SpellForce: Conquest of Eo - strategy RPG from Fantasy General 2 devs - Weaver's Realms expansion coming September 30th

[Serious_Business]

This game is definitively worth a couple of runs. I have 80h clocked in it, which was more than what I did with AoW4. The DLC is quite good as well. Doubtful they will do more, but it is a good product on its own.

 

[Lacrymas]

We didn't expect them to do the one DLC too, so I remain hopeful.

 

[Axioms]

They said they can't do more DLC unless the current one pays off.

Game is a solid 8.5/10 but it has a small potential audience.

It is difficult to convey the excellent gameplay with screenshots and videos. They don't do the game justice. My first reaction was "meh" when I saw it, and I thought it would be another poor attempt at capturing the feeling of classics like HoMM/AoW/Disciples. The way that they have intertwined interactions with factions, exploration of the map, and your progress is ingenious.

Just the very interesting and unique class system alone is fantastic for a game from a mainstream publisher.

Devs teased this on the Steam forums. Hopefully the stuff it ads is not disappointing.

 

[Lacrymas]

This game hasn't disappointed yet.

 

[Optimist]

Picked it up yesterday - I like it so far! I'm fully expecting my first run as a demonologist to crash and burn, but it's fun to mess around. I appreciate the characterisation of the Circle as not purely antagonistic, but very guildish and convinced of their right to rule.

How different are the starts in various areas?

I like that the devs are supposedly opening the game up for modding. I'm sure the game would get repetitive with third/ fourth playthrough, but if people start generating more content then it could be fun.

 

[Jaedar]

I have this on my wishlist, but I admit mostly for potential mp shenanigans.

Is it worth it now or should I wait for the complete goty edition somewhere down the line? (It's going in the backlog either way)

 

[Lacrymas]

The game was complete from the start, the demon DLC just expands it. You know, like expansions used to do back in the day.

How different are the starts in various areas?

Very. They not only determine what kind of units you have access to in the beginning, they also influence the difficulty (like it says it does) in an organic way.

 

[Dr1f7]

my question is how do they go from this (2019)

to this (2023)

granted it still looks light years better than AoW4 but seriously wtf?????????
it's on sale for $11 and i want to get it but every time i look at the screenshots i think it should be a f2p tablet game
feels like it would be a moral failure to support such blatant visual decline

 

[Lacrymas]

Not the same studio and it's a good game.

I remember this game being #1 on GoG when it launched. Not sure if GoG sales are significant enough to make a difference overall or at least for this particular game.

But since it appears to be getting a new DLC, it makes you wonder...

GoG is typically 10% or less of sales for the PC market. And 10% would be the higher end.

Yes, that's what 10% or less means. If 10% was not the high end, it would literally not be 10% or less.

What mp shenanigans? Conquest of Eo is single player only. Are you mixing this up with Spellforce 3, which has mp and coop-mp?

A new dlc is great news, and I'd love a second map or at least an extension of the map, although it is probably smaller in scope.

Judging from the short teaser trailer, there will be an extension of the map of some sort. At least I don't recognize the dwarf statue featured in it.

Man I really hope they add more to the map. It gets a little samey after a while. Of course I tend to binge strategy games intensely which is probably not the intended way to play, so this may partially be a problem of my own making.

The Steam achievements confirmed that randomly generated maps are coming in the next DLC.

Cool.

 

[covr]

Very nice. Too bad that is was not included in the release version of the game, I think it would boost the sales, as every major release had such option in vanilla.

 

[Axioms]

Wonder how the new school will be. I like the map stuff but only if we can have a big chonky size. Lemme get a map 4 times the size of the current map.

 

[krilcebre]

I doubt they'll add an option for such a big map, most of the games were finished before you even explored half of the current map. Awesome news btw, absolutely love this game.
