 The
precursor to the wildly popular
Dominions series...
Behold
the lands of Elysium before you! Marshal your armies, o
conqueror, and let all who would oppose you taste the steel and
flame that you wield. Let them tremble when your name is
whispered on the wind, and cower in their hovels when kissed by
your shadow. Go now, and make an empire in your image. Go now,
and let the conquest of Elysium begin!
Originally released in
1997, Conquest of Elysium II is a turn-based fantasy strategy
game, and the precursor to the wildly popular Dominions series.
As one of up to eight players (human, computer controlled, or a
mixture) your goal, as suggested in the title, is very simple:
total subjugation of all that do not fly your banner!
Choose your leader from
twenty distinct character classes, including brutal barbarians,
insane necromancers, mighty maharajas, sinister shamans, and
even the Agarthan king from Dominions 3! Each character allows
new strategies for the player to explore. The Priestess of Baal
can summon demonic creatures, change the weather, and sacrifice
the innocent. An Enchanter can create constructs out of corpses,
lakes, forests, and more. Barons can build siege towers, raise
levies, and keep his subjects in line, even in times of high
taxation.
The world itself is ever
changing with each new game. Worlds can be entirely randomly
created, or players can customize the world creation, tailoring
the world to the experience you want to play. Create maps that
range from small to large, from thick with trees and mountains
to barren steppes and plains, and even dictate the type of
society.
Much like the ages in
Dominions, Conquest of the Elysium II's societies alter how the
game unfolds. Play in the Dark Ages and find the ruins of lost
civilizations scattered about the lands, while mankind huddles
in tiny villages. Or mayhap the Empire suits your play style.
Great cities abound as man sprawls across the world, but trouble
brews in the north as barbarian hordes make their presence felt.
Each society reflects the strength of magic, the influence of
civilization, and the might of man.
When battle is joined it
is not only against those who are also seeking to command the
realms, but also against the foul denizens that answer to no
ruler. Numbering over three hundred unique types, the
independent creatures players will engage boast a total of one
hundred different special abilities, making each encounter new
and exciting.
Combine the twenty
character classes, the randomly generated worlds, over three
hundred monsters, and plenty of surprises, and you'll find that
Conquest of Elysium II is a game with hard drive staying power
that can be replayed again and again, providing players with an
unique experience each and every time.
And it's FREE! That's
right, all this action will not cost you a single dollar, peso,
euro, or pound. Consider it a gift from Illwinter Game Design
and Shrapnel Games. Now you can discover how one of the most
regarded fantasy series came to be.
