Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })At first glance Eador (pronounced eh-ah-dOhr) may seem like Heroes of Might and Magic or Age of Wonders clone, but scratch the surface and you see a complex empire building game similar to Dominions, Civilization and (somehow) Europa Universalis. You simultaneously fight tactical battles not unlike King's Bounty or Age of Wonders; develop your home castle, build upgrades in provinces; keep an eye on population growth and mood; send your heroes on quests, to invade neighbouring provinces, into dungeons or to explore lands in search for resources; make alliances and trade with other players; buy and repair equipment or powerful artifacts for your heroes; learn and use rituals that affect the world and simple spells useful in battle; react to random events that influence the economy, world and your alignment... This is a big game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Campaign follows you, one of the Astral Lords, on a quest to gather shards of Eador. Each shard is independent world, and you have to fight other spiritual beings like you as well as local rulers to add it to your own big world. It gets much more complicate when you meet other Lords and realize the danger of global Chaos invasion that devours all that exists. The game gets progressively more complex as your unlock new buildings, units, spells, rituals, quests. Of course, you can start singleplayer or multiplayer game on a single map with everything unlocked. Main castle has more than 200 buildings, many of each are mutually exclusive, and you can forge alliances with many races that give you unique buildings and units, so there's much strategic thinking involved.Eador: Genesis was released in 2009 in Russia and nowhere else until December 2012 when it was released internationally via GOG. Eador: Masters of the Broken World is an Updated Re-release with 3D graphics and features that came out in 2013 and is available on Steam and GOG. The first expansion for Masters of the Broken World, Allied Forces was released June 2014, adding a swathe of new units, chiefly variants on the demihuman/humanoid units which can be recruited via an alliance. May 2016, a new expansion, Eador: Imperium was announced and placed on Steam Early Access.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Character list is in the works | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The main point of criticism for the Genesis campaign is how dragged out it feels - the battle for each individual shard can take very long time and the shards are very similar between each other with no unique features on them. Masters Of The Broken World tries to adress this by making intervals between plot events shorter and introducing new shard sub-types and terrain. | |

Order Versus Chaos | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: Major theme in the setting. The once whole world of Eador is now shattered into many shards that slowly get consumed by Chaos. Demons are the creatures of Chaos that seek to further this process, and establishing strong order on your shard is one way to deterr them. | |

Vancian Magic: Spells are organised into tiers and slots like units, must be selected inside a library - though once selected, they refresh between combat without needing a return trip to the library. There's also a strategic resource management element, with all spells except the most basic ones needing crystals to be cast. | |

Deal with the Devil: One random event for evil rulers is this, a devil will visit your castle and offer you random magical artifact in exchange of letting it construct a chaos gate in one of your provinces. Curiously, quite often the artifact turns out to be the Sword of Justice. | |

| Eador (Video Game) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: Building certain buildings or recruiting certain units will swing your karma meter one way or another (reflected in your statistics page with monikers such as "the Pure" or "the Dark"). With chaotic or necromantic spells, simply casting them gives you negative karma each time. | |

| Eador (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Foreign units that you get from allying with any non-human race are arguably this. Sure, these units give you a better alternative to some of your castle units, but almost all of them belong to Tier 1, and perfroming the quest necessary to get them can be very tricky, time-consuming and may require considerable amount of luck. Unless you rush, by the time you get them the match has probably reached the point when they don't really matter. Of course, there are reasons to form an alliance besides getting a new unit. | |

Beef Gate | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_30bf3ff4 | comment |
To elaborate - provinces are classified by "ring," i.e. how many concentric rings from a starting province it is. Province guards and dungeon denizens in ring 1, the adjacent provinces, are notably weaker than those in ring 2 (and those in ring 2 weaker than ring 3 etc), encouraging you to conquer every province adjacent to your starting hex before advancing to ring 2. Note that every player, including the AI, faces this sort of Beef Gate on every map, meaning that expansion gets progressively harder as you move outward from your capital - until you're halfway between your capital and someone else's, at which point it gets easier again. Of course, unless your opponent has been napping, you'll probably encounter his border around the halfway point too... | |

