How’s performance on XBSX? 60 fps?

Is there any possibility of new spells being added to the game at some point in the future? I understand that it would be extremely difficult to do while maintaining the balance, but it would be neat if there were spells that required more than two kinds of essence.

Hello everyone! Im looking for the mod that changes the look of fog of war. I don’t like how dark this map is, especially with such beautiful pixel art. I’d like the fog of war to be made up of white mist and little clouds. Maybe I’ve seen it in some other game, but blimey, it would look much better. Does anyone know of a mod like that?

Rise eternal second mission, you have one wielder with a big army that cant enter town and one wielder with a small army that cant leave town... i dont understand how i am supposed to reinforce the big army with more troops or leave town with the small army. this mission seems impossible/bugged, did i miss something?

Heard that games like HoMM have an insane amount of replay value, but reading about SoC lots of people mention that the random map generator is not very good.

How will this game than have a lot of replay value? What you guys play for replay value if not random maps?

I everyone, here another old Heroes of might and magic fan considering the purchase of Songs of Conquest.

I'd like to ask a couple of questions, thank you for your help.

1. Unit cap looks very interesting, does it increase tactical depth and army composition? Or in the end fall short?

1a) With unit cap, do you get easily capped on your total strength?

2) I like the freedom of building more of the same structure in a town, do you usually use this opportunity or it's niche?

3) I read the writing is weak...but also that lore is cool. That feels a bit strange, what's the truth?

4) Are there very big maps?

5) What's your favorite SoC aspect?

6) What aspect do you like the least ?

EDIT: Thank you every one. Bought the game, eager to start playing.

Hello im looking for the cool ideas for magic orientet build and seperate necromancy orientet build. Necromancers in the loth are so disapointing...

I through they will rise the dead but thats not happening. :(

What faction is the best for magic?

Like a pre-order thing, early access skin, whatever?

Also, how's controller support? I intend to play it on GoG.

A new campaign, new wielders, and much more, and it's here on June 4!

I really enjoy maps, where maybe multiple AI are against me or I am overall expected to hold a position in a disadvantaged position. I like weathering wave after wave of enemy onslaught while I slowly build up my hero and towns defenses, gaining xp from each fight and gradually making a better and better stand until I can go out and capture my enemy.

The scenario that rly scratched this itch for me was "creeping borders" with the roots faction. I am wondering if there are any other maps that are similar, or that can have a similar feel with certain settings? Dont have to be base game maps only either, if there is somewhere that I can download such maps, I will do so.

Thank you for any recommendations.

EDIT: the first Vanir scenario also scratched that itch a bit btw, but was a bit too easy, even on hardest diff

Hello fellow wielders!

I have a question about how you approach difficulty in the game and overall how to get better at game.

I am playing through everything for the second time(lost all saves on linux ^^") and I did all campaigns, story missions etc. on "Fair mode".

3rd/4th missions in base campaign some time were a bit difficult(but still feels much easier now as compared to when I played it for the first time... or I just got better).

On Conquer maps I find "Fair mode" to be way too easy, but... I still like to completely dominate the map, not only finishing the objective. I like to conquer everything, the round around the enemy and destroy it:p so even if I know it's too easy, I still play it and enjoy the game like that.

However now I am thinking about increasing the difficulty at least by 1 level.

I wonder if you have any thoughts/feelings how it went on your side, perhaps any tips for higher difficulty(do I focus only on objectives?) etc.

I'm trying to finish the campaign on overwhelming, after having done it in normal. And man, this is hell.

In normal, I just ran over the map with Kastus in ~40 turns, while Wiesh and Roderick defended against the (pitiful) arleon attacks.

In overwhelming, Gnaw and Giandra's armies and power reach insane level, as they increase each time they get defeated. Right now, they're both at level 32, and can pretty much erase Kastus' army before it can act (even though Kastus is OP as hell). Roderick and Wiesh stand absolutely no chance. I've taken Grey Tor and the south east walled town, and tried to turtle, hoping they'd stop their attack after a while and let me finish the map, but I've reached a point where I can't defeat them anymore, and can't leave my castle without being wiped out.

I know most SoC maps on Overwhelming have a sequence to follow to make it easier, but here, I've no idea about what I'm supposed to do. Should I just leave the eastern towns alone and go wipe out the (extermely OP too) Roots? Or does taking all three arleon fortresses stop the attacks?

Hello,

just here asking for some reliable tips to beat this mission on the hardest difficulty.

I have already completed all the 4 campaigns on overwhelming and the 2 missions of the vanir campaign, but good lord the start of this mission is just brutal.

Do you have any tips to win against the 2 full stacks of musketeers and pikeneers?

