Game News Expeditions: Conquistador Sequel Announced

[Infinitron]

Tags: Logic Artists

2013's Expeditions: Conquistador was a game that sort of came and went, seemingly yet another relic of that increasingly murky early period of the Kickstarter RPG era. As far as anybody could tell, the game was not very successful, and developer Logic Artists moved on to other, very different projects. Something must have changed their minds about that, though, because they've just announced a sequel:

EXPEDITIONS: NEXT?!?!

Wow! Great news. But do try to get a better publisher this time, guys.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Vikings?

 

[felipepepe]

Would rather have a Marco Polo kind of adventure. Or Os Lusíadas - aka the portuguese Odyssey that media never gave a damn about.

But Expeditions: Odysseus would be damn cool too.

 

[Tigranes]

Fantastic news, the game deserved a sequel and it has my monay.

Vikings, Marco Polo, Odysseus, etc. would all be fine. My personal favourite is a bunch of disjointed Crusaders making their way back home (Part 1 in the Middle East with Byzantine, Arab, Christian factions, etc), but it will never happen.

Expeditions : xenophon march of the ten thousand

Awesome historical event for the connoisseur

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

expeditions: STRAYA

Unfortunately, for the last 4 centuries, the portuguese were more used to organize expeditions towards the nearest inn.

Which gives a good explanation why Portugal is the european superpower that we all know today.
É fodido, cara. É fodido mesmo.

 

[CyberWhale]

Would love something set in Africa.
Expeditions: Heart of Darkness.

 

[Bruma Hobo]

 

[Luka-boy]

As long as I can be a dick to natives/locals I'm okay with pretty much any setting

Also I'm gonna be silly and suggest Expeditions: Vietnam because I just remembered this old survival/exploration/action Amiga game:

 

[Ninjerk]

Expeditions: Jamestown, eat ur neighbors and ur wife. Dig holes to sleep in b/c you're incompetent :kwafuckyeah:

 

[Name]

Arctic? Moon? Mars?

 

[karnak]

Expeditions: Uranus

 

[Starwars]

Knew it was coming but awesome news nonetheless, really loved the first game!

 

[Grunker]

Can't wait. First one had major problems and especially the combat was too easy and too samey, but hopefully the sequal will improve on that while keeping the brilliant text adventure focus.

 

[Hobo Elf]

the time has come and so have I

 

[AN4RCHID]

Rad. The first game was very cool despite some technical issues. They've got my money unless they totally drop the ball on picking the setting.

 

[Ovplain]

Awesome!

 

[Morality Games]

About time.

Also putting out Expeditions: Anabasis (Xenophon and the Ten Thousand).

 

[Jaedar]

I feel I know the answer to this.

As I Portuguese Historian I can tell you the reason why nobody gives a damn about Os Lusíadas: because it's nowhere near as relevant as the Odyssey or the other classical epic poetry.

That said, there's a very awesome album by Savatage about the Portuguese discoveries and journey to India.

As a general rule, pretty much everything tough in Portuguese schools about our history is hyped up to be very important and epic and whatnot. But it's all BS. Our ABSOLUTE failure mid 16th century at politics is barely mentioned, our personal union with Spain is blown out of proportion, the battles against the French are spoken of as something very important (where in fact they were pathetic field battles), the whole Pink Map thingy in Africa was a huge flop by Portuguese failing monarchy, where they basically shot themselves in the foot (to the point where British History books barely mention, so puny an occurrence it was), and it's referred to as a grand conspiracy by the evil British to take our lands away from us, lands that were rightfully theirs...

In the meantime, stuff that really mattered goes unmentioned. Our third king was one of the most brilliant minds of his time and put Portugal, administratively speaking, in the forefront of Europe, the way our first king brilliantly dealt with Castille in his fight for independence is not studied at all, it's all "kill them heathen Muslims!", the way we managed to reach Japan and the eastern Asia before everyone, the role of our navy in our worldwide presence...

I guess it's the same everywhere though: History thought in schools is meant to breed love for the country. It's all BS.

Which gives a good explanation why Portugal is the european superpower that we all know today.

The thing is Portugal was never really a super power. We were a strong nation overseas, but we were never a proper Empire.

That said, the reason Portugal sucks today (even though far from alone on that) is because of a couple of centuries where politicians went for fuck ups after fuck ups. If we had jumped off the monarchic bandwagon some 30 years earlier and if Salazar had died sooner and his dictatorship been dismantled sooner, we'd be as good as any other European country.

Unfortunately, our dumb nationalistic ideals got in the way of development, and we dropped to the bottom of the list. Not that we were that far up it anyway.

The Brazilian Slaughter

 

[felipepepe]

K', fuck silly luso empire. Make Expeditions: Ipiranga, based on Brazil's legendary & epic battle for independence!

 

[skyst]

Oh, hell yes!

I thought Expeditions: Conquistador was fantastic and look forward to the next expedition. The crusades idea would be interesting and the title, Expeditions: Crusader, certainly holds similar sway to conquistador. Vikings would be cool, especially under a similar "loosely based on actual history" direction but with the next Banner Saga coming you need to question if two viking-based, turn-based, party-based isometric RPGs can exist in harmony.

My money is on a game related to either Lewis and Clark, Marco Polo or, perhaps David Livingstone.

much more interesting and fresh would be Expeditions: Bandeirantes.

(I guess its very unknown outside of huehueland)
