Songs of Conquest: Am I a joke to you?
Yeah, Songs of Conquest is a joke.
I was gonna say!
I don't like SoC as much I like this one as this has autobattler elements. Reminds of me Total War games but on a smaller scale.
It honestly does seem to be presented as a joke.
Songs of conquest was a banger
Everyone's talking about the gorgeous art, but the first thing that caught my attention was the music. Apparently, Hitoshi Sakimoto, the composer for Final Fantasy Tactics, FF12, and Valkyria Chronicles has composed the music for this game. So no wonder the score is top notch.
yep I concur 🙂
horrible game just so you all know, I beat it, did not have any fun whatsoever
This is one of the most beautiful games we've seen in years. Super excited for this.
This has got a touch of Banner Saga to me
I see what you mean, but still very different
I think it's the bright color palettes as well as the blend of earth tones with pastel colors.
@@pratyushbehere3580 Yep, I did not express myself very well up there, I meant the art/music style
Wow, the art is gorgeous!
At first, the constant waves of enemy forces right off the bat kind of irked me as a long time HOMM player. But this actually makes having and maintaining a garrison an important aspect of winning the game, and I really appreciate that.
Check out Songs of Conquest. It's a true successor to HOMM.
To be honest, I didn't much care for how SoC played. Beautiful sprite art, but the factions felt flat to me.
Beautiful game, the style is just fantastic. Can't be enuff HoMM-style games. It's a itch that NEEDZ scratched.
such a cool looking game. The battle looks almost like Total War series to me. Added to wishlist. Also, one of my dogs name is Lorelai, so brownie points with me
There was a mobile game made by Lilith with similar gameplay. It is good that someone is making a single player so it doesn't cost a ton of money to play.
I find it funny and kinda suspicious that we already had Songs of Conquest as a new HOMM "clone" and now a new one called Songs of Silence appears :D
Gorgeous game!
Pleases my eyes much more than Songs of Conquest, tbh
very well stylized graphics. It looks gorgeous.
But I still think Songs of Conquest is the true successor. And whats up with naming all the games Songs of something?
Songs of Conquest, Songs of Syx, Songs of Silence.
Common ppl, creativity.
Tried to download, only wishlist.
Neat game!
Despite your enthusiasm for it, it sounds like both the ai and game rules need significant adjustment in addition to UI improvements being needed.
Very cool game. 100% on the radar now.
Lovely, this game speaks to me.
bro songs of conquest now this man someone out there is listening, now if only we could get a successor to bloodlines (not the potentially upcoming bloodlines 2 it looks to be garbage now), and maybe if the great cthulhu wills it we would get a new arcanum!!!!
The weapon at 18:05 is a staff-sling, or fustibalus in Latin. It's basically an upscaled sling that allows you to throw larger, heavier missiles farther, or lob them over walls and other obstacles.
alternately, it is like a small hand-held trebuchet, more or less.
@@sharkforce8147 Well, it's got the long lever and the sling at the end, but a trebuchet uses a counterweight, so it might be more accurate to compare it to a man-powered mangonel (something they actually had in the middle ages)... but really, if you think about it, it's just a particularly nasty lacrosse stick.
If you are a huge Nerd like me you call it a "Hoopak" lol
Arrrg! Forbidden Knowledge!@@leonadams8423
@@leonadams8423 Hoopak is a little different. They have a Y at the top, and impression I always got was that they're more Bart Simpson and less David vs Goliath.
Not even my style of game and I almost want to buy it just to support the artists involved.
Wtf how does this have better production value than the last HOMM? Insta buy on release from me. NGL if you told me this was done by a big studio I would have believed you.
Because ever since Ubisoft took over the HOMM IP, the people making final decisions on things have been bean counters and MBA psychos who only see video games as a tool to separate us idiot adult children that still play video games from our money, and "making a better game" means making a game that extracts more money from players at a lower development cost. That's the key to understanding shitty AAA developers: the businesspeople leading the show don't see gamers as customers to be taken seriously or treated with real respect, because they don't understand (or thoroughly misunderstand) why anyone would choose video games as a hobby.
