Tactics! Strategy! Adventure!

If you like your gaming to be a delicious melange of gaming style, mixing tactical combat with strategic management and a soupçon of classic "choose your own adventure" decision making, then games like Expeditions: Conquistador are a delightful break from the usual.

Set in the newly-discovered Americas, Expeditions: Conquistador gives you the opportunity to play through the discovery of a wondrous new land and peoples. In history, the choices that the conquistadors were ruthless and bloody and secured the Old World's place as the ruling power in these new lands. As you go through the intricately branching plot, you can choose to follow the path that history has laid out for you, or take a new direction and see how history plays out. With unique expedition members, random events that can completely change the circumstances your expedition is facing, dynamic trading system and economies, and even maps that are based on topological maps of the Dominican Republic and Mexico, this game's deep gameplay and high replayability will keep you entertained & engaged for hours.

A successful Kickstarted project, you can get Expeditions: Conquistador on GOG.com for just $17.99 for the first week, so if you're thinking about checking it out, don't wait!

JMich: TSA? Hm....
Glad to see a more detailed description instead of a numbered list this time :P
This is why I shouldn't let MDyzzle write newsposts when GDoc is out. ;)

I backed it when it was just a gleam in Logic Artists' eye. So thrilled it's come out! :)

Trilarion: This release looks promising. Could be the one game I buy close after release since a long time. Wishlisted. Now I am waiting for real playing reviews. How much turn based strategy is really inside? Looks a bit like Kings Bounty but without the fantasy part.
I'd suggest taking a look at something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKzdQgY7-FE

Crosmando: It should also be noted that although this game is "historical", it actually follows an alternate timeline in which the player's expedition from Spain beats Hernán Cortés' (the conquistador who actually did conquer Mexico) expedition to the New World. You don't play as any historical characters.
Still a somewhat historical setting :P

Pheace: Ow, now I remember this game, it was the one with the trailer with '30+ unique followers!', and then you saw 5+ people with the same picture :p

(naturally down to early build but funny nonetheless)

Schnuff: GOG is ruining my finances.

Can someone remember this game......it was for the C-64, you could explore unknown Africa in the time of
Dr. Livingston (you could even find him). For every discovery (like the Victoria Falls) you got fame and money.
I can't remember the name....guess it was from EA around the same time as The Bards Tale was released.

JMich: It wouldn't be 7 Cities of Gold, would it? Moment for link.
Edit: linky.
No, 7 Cities of Gold was the Americas. I had that game. :)

JMich: True, reading comprehension failure.

Edit: Any chance of seeing 7 Cities here?
No idea. I'd certainly be for it, as I recall it being a great game, but I think it would be hard sell even at $5.99.

Potzato: Can you tell me about replayability in this game ? In particular is there a lot of randomisation (loot, encounters, maps even ) ? Is the character/ party developpement meaningfull ?
There are a variety of different characters you have have in your party, and the choices you make in the story influence who you can have, so there are reasons to replay through. The storyline's supposed to be branching, but I'll admit that I've not played enough of it myself to have any idea how much that will influence the gameplay itself.

Elmofongo: Well can I ask:

Does it only take place in what is now Mexico, or all of Latin America and the Caribbean?
Mexico and the Dominican Republic. On moderately-accurate topical maps of the region.

Erich_Zann: Nice, eager to play this one tonight. Backer key redeemed, the natives will kneel.
By the way, you forgot the manual in the extras.

Novaesky: You can download the manual here in the meantime: http://logicartists.com/dl/ExpeditionsConquistadorGameManual.pdf
I thought I missed something :P

It's available as an extra now.
