En *Conquest of Elysium 4*, la estrategia por turnos de fantasía brilla por su variedad, con 20 facciones que ofrecen mecánicas y objetivos completamente distintos. Los druidas construyen vastos imperios forestales para recolectar ingredientes con los que invocar criaturas del bosque, obviando por completo la conquista de minas. Los enanos se centran en asegurar minas, produciendo unidades a ritmos fijos cada turno y mejorándolas para maximizar su resistencia, dada su escasez.
Mapas aleatorios, rituales iniciales y hechizos de combate garantizan una rejugabilidad total, junto a una fauna agresiva, eventos aleatorios como incursiones de bandidos o portales al inframundo, y seis planos como el reino infernal para demonios y diablos. Nuevos sistemas de combate, rituales y detalles de monstruos aportan profundidad a las batallas por el control del mapa. Los fans de la estrategia indie que buscan giros rogue-like y dinámicas centradas en facciones encontrarán desafíos tácticos infinitos.
Conquest of Elysium 4 is a quick turn based fantasy strategy game with a touch of rogue-like. The game is full of depth, details and monsters. There are also a huge number of factions, each with its own unique gameplay and magic rituals.
The main focus in CoE4 is that each race plays differently. We're not talking about a unique building and unique unit, we're talking about completely differently, with different mechanics and different goals. Perhaps you're playing a druid, focused on amassing a vast forest and jungle empire from which to harvest ingredients to summon creatures of the woods with no practical need to conquer mines. Perhaps you're a dwarf, who's only concern are mines and produce units at a set rate every turn, focused almost entirely on upgrading those units to survive as long as possible since they are so difficult to replace. With 20 different factions that alone is enough to keep your play dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquer Elysium.
New for the 4th version of Conquest of Elysium is the addition of different planes, many new rituals, monster descriptions, a completely new battle system, new random maps with varying temperatures and much more.
The game has six different planes. There is for instance an Infernal plane that is the home of the devils and the demons. So if a demonologist manages to summon a demon lord, there will suddenly be a dark citadel without its master in inferno. Banishing a devil will now force it back to inferno instead of slaying it permanently. Although extremely difficult it is possible to permanently destroy a demon lord by storming inferno and slaying it on that plane. Although there are many planes now you will only rarely have to visit them. But they continue to run in the background and can make certain actions or random events more exciting.
Most factions start with a random set of rituals, a random set of combat spell and together with the random map that will ensure that no two games are the same. More rituals and spells can be learned during the game if you have the right resources and find the right locations. In addition to the aggressive wildlife of Elysium there's also random events to contend with, from bumper harvests and bandits, to the very gates of the underworld opening into Elysium. Your hands will be full before you even make contact with the enemy.