Because expecting the very best production value from a corporate-owned AAA studio is like expecting the very best pizza from Domino’s.
Aww man, all this looks so good but ... an autobattler? That's a bummer.
For me at least.
I don't see it as HOMM at all. The combat has nothing to do with it. The management is a bit shallow, the heroes on HOMM are much more complex. The movement system doesn't compare much too.
Songs of conquest is a better game and a true heir to the Heroes name. This one is a good game, but it's not HOMM heir.
Jesus christ that game is absolutely gorgeous!!!
And seems like just such a nice take with a perfect mishmash of features from similar genres!
I concur. Been trying to find something new to play. Grim Dawn has worn my fingers out click click clicking. And I just can't take all the cutesy anime looking rpg games. I love anime but jeez.
@@user-xx3wo5oz7c thank you professor your input has been invaluable...
@@user-xx3wo5oz7c very online opinion
Ewww no... This isn't an heir to Heroes of Might and Magic at all! Yuck!
This shit isn't close to HoMM whatsoever
I absolutely love the art nouveau style illustrations for this game, that alone is enough to get me to play this!
And in today's 'What did Splatty not notice?" we have him completely not noticing that the big scary flower army to the north-east was Neutral, and he's now opened up another front with a new enemy! Hooray! 😅
All heresy must be purged!
It's called getting old.
and i thought the main thing he did not notice is that many V's he spoke were actually U's
@@horatiobumbleton-smythe9427 He was always like that. You know what they say, video games rot your brains.
@@Raziel1984 I thought the same but then how can you not notice that it's "gUiding star"? Surely he was just making fun of the font...right? Riiiight?? 😅
This game is gorgeous! I find the art style absolutely stunning. Maybe it reminds me of Disciples? Combat is real time too? i am hooked on this game. Thanks, Splat for giving me hope in videogames.
The art reminds me of John Dyer Baizley's (the frontman to the excellent band Baroness) artwork! Hella fricken sweet, man!
Looks like Midjourney
The art is really nice, reminds me of 70's - 80's art popular in comics and band artwork.
@@fragwagon That's what I thought too. I don't have a problem with it if it is though.
@@JustIn-mu3nl You mean 1870's and 80's? ;) Check out "art nouveau" if you're unfamiliar; Alphonse Mucha was a prominent artist in this style.
Baroness has the coolest album art.
The art style is cool, looks very much like Michael Mignola's work on the Fafhrd and Grey Mouser comic series!
it's Alphonse Mucha.
@@catriona_drummondwanted to write the same ;) love his style and modern reinterpretations of art nouveau
a little p craig russell too.
Spellforce Conquest of EO is really a true heir to HoMM3. However, this game has unreal art style, like holy shit it's good.
I will buy this one just for the art!
I'm very tempted to do that too.
Fantastic, reminds me of Giraud or Hermann's Bois-Maury
The artwork is so good. Big Alphonse Mucha vibes!
Why the stupid cards? Why not simple skills and activations!?
Reminds me of Banner Saga with art straight off of a cathedral's stained-glass window. Very nice.
Wishlisted it, looking real nice
I’m playing Might & Magic 6…I missed this retro game….
Highly recommend…
Voice acting, gameplay, graphics and aesthetic, all looks really tight
The art style you are so enamoured with Splattercat is quite similar to an 1850sto early1900s style called pre-Raphaelite. A style also copied by illustrators for higher end young adults' books on Robin Hood, Ivanhoe and the like.
The art style is very fantasy meets Alphonse Mucha. I kind of love it.
YOOOO this game looks awesome to play
buying this one just to support the art and battle engine. thanks cat
What a pretty game.
