    whispers in your ear

    “Eador Genesis New Horizons”

    http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?t=4724

    Its like HOM 3 but the campaign focuses on many short games played over a meta campaign where you gain the ability to build new buildings and units based on the “shards” you conquer (each “shard” is its own separate run through of a short HOM3 type game). There are “local lords” that will fight for control of the shard but the real problem is when other gods similar to yourself also try to stake a claim on a shard and you have to battle them.

    Eador Genesis is HARD af, but the New Horizons mod has been in development for years and it has grown the game into an extremely tight, challenging experience that you really ought to check out if you like HOM 3. The graphics are also wonderfully old school pixelated and simple like HOM 3’s are.

        It is a bit hard to find info on some of the units and mechanics but the underlying game is just so damn tight and the turn based combat is nail biting, so it is worth pushing through that annoyance.

        If you end up liking it but find it confusing feel free to reach out with questions, I have played a good bit of it.
