Conquest: Plans For The Game & Other Races
April 11, 2018 by dignity
Our friends at Para Bellum are back to talk to us about their future plans for Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings.
We talk about the four extra races that Para Bellum have in store for the game and the geopolitical effects they have on the world of Conquest. Ranging from the Socratic philosopher kings of the City States to the artisan castes of the Weavers.
The traits and motivations of these races are discussed within. There may also be some hints about where Conquest might go in terms of other formats...
So which of these races are you most looking forward to playing as?
Jutting bloody marvelous really!
I’ve seen your latest updates in your painting threads on another site. Fantastic work on those drones. I love your colour choice for them.
Thanks dude. I’m really enjoying them 🙂
How did you put your hands on seuch miniatures ??? You lucky one ! 😉
Lucky indeed. I just had the right conversation at the right time with the right person… It’s none commission, I’m none affiliated, they have no expectations from me, I’m just doing it for the love of the hobby… The fact that the games is pretty much everything I’m looking for in a game was simply a happy accident. Same with the lore. As its being reviled, piece by piece it’s ticking all my boxes.
The video was very interesting, especially their discussion on the game’s take on heroes. The fact that the game has not discussed individual characters yet was something I had noticed, and it was good to see them vocalise their reasons why. I know that a lot of people like named characters in wargames, but I personally never field them, as I’m more interested in coming up with my own leaders (and don’t find overly-powerful characters very interesting to start with). So I am very happy to see that this is not a game which requires players to field Hero X… Read more »
Another excellent video and I have to say again I do love their approach and enthusiasm, enjoying absorbing all the lore.
It’s really good, as always ! Many french players reacted positively to the announce of the game, I’m myself looking forward to it.
About other continent and more advanced societies, I hope you will still keep the med fan vibe. But so far, so good ! 😉
I am really impressed by the scope and vision for Conquest, great narrative and twists on classical fantasy races. Hope that the unmentioned empire from the east will be Undead 🙂
Undead are definitely one of the future races. Weather or not the oriental empire is one in the same thing however, I’m not sure but I had similar thoughts.
The idea of animated terracotta warriors gave me chills 🙂