This is pretty promising, from the gameplay and art. I wish, for a glance, this is Disciples game.
I had heard about this game before, saw a bit of gameplay and knew I had to keep my eye on it. This looks amazing.
Reminds me a lot of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales. Which afaik was also inspired by Heroes Of Might And Magic.
This looks pretty good.
Ogre Battle 2023! Tarot card spells and everything!
It seems to be heavily inspired by Gustav Klimt's art
Agree!
I haven't seen any of Gustav Klimt's fantasy army work, I'm only familiar with his half-naked red-headed women with huge thighs work.
Mucha was our main inspiration for the game along with Klimt and some others so you have a good eye 🙂
Wishlisted for the artwork alone. it's a fantastic style!
Niice!
Any estimation for release date?
Or just another Early Access Hell, to fill our wishlists?
The narrator is Peter Marinker. He did narration for Anno 1800 and various other games. In case it was driving anyone else crazy.
This game looks pretty good. I like how they use the cards without making it a card game.
Be assured, it is not a card game/deck builder. As you can see in the video, in-short cards are abilities of your heroes that can be used to rebuild their realms and unleash powerful effects during battles. -cheers
Never seen a game use the art nouveau style before, cool
a simple google will provide you with dozens
hades? don't starve?
This looks interesting and lots of work's been done obsly, but... it's Total War Warhammer + Banner Saga visually to me rather than the HOMM.
The art is in the style of Art Nouveau, and looks a bit like Alphonse Mucha's art. Gameplay wise maybe i did not understood well the mechanics, but it felt quite simple. It feels like a game that could be good on the mobile.
looks like an amazing game :) i love it!
Not a fan of the art style tbh
I just found that the curator profile existed (at all) makes it so much easier to wishlist every single game that you recommend 😂
Pretty graphics and art, but I just don't like the "real time" armies all clash together play loop. Much more a fan of turn based strategy like Heroes is supposed to be.
the game is so good except the balancing
the range unit is too OP
fast attack and can attack from more than half of the battleground while the melee movespeed is so slow
I’m not sure I like the game play but the art and styling is amazing!
I really like the art style, the tarot card like interface, and also the way the screen zooms in from the world map to the battlefield. The auto battler gameplay is not a detriment to me at all. I didn't really like the turn based battles in HoMM. This looks really impressive.
I had this game in wishlist for a while now and I'm glad you're covering it
LOVE Love love the artwork. Very P. Craig Russell and Sam Keith
If I had a nickel for every HOMM successor called "songs of..." I would have a dime!
Splat straight up ignoring that armies don't regenerate after battle and going to lift the siege with his badly depleted main force
"this is suicide"
"this is suicide"
"this is suicide"
"I think I've got this."
after gathering my jaw from the floor, i can only say that it looks astonishing. both the color panel and the details are amazing and go wonderful together. the attention for the details it great, even little things like the turning faction discs on the end turn dial.
considering the apparent sun god culture of this faction and the feel and look of the formations on the battlefield it gives me a homm / warhammer crossover vibe
This just looks delicious
The graphics are awesome and the game looks real good, I'd love to give it a go
2:47 "The bird that once guided my mother now came to guide me." So, considering that her mother just died, it sounds to me like one of two things happened: 1. The bird is a terrible guide, or 2. the bird bitched out once the going got tough. XD
Lovely artwork! Reminds me a lot of Hero's Hour as well, but much prettier. I really like how far and seamless you can zoom in, from bird perspective to looking directly into armies and cities.
"Yeah, we'll save the King in a second, just give me a minute". No problem. 😎
Love the artstyle, great find
In D&D, those "slinger hockey sticks" are called "hoopaks".
Is that.... narrator from anno games?
I like the sound of this. Recently got addicted to autobattlers with Mechabellum
This game looks awesome reminds me of the hologram card game from adventure time
Thanks for covering this, it looks amazing, absolutely stunning artwork and interesting mechanics, Banner Saga inspired asthetic is a definite yes
Stunning game!
