Breezy, beautiful strategy madness!
(Based on 0.7.0) Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy conquest game in a high fantasy world currently going through a Neverending Story-esque apocalypse. Lets get the obvious out of the way: this is one of the most beautiful strategy games ever made. The music and voice talent match the quality of the visuals. The gameplay most resembles Warlords 3: Darklords Rising. You are conquering a map with a large amount of nodes (strongholds, hamlets, temples, etc), each of which has its own unique units you can recruit, and all of which can be upgraded to level 3 and house a defensive garrison. You don't build colonizers and found cities from scratch, you can only rebuild ruins. Other than your heroes, units don't gain XP. To facilitate conquering so many nodes without becoming exhausting, the battles are intentionally breezy affairs that are over in a few short minutes. The most important part is arranging your army's formation beforehand so archers are covered by infantry, slow troops are at the front, etc. Once the battle starts, your troops fight automatically, but you can pause at any time to play spell and tactic cards. The cards are just fancy buttons in this game. That there isn't any deckbuilder gameplay. Instead of watching a fireball icon fill up then clicking it, you drag a card. Same with recruiting infantry and upgrading nodes. Just pretty buttons. Heroes function like in Heroes of Might and Magic. Each army must have a hero leading it, heroes level up and gain random skills that can be upgraded to level 3. By necessity some heroes are the main fighters while others get put in charge of transporting fresh troops. Heroes don't get equipment, but they can find artifact caravans that give their armies passive bonuses when held in their reserve. There is currently a 5 mission fully voice-acted campaign with more missions to come. You can also generate random skirmish maps. The base game has 3 unique factions plus wildlife. This game is a delight!
