Dragonshard single-player demo - Strategy game

Dragonshard, a game developed by Liquid Entertainment, was introduced at the 2005 E3 Game Fair with a network of busy streets, dark underground dungeons and strange ways of playing.

The city network is vertical and horizontal as a chessboard where gamers will develop their base. Like in other real-time strategy games, you will have to develop base camps, expand your army and catch up with new technologies. But the difference in Dragonshard is that there is no technology "tree" - you can set up any building you want. In this mansion system, players can build up to 16 buildings of all types.

A new feature that Liquid decided to design was the creation of buildings that did not bring bonus points to the nearby estate. Instead, this activity will help your "leader" to gain more experience. In general, the open mode of the city system still allows gamers to freely set up armies any way you want.

When striding along the magical adventure miles, you will need a well-equipped force, including units of the "peak" level, called "champions of the army" (they are not up to level) Experiments that can take any weapon or armor during the operation of the campaign), along with units of a "medium" level are called "leaders". Leaders can level up experience and recruit soldiers.

Dragonshard takes place in the world of Eberron with prisons and monsters. The game has two main contexts: the ground and the underground cave system.

On the ground, you will enjoy exploring and invading territories by announcing the expansion of the border landmark (which will show up at a corner of the city with 4 points to build buildings), control points. Number of power, appropriating gem mines (the key resource in this game). An interesting fact is that whenever those gems are fully exploited, the world of Eberron will witness an extremely overwhelming "rain of gems".

In addition to the single player mode, gamers can also embark on a series of raids and freely choose one of the two factions, supporting the power of the two-headed ettin monster or the evil dwarf forces. . But regardless of the support to the force, the player still attracts allies on the battlefield, and of course the remaining groups will generate hostility.

And underground is a mysterious expedition for the brave generals. Here, the "clove" soldiers will not be sharp but only the champions of the army, the leader and a small number of high-level retainers accompany. In this underworld, there will be life-and-death battles to break out of dungeons, treasure hunts to satisfy the desire for wealth. However, there is nothing easy in this dark cave system - gamers will have to find a way to avoid aggressive enemies and deadly traps, even to solve tough puzzles. For example, a silent stone statue standing guard in a room with lots of doors will suddenly stir and give you "fatal" attacks when you try to enter the room.

However, if you like you will have control of some horny monsters. In addition to the forces of the dwarfs as mentioned above, players will have the opportunity to play the army of thunder dragon and Umbragen. The thunder dragon team consists of reptiles in infantry, chameleon, giant tortoises and pterosaurs. Umbragen is a cruel force and master of spells, including female priests, priests and lords.
