Grow stronger turn, by turn.

Eador: Genesis, an impressive turn-based strategy with RPG elements, that sends you on a quest to conquer a shattered realm, is now available on GOG.com, for only $4.79! That's 20% off, this week only!

The world is no longer whole. All that remains are the islands of existence drifting aimlessly through the endless ocean of emptiness and oblivion. This broken realm houses many aspiring despots, hell-bent on uniting the floating shards of land under their own rule. There was, however, no single monarch who could achieve that feat since the time of the cataclysm. That won't stop you from trying, of course. Is it because you're even more hungry for power and wealth then your opponents? Or maybe you see a higher purpose in domination over Eador? Maybe you believe, that the world united under the rule of one strong leader will finally begin to heal? As one of the Masters, you're free to exercise your will however you see fit. But know this: history will judge you.

Eador: Genesis delivers a turn-based strategy experience inspired by the classics of the genre. It's a multi-layered game, equally stressing the importance of your kingdom's development and management, and your tactical battlefield abilities. There's also a strongly accented RPG element, that goes so well with the imaginatively crafted fantasy setting of the game. With over 170 structures to build, 80 magic spells to master, and 70 kinds of units to lead into the battle, each with its own goals and defining characteristic--this title will keep you busy for many long evenings.

Looking for a well-polished turn-based strategy game that's immersive, enthralling, and deep? Get Eador: Genesis, for only $4.79! That's 20% off until the promo ends on Tuesday, December 11, at 10:59AM GMT.
What are the features of this game. Does this have campaigns and missions or is this like a generated world? Is there a skirmish mode or a map editor? Is there any kind of multiplayer ? (The game card only has single player listed but we all know it can be wrong sometimes :D)

Fred_DM: so, is this going to be the only release today?

i already own the entire HOMM series. i have no need for further clones.
There are plenty of other distribution sites around. It's a shame they aren't drm free with the selection of games they have.
low rated

Fenixp: Funnily enough, I didn't see your reaction on Duke Nukem 3D clones when Shadow Warrior was released. Must have missed it.
difference is, i don't already have 7 Duke Nukem games, while i DO have 7 HOMM installments... besides, Shadow Warrior is a classic, and was made by the same team, so it can hardly be considered a "clone".
And my usual question

Replayability and Random Map generator? Is it like HoMM?
I read over at Polygon that this game is being re-developed as a 3d rts...bleh! I'm gonna buy this version. yamo can't play rts. yamo has no thumbs.
I thought I saw something somewhere that there was a Mac version. No Mac version goggy?

Elwin: There is "morality" system in game -> if you stick to evil units like orcs and use lots of necromancy, also pick "exploitation" choices in random events, you'll get less good events and moar disasters. Vice versa with being "good".
so, what's the up side (...how do you spell that thing?) of being "bad"? :)

lowyhong: Bought and downloading. Will post impressions in a few hours.
Look forward to it. :)

Seems like a pretty fun game. I like the art style and graphics.
Surprised they didn't use this opportunity to do a pre-order for Masters of a Broken World, along with selling Genesis

Looks like a pretty blatant Heroes of Might and Magic clone to me. Though I suppose I really shouldn't make that call until I've seen more than twelve screenshots.

You get cool evil units, you get cool necro units, you get short-term gain (e. g. when selling your vassals into slavery).

You say that like its a bad thing. I want MORE blatant Homm clones. Anyway, the first thing I thought was "FINALLY a worthy Master of Magic clone!"

Looks like Polygon got the real time and turn based strategy mixed up. It's very clearly a turn based game, even their own screenshots in their article should show them that ;)