Legend Fades to Myth | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_31d6fd00 | comment |
Legend Fades to Myth: On the material plane, so much time has passed from the Cataclysm that this event is considered nothing more than a legend by mortal races. Most people don't even believe that Eador was once whole, and think that it has always been broken into shards. On the Astral Plane, where time works differently, things are not much better. Only a very few counted witnessed the Cataclysm, and among those few even less know the truth of what actually happened. | |

Geo Effects | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_35a24c16 | comment |
Geo Effects: Battle map can have forests, hills, swamps, lakes and mountains on it. Factoring the terrain into your tactics and using the advantages it provides is essential to victory. Masters Of The Broken World adds deserts to the roster. To go into more details, forests provide cover from ranged attack, hills improve counter-attack and increase skirmishers' range, swamps decrease defence. All of the above are difficult to pass, meaning they require additional movement points and stamina to cross. Some creatures are native to certain terrain types, and they get defence bonus when stationed on native terrain. Lakes and mountains are impassable to all except flying units. Terrain also plays part on the shard map - each province has its own terrain type, and it affects movement rates for that province, sites and strategic resource that may be found in the province, and the layout of the battle map. | |

Class and Level System | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_3698e0f | comment |
Class and Level System: For your recruitable heroes. You can recruit a Warrior, a Mage, a Commander and a Scout to be your chosen champion to lead your armies on any given shard (and can recruit more than one for extra cost). Each hero, upon reaching level 10, can choose whether to continue in his original class or dual-class into one of the other three classes. Since dual-classing is not symmetrical (i.e. Warrior -> Scout is not the same class as Scout -> Warrior), this gives a total of sixteen possible class combinations in Eador. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: Militiamen and Goblins, the most useless units in the game, who otherwise fit only as a fodder for your necromancers and demonologists or as a living shield for your more valuable troops. Militiamen, however, can learn some valuable perks that allow them to take a punch and live to tell the tale, and after reaching certain level they may get an option of turning into Spearmen, while retaining their experience and awards. Goblins, while never growing into frontline infantry, can also learn some very useful perks. Even more true for Goblins with the Allied Forces expansion enabled: they can promote into either Goblin Spitters (ranged poison units) or Goblin Alchemists (healers who can eventually learn a powerful tier 3 spell). | |

Non-Entity General: In-Universe. On each shard you invade you exist as an incorporeal presence that can speak to your subjects and sometimes perform some magical rituals, but cannot interact with the world in any other way. It is mentioned early on by Zarr that you can actually incarnate into a material body, but it is very difficult to do, requires a lot of energy and very impractical, as you have to be born and live your life and develop as a normal human at normal speed, and you don't get any special powers in your human form. So there's really no reason for you to do that. | |

| Eador (Video Game) / int_54eceae6 | comment |
Magic Is Evil: All units from sorcery family (shamans, sorcerers, etc.) have evil alignment. It should be noted that they are not necessary evil per se, but rather wilful and unscrupulous. This is reflected in them having only slightly evil alignment. However, warlocks (the top of the spellcasting family Tier 4 units) are an exception, their alignment is described as "Evil Incarnate." | |

Fragile Speedster: Pegasi, the only castle unit that has base speed of five, but they are very squishy for second tier units. Luckily, they have the First Aid skill that somewhat mitigates this. Fairies are the tier one example, being the only first tier unit with base speed of three (with the potential to eventually grow to five, but the lowest hitpoints, attack and counter-attack. | |

Pragmatic Villainy | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy. In handling of random events, the optimal path is usually being villainous early for the large short-term gains then working on population mood and karma once your treasury has fattened. Similarly, the best mix of spells and units tends to include both good and evil of both. | |

