Fantasy strategy game. Build armies and summon monsters to conquer the world
Conquest of Elysium 3 (CoE3) is a streamlined turn based fantasystrategy game with a touch of rogue-like and the complex undertones ofthe Dominions series that is also developed by Illwinter GameDesign. While CoE3 appears to be a simple game with limited options atfirst glance, delving further into the game reveals a game of complexdecision making and risky endeavors.The main focus in CoE3 is that each race plays differently. Were nottalking about a unique building and unique unit, were talking aboutcompletely differently, with different mechanics and differentgoals. Perhaps youre playing a druid, focused on amassing a vastforest and jungle empire from which to harvest ingredients to summoncreatures of the woods with no practical need to conquer mines, orperhaps a dwarf, whos only concern are mines and produce units at aset rate every turn and focus almost entirely on upgrading those unitsto survive as long as possible, since they are so difficult toreplace. With 18 different factions that alone is enough to keep yourplay dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquerElysium. That isnt where it ends, however, there are 6 scenarios inwhich your game takes place that will help randomize the map. Thesescenarios range from a the early days of an agrarian world to a giantgleaming capital, which you can conquer, that spawns patrols of humanguards, to a fallen empire filled with the living dead and scarred bybattlefields and tombs. Theres also random events to contend with,from merchants to pillage to the very gates of the underworld openingportals to your realm, your hands will be full before you even makecontact with the enemy.In each game the objective is to defeat your enemies by relying on thestrengths of your chosen race. Combat in CoE3 is automatic to keepthings streamlined, but that doesnt make it non-strategic. Each unithas a desired "location" it wants to be in the battlefield. Archerswant to be in the rear, heavy infantry want to be in front. As you canimagine, putting together an army that has enough strength to protectthe powerful archers and spell casters in the rear is vital. It goesbeyond that though, as you must determine your enemys strengths andhopefully be able to counter their strategy. An army of a mere 10trolls is extremely dangerous, perhaps able to bring down a dragon,but they can only kill 10 creatures at once. An army of 50 small unitswill make short work of your trolls. However, an army with a wizardable to cast high level spell may completely destroy all 50 smallunits in one shot but would be unable to harm 10 trolls. Determiningthe strength and composition of an enemy army is a vital skill, andsince hitting in combat, damage, and even the very spells that will becast are randomized based on the abilities of each unit, every battleinvites potential disaster and a change of plans.Features:* Assassins that make an assassination attack before combat starts.* Catapults, Hill Giants and Rocs that can throw or drop boulders during sieges.* Immortal Liches and Vampires.* Regenerating trolls rise from the dead if they havent been killed too badly or their side lost.* Large worms that can swallow smaller enemies whole. Swallowed units take a few points of damage from digestion each round until they are freed.* Shape changers that looks like something else when seen by the enemies. * And many many more monsters and abilites....* Random maps* Random events, good and bad* 18 different classes* Spell system with 42 magic paths* Hotseat gameplay (multiple players on the same tablet)* Team play, you can be 2 players against the AI for example.* Made for tablets. A screen size of at least a 7 inch is recommendedImportant: While it is possible to play this game on a standard phone, you really need a large screen to be able to play it comfortably. A 7 inch screen or larger is recommended.This updates the game to version 3.27 to get the latest features from the pc version. It also fixes a problem that prevented the game from working on Android 7.0+.

i feel maybe i should rate lower because playing on the touch screen on a phone is pretty unwieldy. a great port would make some changes in that area, maybe. or maybe that might require redesigning the whole UI, which might not be viable for a game that isn't all that known. i an't say. but... i just connect a mouse and it's basically the pc experience. and the game itself more than makes up for that, i think. no other issues in the short time i tried it. works great.
Excellent game. I wish version 5 will be ported at some point as well
I've played hundreds of illwinter games on the pc and have gotten dozens of people addicted lol. I wish they'd port Dominions 5 with multi-player support to Android. that'd make my day :).
They don't make 'em like they used to. Wish there was more out there like this. One time fee for countless hours of fun. Really enjoying this purchase on Android.
I have alot of time in on both pc and android and the game works fine, just dont zoom out in the biggest map when you have discovered most of it, its slightly laggy, i wish there was multiplyer enabled or coe4 to come to Android i would love to defeat my friends with the hoeburgs.
Really fun random gen roguelike adventure game. Hope to see 4 or 5 one day added.
Complex but good game
Does not work properly on my phone and wasted my $$$
This game is not really much of a challenge..it would work alot better if it was just you against the neutrals and every race had a specific objective.the witches are trying to claim every ancient forest, the dwarfs every gold mine, the barons building prestige etc..you already have the demon gate, a random player appears out of nowhere..all the races could do this, the barbarians or orcs go on a rampage, the profit of ei or Baal suddenly appears, a demonolgist or necromancer suddenly appears.
