Conquest of elysium 5 review download#
Best of all, Mattias Westlund lets you legally download his music! The three games’ soundtracks are all simple, but beautiful. * I think the music in COE3 is pretty comparable to the Falsobordone/Dram music in Dominions. The Dwarf Queen not only has an unusual unit recruitment mechanic, but also very thematically emphasises securing mines. He almost feels like a supernatural guerrilla leader pair him with a mage for scrying, and he can wipe out isolated garrisons before disappearing into a friendly forest. The Troll King feels completely different - you have a handful of elite units, gold and iron are much less of a concern, and the forests are your friends. For example, the Warlock and the Senator look different at first glance - one guy harvests gems and summons elementals, while the other relies on waves and waves of legionaries - but they both boil down to ‘dudes who have to grab towns/mines in order to raise big, conventional armies’. * Variety – some factions are far, far more distinct than others. I think additional, exploration-focused victory conditions would really play to the game’s strengths I suggested these to Johan, so let’s see. * Completely agreed that the focus of this game is exploration I personally enjoy the early game a lot more than the late game. I just wish they’d have put a bit more text in this one, to flesh it out a tad more. I guess that’s because they’re so good at incorporating actual myths, as well as real world history into their games. Rather, I think that where a lot of games feature derivative, and frankly boring, fantasy worlds, Illwinter just nails it, time after time. I keep getting throwbacks to old trash fantasy novels I read when I was a kid (The Trolltooth Wars!). One of the things that makes me think of a roguelike, when I play the game, is how I can almost piece together an actual story in my head, while I play it, even though there’s hardly any text in the game. Did anyone complain about the lack of creature descriptions? Because if anything is missing from this game, that’s it, in my opinion.Īlso, while many of the creatures, spells, and possibly items, have clearly been taken from Dominions 3 (right down to the graphics), I have a distinct impression that this isn’t the Dominions world, but rather a different, albeit somewhat similar world, with it’s own history and so on. Now, I always listen to these things, while doing something else, so I don’t always catch all of what is said. That said, I enjoy listening to some of the old crew, as much as the next guy, and I wish those guys were on the show more often, but I’d have liked to hear your views on COE3, as well. In my opinion, it’s the best games podcast on the web, and of the very few I bother listening to.
You’re doing a great job with the podcast.