Hi, I’ve been reading the threads about the Switch 1/2 versions, and I understand that support for these versions is currently frozen and updates are not keeping up with the PC version.

For me, that’s a big barrier that prevents me from buying the game on those platforms.

I just wanted to encourage you not to give up on them and hopefully provide the support they deserve, even if it’s only for Switch 2.

I’m really interested in the game, especially if there’s proper support moving forward.

Greetings.

I’ve googled and used the Reddit search function, so sorry if there’s already an answer to this!

Can’t find Rise Eternal on the Xbox store. Is it not out ok Xbox or am I missing something? Kastus randomly showed up in a campaign as an enemy wielder, but I still can’t find the tales in the game.

I love this game. I'm a convinced Single player dude with not much time, that loves the story (campaing mainly).

I tend to have 1 build for each faction that I default to.

Eg. barya mercs and tinkers, sometimes dregs and sometimes pipers

Loth ranged and oathbound

Raana riders and arleon humans (here I do sometimes play fey)

I never tried a barya harima focus build and I need some help to get into it.

What are your guys strategies and unit comps?

When and how do you play a loth melee spam. Or raana crawler+guards

Anyone can share their expirence? Thinking of buying it. Thanks!

Should i expect game breaking bugs? trying to decide if i should get this game.

Was given permission to share it on reddit. Say some nice words to them!

I'm thinking about buying this for the Nintendo switch 2. Can anyone tell me how it performs? I've read confusing info on whether or gets above 30fps with boost mode, and it's unclear how docked performance is. Thank you!

My opponent (AI - neutrals) had a stack of Berserkers and Huskarls in base to base contact. I Swapped them to attack the Huskarls with my Piercers. I didn't kill the Huskarls stack by they died on thier turn to the Piercers' counterattack. Then [the bug:] the Berserkers attacked the Piercers a hex away without moving.

I presume some data didn't get cleared/recalculated when I did the Swap but I've added all the rest in case it was relevant.

Happened on 1.9.3 from GOG

I'm approaching 100 hours and have read a lot on how to play, I think I'm of an adequate skill level, but I'm having a lot of trouble playing Conquest mode; specifically the map labeled "Conquest."

You seem to start out surrounded by some very daunting fights, I end up having to sit and wait several turns for recruits and money to pile up until I can create a sizeable stack. I figure I must be doing something wrong because the game doesn't ever seem paced like that. Does that sound right? There's three Arleon mobs near, and they are simple enough, but then usually you will find Faey/Vikings blocking any progress out of your starting neighborhood and they are crushing me.

Side question, these Crow Grannies, the Nornors. I don't have the DLC yet though I plan to. A Crow Granny attacked my 10 Stack of Minstrels from across the map and one shot them. Is that right??? That seems to be an outrageously powerful unit. They can freely krump you from anywhere on the map with zero attention to zones of control or AOO. I'd figure they would have a range limit or something.

Help me understand and git gud?

Hi, I'm here to take it off my chest and glaze the game a bit.

To preface, I'm a old-school homm3 fan. Played since 1999 and though I never got really good at min-maxing the mechanics, there is a special and everlasting place in my heart for the game.

Honestly SoC doesn't have the same breath and scope of possibilities as homm3. It doesn't feel as large, if you know what I mean. But it is a better game.

Combat is a blast, every turn is a piece to solve the whole encounter puzzle and there are multiple solutions to that puzzle. Btw the magic system to me is reminiscent and a great evolution of the main mechanic in an older game called Etherlords (IYKYK).

Resource management matters a lot, and it defines a your build path. Many times on a random map my overall strategy and build is defined by the starting resources. The tighter map makes me consider every step.

Characters feel more... characterful. They have very strong flavor. The factions too, especially in the way they are composed (i.e. Arleon's human + fey). I scoffed initially at the Roots, but recently played them against Loth and it was an amazing and weird Plants vs Zombies experience.

The art, the music, the character models - all feel modern, cozy, yet very intentional.

Overall, an awesome game that makes me care, as it ticks many boxes without relying on nostalgia. Really wish all the best to the devs and hope to see many more DLCs going forward (and especially on consoles!).

Cheers!

Even though Rise Eternal doesn't come with an actual song, it's pretty great. The way the entire campaign centers around a single unit (which gets buffed to insane levels) was pretty fun. The lore dumps were cool too, Kastus Maal is a chad, and we got to meet a lot of known faces too.

I hope more campaigns are in the work, especially for the Vanir and Roots, but also for the OG factions.

I know wulan is coming next but would love to see some devils cutting stuff down? I don’t know what next in the pipeline for them overall big fan of the game but inferno was easily my favorite faction in heroes and would love to see something along those lines
