Song of Conquest: Idea of the Game

Carl, Game Designer: We felt like there weren’t any new games being released like what we used to play when we were younger. Games that combined adventure and strategy in a more available way and games like Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3 or Kings Bounty.

Those games are absolutely a big inspiration, but we like to see it more like a love letter than anything else. We’re also very inspired by many board games and more modern strategy games like Memoir 44, Twilight imperium, Dominion, Total war, Civ and many, many more.

The songs of conquest are the stories being told in and around the time of the game. Songs have always been a way of telling stories and enticing emotions, and we really like the idea of troubadours in taverns singing the stories of what the player has done. It started when we were working on the song that’s in the teaser trailer and we really liked the idea of having songs that will be about different parts of the game. The songs will be another layer of the campaign, another way of living and reliving that story.
