Eador: Genesis

It got me totally addicted, unfortunately I dont have time for game addictions anymore as a fresh father. Whenever I can I play this game though. There are allready plenty of reviews that explain what kind of game this is, so im not going there. Just want to respond to the many people that said that even beginner is extremely hard. Since im no progamer, usually playing average or just above average skill level with turn based games these comments did scare me at first, but after playing the tutorial I started my campaign and it really wasnt hard at all. I allready moved up a difficulty level and its still easy! So I only made this review to say that the game certainly isnt that hard. Beginner tip: on the tiny and small maps start with a scout, build a forge and then the building that allows you to recruit swordsmen. Get 3 swordsman and start conquering the free settlements which are the easiest to capture provinces. Remember, always expand if possible. More land = more income.

Fantastic Game! I've attempted to get into HoMM3, AOW 1-3 and I've always found them boring. If you've ever played Warlords 3, back in the day, this game's like that times 10. Multiplayer is there, though the store page says different. Eador is very simple at first but hard to master later. It's a shame I only first learned about it here on GOG and not when it was released. Get this game!

Usually this type of game bores me after a while, and even thought this game dosen't feature eye candy like the latest games of its same old genre its way more enjoyable, creative and fun. Hats off to its creator... Dude you rule! :D

Second time I am playing this game , many years later.

If you love TBS games and have an old school mentality, Eador is fantastic. This game isn't pretty and it won't convert anyone to TBS due to the complexity of it; it also requires a lot of patience, but man does it pay off if you are the right sort! I think HOMM 3 finally has a rival. The campaign isn't my cup of tea, but the skirmishes are great fun!
