Conquest of Elysium 3

Fantasy strategy game. Build armies and summon monsters to conquer the world

Conquest of Elysium 3 (CoE3) is a streamlined turn based fantasy

strategy game with a touch of rogue-like and the complex undertones of

the Dominions series that is also developed by Illwinter Game

Design. While CoE3 appears to be a simple game with limited options at

first glance, delving further into the game reveals a game of complex

decision making and risky endeavors.

The main focus in CoE3 is that each race plays differently. We're not

talking about a unique building and unique unit, we're talking about

completely differently, with different mechanics and different

goals. Perhaps you're playing a druid, focused on amassing a vast

forest and jungle empire from which to harvest ingredients to summon

creatures of the woods with no practical need to conquer mines, or

perhaps a dwarf, who's only concern are mines and produce units at a

set rate every turn and focus almost entirely on upgrading those units

to survive as long as possible, since they are so difficult to

replace. With 18 different factions that alone is enough to keep your

play dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquer

Elysium. That isn't where it ends, however, there are 6 scenarios in

which your game takes place that will help randomize the map. These

scenarios range from a the early days of an agrarian world to a giant

gleaming capital, which you can conquer, that spawns patrols of human

guards, to a fallen empire filled with the living dead and scarred by

battlefields and tombs. There's also random events to contend with,

from merchants to pillage to the very gates of the underworld opening

portals to your realm, your hands will be full before you even make

contact with the enemy.

In each game the objective is to defeat your enemies by relying on the

strengths of your chosen race. Combat in CoE3 is automatic to keep

things streamlined, but that doesn't make it non-strategic. Each unit

has a desired "location" it wants to be in the battlefield. Archers

want to be in the rear, heavy infantry want to be in front. As you can

imagine, putting together an army that has enough strength to protect

the powerful archers and spell casters in the rear is vital. It goes

beyond that though, as you must determine your enemy's strengths and

hopefully be able to counter their strategy. An army of a mere 10

trolls is extremely dangerous, perhaps able to bring down a dragon,

but they can only kill 10 creatures at once. An army of 50 small units

will make short work of your trolls. However, an army with a wizard

able to cast high level spell may completely destroy all 50 small

units in one shot but would be unable to harm 10 trolls. Determining

the strength and composition of an enemy army is a vital skill, and

since hitting in combat, damage, and even the very spells that will be

cast are randomized based on the abilities of each unit, every battle

invites potential disaster and a change of plans.
