio and text, so either version can be played from one purchase.12
