From the same creator as Path of Achra comes a Conquest of Elysium inspired strategy game.

I've been fapping to a game like this for years. The other autobattlers like depth (save for CoE).

looks like 4x with detailed space combat.
i really like the thrusters all around chasis that move ships in space. Also i was like why there is flame in space, and then i thought: there is air leak in the hull. So yeah the damage model could be interesting.

on the other hand i think i will just skip this combats because i would be busy making my space empire powerful, and not engage in equal combats.

0:16 - colony module for different planters, looks like heavly inspired Master of Orion
0:17 - textile factory? - oh man... autotomatic governor.

From Battle Brothers creators, it gives below sentence have some credibility
Expect to permanently lose squad leaders and their squads, and prepare to adapt to constantly evolving situations on the battlefield.

Am i the only one who would like for once to be the Aliens and fight with humans?

You find extremely interesting games, @Taka-Haradin puolipeikko. Even if i dont have time to play them, i always enjoy watching trailers.
Hey I posted this a year earlier than that but Infin folded my Steam Nextfest thread into the steam sales and releases thread.

just play the demo, its mix of HMM3 and card game. There is only Lizard town. You play cards to cast spells or build structures. You hire units. There is wood and stone as resources. There is some Doom clock in top left corner, but i dont know what it does. Each card has 1 sentece of fluff, nothing special but gives some touch to the game. Combat is like in HMM5, hero attack but cannot be killed in combat. Strategic map is on one screen, and you travel from screen to screen, which is interesting. Graphic is readable, oversaturated colours are a bit jarring to eyes, except that its good (units are animated, and have details). Ofc female lizard hero, is an over sexualised slut with tits out (this doesn't make sense! lizard are not mammals! they are not feeding kids with milk).

Its quite fun.

Yeah, I really liked reading those demo impressions from other people. Saved me a lot of time avoiding buggy shit and helped curate my dusty, but growing eternal wishlist.

Speaking of demos this got one:
looks like 1 unit per hex!!

edit:
just play it. I dont like it. Too many text to read. Not much gameplay. You follow linear path. Doesnt click with me.

I think that demo is just a story introduction, if you look at the screenshots there are turn overs, an overworld movement grid, and maybe multiple heroes if the top right box means anything. So the full game might be more HoMM and less King's Bounty.
