Masters of the Broken World (Eador 2)

[Misconnected]

Genesis isn't really Iron Man, it just penalises your overall score for reverting to an earlier state. Which I think is a pretty fantastic way to handle quicksaving. The only problem with Genesis' way of doing things, is that it doesn't let you run multiple campaigns simultaneously.

It does. Create a new profile and feel free to begin a new campaign with it.

Really? Well fuck me then. I've been all save-scummy & stuff to run 2 campaigns. Thanks Mondblut.

 

[Kaucukovnik]

Well, I'm of those who don't hesitate to reload anyway, but I like to see an approach that can make both "hardcore" and "casual" players happy. As I said, it would be interesting in many games to see some score measurement, just to see how wimpy I am. :D

So I would like to see more games do something similar. Glad the originator didn't drop the concept after all.

 

[Interesting]

What are you guys anxious for in Eador 2?

 

[Monocause]

The same game with better graphics a better-designed campaign and some convenience options?

I'd really love some added variety too. More items, locations to explore, stuff like that. But the basic game formula is already excellent.

 

[Malakal]

Shortened and more fulfilling campaign for sure. The old one just goes on and on without real progress. Also custom crafted maps. And new stuff if they decide to add it - units, spells etc.

[hoverdog]

That is very of them.

 

[DakaSha]

It really is. I almost feel bad using it...




But fuck it ^^

Meanwhile EA fucks their customers in the ass on a daily basis.

I guess EA's life support machine works off the electricity generated through friction caused by unlubricated anal sex.


...And suddenly their support of gay communities makes perfect sense.

 

[DakaSha]

Now I have to decide on a game.. Probably going to go for Imperialism 2. Really remember enjoying it.

Hmm Eador: Broken world and free gog game in one thread. Good thread

 

[Heresiarch]

What...pre order already? I've just conquered 12 shards and I don't know if I shall continue, or just wait for Eador 2...

 

[Dickie]

It's up for pre-order on Steam now and you get Genesis fo' free.

Also,

You’ll be able to try out the final beta build very soon via Steam regardless of pre-ordering the game.

Done preordered!

RPS seems to be impressed with it.

 

[Heresiarch]

They will send out keys for the final beta build on Friday.

Stay tuned here: http://snowbirdgames.com/?lang=en

I was hoping this would be about what was different from Genesis. Does anyone know the specifics on how they streamlined the campaign?

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Think i'll just stick to Genesis. There are not many reasons to get the new one. Especially if you prefer the oldschool gfx over 3d.

Much less filler conquests. Something happens in the astral after every shard, no more voids worth 2-3 shards in between stuff that matters. Somebody might actually finish the campaign now

Not "streamlined". Condensed.

 

[Raghar]

I'd finish the campaign, but other masters started to receive unfair advantages which killed suspension of disbelief. Also that garrison after garrison after garrison.

I've found over time that while I love the combat in KB/AOW/HOMM3, the overworld map ends up being really grindy, which is partly related to the fact that despite being pretty good at strategy games of all kinds I really suck at these. I'm also broke, so probably going to wait until I can get it for $10 or so, but will be interested in the Judgment of the Codex.
