CoE3 release
Well, CoE3 should be released tomorrow and I thought it may be nice if whoever wants to posts here when he gets it. Also can post which first class he's gonna play. How long lasted his first session and any and all impressions :)
I plan to play druid first and I expect my first playing session to last 5 mins. right before taking the kids to kindergarten :D |
Re: CoE3 release
I'm going random, take things as they come. My game will probably last 10 minutes.
|
Re: CoE3 release
I recommend Baron. Its the easiest to get grips on. Standard knights, longbow, swordsmen, pikes. Some mercenary mages show up.
But I admit that I rushed straight into my favorite one of Druid. Halfway thru the game I realized I had been doing it totally wrong. The poll Id like to see is... How many games will you play before you open the manual? |
Re: CoE3 release
I posted this over at desura...
I'll be going with Burgmeister first. In anticipation of CoE3 I've been playing the crap out of #2 and I'm interested in trying something a little different than what I've already been playing with. From what I've seen in Letsplays, AAR's and such, all of the classes have been added to/changed/improved enough to make them all feel fresh, but... c'mon. My first character is going to be named Bilbo. Whatchuknowabout Hobbits? |

Re: CoE3 release
LOL my Desura client says that the game "will be available to play in 0 days". Too bad they left out the # of minutes to release :)
I take it the release will be tomorrow after all - and probably after breakfast time Australia clock :p |
Re: CoE3 release
Yes, it would be. Midnight Central European time would be 1 AM here and something like 8 AM or 9 AM in Australia, depending on whether one lives on the east or west coast.

Re: CoE3 release
Already lost my first game with Pale Ones :-(
First important thing I learned: Banshees are deadly!!! |
Re: CoE3 release
The #coe3 channel on irc.gamesurge.net has already had an MP game.
Everyone allied against one maximum setting AI. They all seemed to have fun. |
Re: CoE3 release
The game is really fun.
|
Re: CoE3 release
Having a lot of fun so far, getting white screen flickers but this is not the only app to get that, something to do with my card [Radeon 4870].
Could really use an autosave feature sometimes... |
Re: CoE3 release
--autosave=DUH
will save the game to DUH every turn. Im not making fun of you. Thats really how I have it on mine because when I need it, thats what I am saying |
Re: CoE3 release
yeah the game is pretty much a blast right now. I played right through The Walking Dead without realizing it.
|
Re: CoE3 release
Seems fun, but I am unable to play it :-(
Got a strange graphics glitch which I can't seem to get around. Maybe something to do with my graphics card (Nvidia 560TI) and drivers (tried the old ones, newest ones and beta ones). Sigh. |
Re: CoE3 release
Got it and setting up WormLord the druid to conquer the dark ages ;)
Excellent work on the manual Edi. It's superb! |
Re: CoE3 release
Excellent Game!
I am currently going to set up a game using the editor to make a map around 75x75 and then to populate it with more farms,mines,villages etc. Then i am going to play as a baron against a team of two or three burgmeisters and another team of two or three bakemono's. The idea being that the additional resources will suit all parties (The burgmeisters will be able to add more hobur villages, the bakemono's will get extra troops from mines and my baron will get more conscripts. Should be a good game and create some decent size empires and armies. Again, congrats to the developers for such an easy to learn but deep game with so many varient ways of playing. |
Re: CoE3 release
hey, if you make a nice map feel free to share it :)
BTW, the coe3 forums are here: http://www.desura.com/games/conquest-of-elysium-3/forum Yes, the game is fun. It's like a simpler dom made for SP RPG. |
Re: CoE3 release
Ahhhh, fantastic! Can't wait to play it.
|
Re: CoE3 release
Do not know where I should post this. But, good job on the release and development of CoE3. Kudos Illwinter. I'm not going to get the game. But still good to see that Illwinter is still developing. Thanks for everything!
|
Re: CoE3 release
CoE3 is a great game! I am having a blast, and have enjoyed playing all of the factions I have tried so far. I am having a great epic game now as a Necromancer against a three-senator alliance of Romans.
|
Re: CoE3 release
PvK! Good to see you.
Have you tried any of the "Trial by Fire" challenges? Its on the forum for www.CoE-3.com Its been pretty popular. Im thinking maybe I should do something like it for Dom3 on www.Dom3Minions.com There are also some fun downloadable maps there. |
Re: CoE3 release
Hi Gandalf,
I just started trying the first "commoner" challenge from Trial By Fire, and it has been an addicting epic battle, which I think I am about to win, but it has taken like 20 years of game time. I ended up as a Cultist facing a Necromancer, and it was a long (fun) undertaking. PvK |
Re: CoE3 release
New game?
That's exciting. :) |
Re: CoE3 release
Very. Its Dom3 lite.
Much more solo game, much less micromanagment, and better Ais. Plus besides maps and mods, it supports scenarios. You can create downloadable maps with storys and quests and lairs and rewards and timed world-events. Just abit ago it was on sale on Steam for $2.5o but the ever promised Steaming Hordes have not yet showed up as promised. :( |
Re: CoE3 release
Greetings, GP.
Dom3 Lite might be just what the doctor ordered. Is it a game that can be MP? |
Re: CoE3 release
It CAN be. But so far the reactions to CoE3 MP have been rather like the reactions to Dom3 as a solo game. It might be ok as a blitz game in a chat room though.
It doesnt help that none of the MP beta testers showed up. |
Re: CoE3 release
CoE 3 might be thought of as Dom "Lite" but it's also fairly different in various ways. I have really enjoyed it. And yes, it can be played multi-player.
|
Re: CoE3 release
I do love the "Team" play. You can do so MUCH with your ally. Use their cities, use their libraries. Even the AI plays as a great team member.
|
Re: CoE3 release
Excellent. Thanks for the explanation.
|
Re: CoE3 release
The problem that CoE3 will face is that it's users are only a small portion of the 'gaming' population. I used to play Dwarf Fort and other non-graphics based, high learning curve games. These days, I come home from work and wouldn't dream of starting a game of dwarf fort or trying to learn how to play an in depth, complex game. Sometimes I do buy new games, but I just load them up and look at them, and think....wow, there's a lot to this game. Too bad I don't have the time or energy to learn it.
So....CoE4 needs to be more intuitive, and simplerer. And make it perty for the love of GOD! |
Re: CoE3 release
At the moment the biggest problem I see is that the niche CoE3 player base is actually a subset of the niche Dom3 player base. A niche of a niche. :)
The MP of CoE3 pretty much sucks unless you are hotseating or maybe blitzing in IRC. CoE3 is much better for solo, better AI, and supports scenarios. But its hard to get a subset of Dom3 diehards who want that. Many of them try it and are unhappy at the non-Dom3ness of it. On the other hand, it is on Steam. For years we have been promised that would give us the Steaming Horde of players. Im really hopeful of some NWNers or other migrants from scenario and campaign games. |
Re: CoE3 release
TODAY the Conquest of Elysium 3 game is on sale for 75% off on GamersGate.com which makes its price $2.50 US
And it was recently on sale for the same amount on Steam but I havent seen much from that. Maybe because there is no more Public Relations person for Illwinter. Speaking of lack of PR... Dominions 3 is on Greenlight trying to also get onto Steam. It did not pass last months roster so please everyone go vote for it and spread the word. :( |
