Etherlords 1 and 2 were great games when I was a child. Grab it if you like a Heroes of Might and Magic kind of exploration and a fighting system that works like a "cardgame". Your minions have atk and def stats and additionaly you cast spells. Also you have to "draw" these minions/spells in order to play them :)

I own but haven't played Eisenwald yet, but at this price I'm taking a chance on the Road to Iron Forest expansion.

They did that with the Linux version of the Metro games, which people still complain about. :P
They can't win.

PSA

If you are interested in the first Darksiders and haven't purchased it yet, you should consider it doing so within the week, as it might be the last time that this specific version of the game is sold. Come October 25, Nordic will release Darksiders Warmastered Edition which has a chance of completely replacing the previous version (if the Deathinitive Edition release of Darksiders 2 is any indication).

The 'Road to Iron Forest' took me about 6 hours to complete, which for ~ €1 is a very good offer.

Nothing this time, own all i want, but good promo.

I really would have hoped that there would have been a fix by now.

It is unfortunate that at times this is the Catch-22 of releasing "new" games on GOG: it will be released without DRM, but not in a playable patch.

I'm hoping GOG will do more in the future.

Not sure if it's a good news >.>

Can any blue person say why I apparently can't read?

It does? Where? I can't see it. Are you talking about Kingdom: The Far Reaches? That's not the same game.

Never mind. Saw it a couple days ago while searching for something else, and apparently I confused the titles. :)

It's $2.49 for me (50% off), which is more than 2 €. Has the price of it changed during the promo or is it really that much cheaper in Sweden?

I think it's a good moment for a small reminder:


Ghorpm’s "don’t miss this hidden gem" recommendation

Etherlords series

This is one of the best strategy games with card-based combat I’ve ever played. It can be enjoyed by both novice and hardcore players. On easier difficulties you don’t have to bother about building your deck too much. Just add some strong cards when you acquire them, make a few adjustments here and there and you should be fine. Don’t get me wrong though - the game will still be quite challenging as the combat is complex and you should use your cards wisely.

For more experienced players (and you can become one relatively fast by choosing auto battles and thus learning a lot of useful tricks!) rearranging your deck before every fight is the best fun you can imagine. Do your enemy come with a lot of weak and aggressive enemies? Invest heavily in defense and prepare for a war of attrition. Do you expect to see a rare but ultra-powerful monster on the field? Remember to take a few spells that can neutralize it. Is your opponent heavily guarded? Take a few spells that can bypass his defenses and directly hurt him. Does your enemy rely on monsters that get bonuses based on the number of a specific monster that are present on the battlefield? Take a lot of weak monsters to kill them before they get a chance to multiply their stats! Or you know what? Take similar monsters yourself and be first to accumulate a huge number of them! Individually they might be weak but if you manage to summon at least five of them they will be unstoppable!

Believe me, this is just the tip of the iceberg! There are more valid strategies waiting for you to be discovered! And don’t get overwhelmed - it may seem to be complicated and for a few battles it will probably be (and as a result you’ll get crushed) but after some short time you will start to understand how the things go. I can assure you the satisfaction is just enormous! Trying new techniques is extremely rewarding!

So what’s the difference between these two games? The first one plays more like a standard TBS game. You have a castle, hire heroes, capture resource producing sites, fight stationary monsters and enemy’s heroes. The second one is more story oriented - you have a single hero to control and you roam the map to gain experience, find new clues about your quest etc. Some prefer the former, others the latter. At that price I think you should really buy and play both of them. It’s not necessary to know the story of the first game to enjoy the second but it’s still beneficial.

TL;DR buy both Etherlords games

Hmmm Darksiders is on sale, interesting if the Warmastered Edition is coming to GoG. Guess I can hold of for now to re buy this franchise here.
