The knights can also hire fairies that belong to the chaos element. However, each faction can fall back on several schools of magic through its unit. To cast the spells, however, you need appropriate mana, which you generate through attacks by your units.įor example, many troops of the Arleon faction belong to the element of order, which then fills up the corresponding mana supply with their attacks. But this also works a little differently as well as each spell belongs to one of five elements. Your Wielder does not actively fight, but supports your troops with spells. This allows for new tactics where you can yield a safe position for more offensive power. For example, your ranged fighters deal more damage when firing from an elevated position, or when they are closer to the enemy. However, it is here where genre veterans will notice some new features: the terrain plays a much greater role in Songs of Conquest, because there are differences in height that have a direct effect on the combat. Here, your army (consisting of knights, rangers, undead, and other fantasy creatures) compete in turn-and-hex-map-based tactical battles. Secondly, when you encounter opponents, whether nasty beasts or enemy heroes/Wielders, the game switches to battlefield mode. And, just like the fantasy/strategy classics of yore, Songs of Conquest also belongs to the genre of turn-based tactics and/or real-time strategy games, of which there are two different levels.
They are tweaking a well-known formula quite cleverly with this experience. Songs of Conquest squarely hits me in those, “party like it’s 1999” feels for sure, and in this Early Access version, it’s quite clear that Lavapotion has something special brewing here. What Steam doesn't know, of course, is that 15 years prior to that, I spent at least double that time with the 1999 original and, in my mind, it certainly ranks among some of the other classics of that era such as Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, and Unreal Tournament. My Steam account claims that I’ve only spent 15 hours with HoM&M3 HD. The Swedish developer, Lavapotion, clearly feels the same way about HoM&M3 as their spiritual successor to that classic title, Songs of Conquest, is set to enter Early Access on May 10th and I, luckily, got to spend some time with this new title.