Sealed Badass in a Can | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_5cb5fe11 | comment |
Sealed Badass in a Can: Garros, Eador's god of war was one of the few gods who managed to survive the Cataclysm and the demons' hunt for them. Fittingly for a god of war, he accomplished this by virtue of being too tough for demons to destroy, so instead they sealed him in a certain magical artifact. Hint: it hangs from Doh-Gor's neck. | |

Save Scumming | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f | comment |
Save Scumming: In-Universe example. You can reverse time whenever things go wrong, stepping back one turn (for a loss in score) or going back to before you began fighting for the current shard (for a small but permanent loss of energy income). The score loss is eventually explained as the other masters (who can't do it) being annoyed at you "cheating". Incidentally, in Genesis, this is the only way to save scum without quitting and copying save directories as the game autosaves. | |

Nintendo Hard | |

Nintendo Hard: The game requires you to plan your macro strategy far in advance, and can be very brutal if you don't know what you're doing. Lampshaded by the game itself when it averts Easy-Mode Mockery - when you choose your initial difficulty level for the campaign, if you hover the cursor over the "Beginner" level (the easiest one), it will show you a tool-tip that says "A reasonable choice". On the other hand, the "Overlord" difficulty gives you "Don't even try!". | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: Played straight for both hero units and regulars. Warrior hero dominates the battlefield on low levels, and remains tough on high ones, but can easily be overwhelmed with clever tactics and sheer numbers. Wizard starts squishy, requires lots of crystals, skill and considerable and diverse array of spells to remain competitive, but things that high-level Wizards can do to enemy armies can be described only as obscene. As of regular units, while your melee fighters often get new perks that may seriously improve their performance, for caster units getting a new spell can make that unit exponentially more useful and even change the unit's role on the battlefield. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: You can resurrect your fallen heroes as often as you like, provided you can pay the required price in gold and crystals. The prices get progressively steeper the more levels your hero has, and unless you can pay the price then and there, the hero's body must be delivered back to your capital first before you get the option to resurrect them again. This can take very long, so it's better to keep your heroes alive. Additionaly, the "Resurrection" and "Reincarnation" spells allow you to bring your units back to life right on the battlefield, and the Champion hero has this as a class ability. | |

Evil Pays Better | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_8aebbc74 | comment |
Evil Pays Better: Random events that occur on the shard map have good and evil options to resolve them. In most cases, being evil or oppressing the local populace comes with large amounts of gold or other resources attached. For instance, it's possible to encounter a halfling farmstead while exploring your province. Trading with them yields +1 gold/turn, imposing a tax yields +3 gold/turn, while plundering and razing the settlement yields 200-300 gold immediately. Given that most of the early maps are conquered in 100 turns or so, being kind or just will never pay off before the match ends and the only reason not to murder them all is to avoid the negative karma. | |

Having them as allies increases your income via farming and trading and allows you to recruit Halflings. As units, they're slingers (natch) and if promoted to Halfling Scout can learn an impressive array of abilities which grant great survivability: stealth, immunity to counter-attacks, high magic resistance, and ability to flee the attacks of stronger units. Amusingly, every party of adventurers will always include a halfling. | |

Artificial Stupidity: In Genesis, at least.

The most glaring example, perhaps, is if you besiege your opponents home province, it'll drop everything and send all of its heroes running hell-for-leather back home to try and lift the siege... even if at that moment it was besieging YOUR home province and was one turn away from breaching the walls. | |

Character Alignment: In-universe. Your character has specific alignment that changes during campaign and/or single map.

