Bottlenecky and unstreamlined

Eador is one of the better games on GoG at heart, but some design choices bloat the amount of time maps should take by a factor of 2-4 while pigeonholing the player into tier-climbing strategies; this probably worsens at higher difficulties. * Tier-climbing and bottlenecks: There is no such thing as a viable "Zerg rush" strategy. Each player will typically hire a single hero unit on Turn 1, and only heroes are mobile; escalating costs prevent you from buying more early. Each hero can only hire so many troops, and heroes take time and resources to respawn. It is literally impossible to peck at a territory with repeated waves to wear them down, both because you may do 0-1 damage per hit, and because you do not have the option to retreat for reinforcements. Power leveling is strictly necessary. * Random events happen way too often, and there aren't enough different ones. You will quite often see the same event 6-10 times playing through a single map. There should be a wider variety, and they should happen much less often. Having the same 5 events every turn gets a bit tedious. * The restriction of only being able to build one building per turn forces every turn to drag out the game. Simultaneous constructions that take a while to complete would be more streamlined.

Some reviews describe modded game.

The game is very good, but some reviews on GOG talk about a *MODDED* game (with New Horizons) without honestly stating it. Case in point: a review below talks about "Grand Ratt". There's no Grand Ratt in Eador, but it shows up in description of ratmen, which a feature of the mod. The mod however may not be to everyone's taste: it also contains Sean Connery, Jim Carey and other famous actors as hero portraits. It has artwork copied from other games - such as centaurs from Heroes of Might and Magic 1, gnolls from HOMM3, dragonfly from HOMM3, (ancient) Behemoth from HOMM3...

It's fun, but the difficulty...

I have a lot of mixed feelings on this game. For one, it's a time vampire. It's all too easy to spend hour after hour on a single shard, trying to defeat the local lords. It gets a lot worse when you have to fight other masters on the larger maps. I don't mind the difficulty of the learning curve. Some things you just have to learn by dying. One thing I really like is how, as you conquer shards, you unlock the abilities to build new buildings, recruit new soldiers, learn more spells, etc. What I DON'T like is the difficulty settings themselves. I'm playing on beginner because I'm already spending five or six hours on a single shard, and I don't really want the hassle and grind of playing on hard levels. What's frustrating is, after spending six freaking hours attacking a shard, you finally get to the enemy's demesne, kill the hero and the army defending it and launch a siege. Two turns later, another hero shows up...and he has minotaurs in his army? That's like a level four soldier, but I can only recruit level two...I mean, what the hell? I was so furious, I rage-quit. I'm playing on beginner difficulty. I don't mind a challenge, but to have a beginner opponent with army units I won't be able to create until maybe ten or fifteen shards down the line? Hardly seems appropriate for beginner level. To be fair, this doesn't break the game. I still could win - if I resurrect my hero six turns later, rebuild my army and have my other two heroes conquer their way back to his demesne along with the third once he's resurrected. But after spending six hours on a single shard, the last thing I want to do is spend three more getting back to the point where I can win. It's a good game, but the difficulty level is way too imbalanced.

Buyers Beware

The game does not work on Win 7 64bit. To make it work, you have to create a custom power plan in the control panel that you have to activate before starting the game, also have to deactivate after you stop playing. This is ridiculous and even more ridiculous is that this hasnt been patched up by now. Im definitely not going to fiddle with the power options all the time for the sake of playing a game since this is not a good solution. Last but not least, GoG should be more careful with the description of the games they sell, this should not be sold as a game working on win 7.

I really wanted to like Eador

Eador seems like what one wants in a 4x. Lots to do/explore deep build trees, units, empire management. The problem however are significant, documentation is not adequate for any but the most determined TBS fan. This along with solid difficulty makes the learning curve very steep. In addition mandating iron man play is cruel especially with a campaign that can take a hundred hours bugs that can ruin your save file. Overall an ok game that the hard-core will love and will brutalize the more casual players.
