Conquest of Elysium 3

[ArkhanTheBlack]

Illwinter, the guys who made the infamous Dominions 3 strategy game, released a new game: Conquest of Elysium 3.

It has a more Civ-like style map with the typical squares, instead of the province system of Dominions 3. Though, it's more exploration and hero oriented than Civ which is more City & Empire building. It's not as hardcore like Dom3, but shares the lore (Doom Horrors!!! ). It's more less: Conquer the map with your evil necromancer and his army.

Might be interesting for people who like FFH2.
There's a nice AAR that shows a bit what you can expect from the game: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=48292

But beware, it's still an Indie game! Graphics are mostly better than Dom3, but they can still hardly challenge Crisis in the technical department.

I never had an infection problem with it. Nor do I see it from any of the other users.

By the way, the game is on sale 35% off for 1 week at Desura.com

I liked it (graphics aren't so important to me in a strategy game) but I felt it gets a bit repetitive after a while even though they tried to make every nation different in gameplay (though not as much as FFH2 IMO). Still, good value for $10!