Also, army composed of creatures with different views on life will get major penalties to units' morale. | |

One-Man Army | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Most warriors end up being this. With high HP and damage they can destroy whole armies without any units. Mages and Rangers can be that too, though they're much more fragile and have to rely on specific tactics. Mages use summons and crowd-control spells while Rangers uses hit-and-run. Commanders, unlike others, benefit from skills affecting the entire army and can hire more troops, so they're almost useless on their own. | |

Lizard Folk: One of the races you can form an alliance with. They are one of more popular choices for an allied race, as they will deal with a ruler of any alignment (themselves being neutral) and their quest being relatively easy to perform. | |

| Eador (Video Game) / int_a9ea3c3c | comment |
Warrior Monk: Western type variety. We have monks of the White Eagle order, that even look like typical catholic monks. They can heal your troops and blast your enemies with holy powers granted to them by the Lord of Light, plus cast some support spells. Their senior cousins, Clerics, can do the same but better. | |

For the Evulz | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_adfd3165 | comment |
For the Evulz: Many choices during random events allow you to paint yourself as a cartoonishly evil villain, but two cases deserve special mention. During the event with a captured unicorn you can order to make cutlets out of it, and during the event with a captured mermaid you can similarily order to make a soup out of her. You are an incorporeal entity inhabiting the astral plane, so you physically cannot eat food. Besides, the unicorn cutlets taste terrible. However, in mermaid's case the soup option is the only one that allows you to gain something - the scales your cooks peel off her tail net you some gold or crystals. All other choices from her event give you nothing. | |

Armor-Piercing Attack | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_afc8ddc7 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Attack: Comes in two flavours - one that ignores fixed amount of opponent's close/ranged/magic defence and one that ignores half of it. Most units have either type, but heroes may combine two by having necessary skills with appropriate equipment. | |

Knight Templar: The Inquisition is implied to be this. It is possible to peacefully occupy Holy Lands-type provinces and leave Inquisitor guards in place, but this penalises province mood and also your karma. Furthermore, every Inquisitor group will include one Executioner, an evil-aligned unit. Since the other units are emphatically good aligned (healers, swordsmen, and especially monks), it's unclear what relationship the Inquisition has to the rest of the church of the Lord of Light. | |

Necromancer: Present as units, as heroes, and as Masters. "Necromancers" is a type of location guard composed of a mix of offensive spellcasters and undead, and the highest-tier offensive caster, the Warlock, has a skill which causes all units he kills to rise as skeletons. Wizard heroes can use the necromancy skill to raise undead and keep them in their army permanently: the Wizard/Scout multiclass is called a Necromancer and is extra good at it. Finally, two of the Astral Masters, Beleth and l'Anshar, are necromancers themselves. L'Anshar qualify, is also a lich. | |

Cannon Fodder | |

It should be noted that the game mechanics discourage using your troops as a Cannon Fodder - part of a total experience obtained for a sucesfull battle is equally divided among all troops, even dead and summoned ones (that disappear after battle), meaning that if you habitualy use your troops as a disposable meat, your surviving units will level slower. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Eador (Video Game) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Western-type variety. They like to hoard treasures, occasionally raid your settlements for tribute but usually just stick to their lairs, and they are, not surprisingly, the strongest single units in the game, being flying Lightning Bruisers with magical ranged attack and having magic immunity. Taking out even one can be tricky if you're not smart, and late in the game you can stumble upon sites guarded by EIGHT dragons at once. One of the Masters you may encounter is (or rather, was) a dragon. He has a bad temper and he can deploy dragons in his armies. Also, a rare defender contract allows you to hire a dragon to defend your province. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: Genesis gives you only one autosave slot in lieu of standard save system. However, at any moment you have the option to go back to previous turn and try some things differently, or go back to the Astral Plane to a point before you invaded current shard. This comes at a cost of lowering your total score for the shard in the former case and permanently lowering your energy income in the latter. In-Universe, you travel back in time when you do this. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: The number of units your heroes can lead is capped by their Leadership stat, and not only the total number is limited, but how many of your units can be of higher tier as well.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Nothing stops you from picking evil choices. Sell food for sky-high prices to starving provinces, sell bodies of those who died during epidemics to necromancers, make nifty trinkets out of captured magical creatures, rob your own provinces, take Cannon Fodder units in your army and turn them into undead or use as sacrifices to summon demons. Enjoy your evulz, as well as (usually much bigger) short-term rewards that may be more useful for you right now than the long term bonus and good karma points that the good choices give.
