Illwinter is predominantly known for their epic magnum opus Dominions, which is also enjoying a resplendent fifth incarnation and probably the most credentialed contender for the title of “Most Complex Strategy Game of All Time”, with nothing remotely coming close to it in terms of sheer volume of content.

Your hands will be full before you even make contact with the enemy.This unassuming title screen hides a monster of a game.Ĭonquest of Elysium 5 ( CoE5) is the latest installment in a venerable series of adventure strategy games by Swedish developer Illwinter Game Design, a small team headed by Johan Karlsson (designer/programmer) and Kristoffer Osterman (designer/artist) with additional writing from Daniel Serra and music by Adrian von Zeigler. 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. More rituals and spells can be learned during the game if you have the right resources and find the right locations. Most factions start with a random set of rituals, a random set of combat spells and together with the random map that will ensure that no two games are the same. Beanstalks, rainbows and tall mountain spires allow ground-born armies to ascend to the clouds. From the clouds flying armies might descend upon the inhabitants of Elysium, only to take to the skies and retreat if their losses were significant. Among the new planes in CoE5 is the sky-realm above Elysium. But they continue to run in the background and make certain actions or random events more exciting. Although there are many planes you will only rarely have to visit them.

Although extremely difficult it is possible to permanently destroy a demon lord by storming inferno and slaying it on that plane. Banishing a devil will force it back to inferno instead of slaying it permanently. So if a demonologist manages to summon a demon lord, there will suddenly be a dark citadel without its master in inferno. There is for instance an Infernal plane that is the home of the devils and the demons.

New for the 5th version of Conquest of Elysium is four additional planes to interact with, boats and ports which enables players to travel to islands beyond the main continent of Elysium, three new factions, new rituals and summons for the existing factions, new battle maps for different fortifications, new independent factions that fight each other, new monsters, more and different random events, and much more. With 24 different factions that alone is enough to keep your play dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquer Elysium. Perhaps you are a Scourge Lord, who’s pyramids of power drain the very life force from Elysium and channel it to him and his Heralds. Perhaps you're a dwarf, who's only concern is 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. 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. We're not talking about a unique building here and a unique unit there, we're talking about completely different playstyles, with different mechanics and different goals. The main focus in the CoE series is that each race plays differently. There are also a huge number of factions, each with its own unique gameplay and magic rituals. The game is full of depth, details and monsters. Conquest of Elysium 5 is a quick turn based fantasy strategy game with a touch of rogue-like.
