The first asset that the player starts with is the stronghold.

They may also seem “done-before” many times already, but there are nuances which make Eador: Genesis more special than the rest these will be described later. Of course, all these are easier said than done.

The player must successfully capture the strongholds of other players, a feat of which removes them from the map, while protecting his/her own. These decisions should contribute towards the player’s control of the map, the building-up of resources, the improvement of heroes and their armies, and eventually the cornering of opponents. There will be more elaboration on specific decisions later. However, the consequences of other decisions only come into being upon the player ending his/her/its turn. Decisions which build up provinces or the stronghold have immediate effects, as well as any decisions to recruit heroes or other units. The province which the player starts with is his/her/its stronghold, which the player must protect or lose the match.Īfterwards, each player takes his/her/its turn to make decisions on what to do. Depending on the size of the map, the starting point permutations vary between these. This is how most matches would look like upon starting - inky darkness surrounding the player's holdings.Įach player typically starts in one corner of the map, the halfway point along any edge of the map, or somewhere in the centre of the map. The map concerned is none other than a “shard”, which is a cluster of adjacent provinces. or player-controlled) for victory and control of a map – is the core of any gameplay mode. The match – which is a session in which the player competes with other players (A.I. Simply put, it takes backseat to the gameplay of Eador: Genesis. Unfortunately, such a seemingly epic story (which the game’s sales pitch itself mentioned) is bogged down by a lot of repetition and boring presentation, which will be described (much) further later. In the campaign, the player character had just started its reign from scratch, and must work to gather power before the extra-dimensional powers of Chaos overwhelms the remains of Eador. Speaking of the Astral plane, this is a dimension where immortal beings reside, and which serves as a convenient setting for the campaign mode and the gameplay mechanisms which are associated with that.Īnyway, these beings bicker and fight each other for the possession of the shards, which grant them the power to continue existing and, of course, obtain more shards in the hope of remaking Eador again (in their own image). There is some mystical hullabaloo which attempts to explain how they can still support life, that they appear as separate things in the Astral plane and such other fantastical things which would go over even the heads of veteran fantasy buffs. However, due to the ambitions of some who overreached their limits and the predations of otherworldly creatures (it is not certain which is more responsible), Eador was torn apart into pieces known as “shards”.įor the sake of simplicity, these shards should be considered as no more than just pieces of Eador which somehow still support life. The world which was Eador was once whole, with a formerly powerful and advanced civilization once ruling it. Most importantly, it would appear that support for the game would all but dry up, what with its “re-mastered” version, Eador: Master of the Broken World, seemingly taking up most of the developer’s time these days.Įador: Genesis’s story is not a new one, but it is a rare one indeed. Its campaign mode is also an exercise in repetition. Up until this time of writing, the game still lacks any multiplayer mode, despite the promise of one. However, it has issues fulfilling its own promises. As a result, Eador: Genesis is an incredibly sophisticated turn-based strategy game, and even more surprisingly, one which does not rely on random number generators too much. Snowbird apparently has many ideas for its game, which it implemented mostly well. By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: April 8, 2014Įador: Genesis is the brainchild of Russian developer Snowbird.