The artstyle kinda reminds me of Alfons Mucha.
Love the esthetic and reference to Mucha in artstyle, as well as the usage of German in naming of the places, sounds appropriate fantasy
Takes after Heroes of Might and Magic😍
Battles are autobattles😐
First holy celestial bird I've seen in a while...
No tactical combat -> No Heroes. Miss me with that card stuff.
ima give that a hard no
Would be an amazing mobile game. Thanks for sharing Splat!
Wow, this art is something else. And as you say, it's nice to see that the setting is not just medieval Europe again, as is typical for these games. It makes this title feel a bit special. After Heroe's Hour and playing the early access for Songs of Conquest, I feared that Songs of Silence (intentional naming??) might be tapping into an already saturated market, but the style of the game, including the tarot card aspect, make it it's own thing.
Thank you so much for your kind word. Our game’s name was designed to reflect our unique setting: The ‘Songs’ refer to the divine Hymn which is central to our world’s creation myth, and the ‘Silence’ describes the new era, in which this Hymn is fading from the worlds, and last the actual phenomenon of the Silence. -cheers
@@songsofsilencegame Maybe it would've been better to go with "Hymn of Silence" to avoid confusion with a title that also plays similarly. Oh well, too late fo that now.
Anyway, looking forward to the game. Again, stunningly beautiful. Respect.
I think one of the things I struggle with in these and strategy and 4x games is just... where are all these soldiers and people coming from? lol.
They are trained in special buildings and when they are ready - you can take them ;-)
Really atmospheric art
This game is incredibly beautiful! I love the unique art style.
The art makes me think of Banner Saga.
Its look like a Mobile game and the battles are really worse how they done.... Its not similar. Silenve of the Siren thats similar in scifi version!
i really wish games like this had a NO STORY MODE for the campaigns... instead of all this text and voice acting strip it all down. GO HERE, KILL THIS, TAKE THIS CITY. and then just give me STATS for all units. strip eeeevvvvvvvverything else out.
That siege/resiege issue is pretty nasty. Gorgeous game, but I'll hold off until they fix that as I know it would infuriate me.
Pity about the lack of controllable tactical combat, its a bit of a deal breaker for me to be honest.
Same. I like Autobattlers and I like HoMM clones. I don't like them mixed together.
Same, Hero's hour was so good... except for the battles which were such a snorefest.
The best games tend to have a strategy layer and a tactical layer that are both good. XCOM 1 and 2 are a perfect example of this. Folks tend to replicate either the tactical or strategy layer and think ‘this is what you like right?’ And get it wrong.
It’s not a part we liked. It’s everything.
I am actually now more interested in this game because it is an auto battler.
@@kamatong Not me, I buy a game to play it, not sit there and watch it play with _itself._ It baffles me why some devs think this is such a good idea, I guarantee its going to lose them money.
Bunch of girls on the cover lol pass
You say it's a heroes-like but from what I see here they're not afraid of introducing their own ideas and spins on things, when other games are closer to almost reskins with a few little changes here and there. That's great!
What other games are you talking about?
Songs of Conquest have basically made a total remake of the magic system, battle system and stopped cross-bree... the ability to combine things from multiple castle in one army, and that's just talking from the in-battle part.
And Hero's Hour is, well, it's basically a HoMM fan game, so yeah, I guess? It still got the idea to make the battle as an auto-battler and that's already a pretty big idea, that this game copied. I mean, they basically made the same combat system as Hero's Hour, except they redesigned the spell book in cards... with less spells...?
As of Disciple and Age of Wonders, they are licenses almost, if not as old as HoMM, so...
Yeah, I honestly want to know what games you're refering to... because I wanna play them.
Thanks for all the laughs and cool games, I've been watching for years now and got to thinking. I mean how much would I have to hate all of you and everyone involved with the channel as well as your viewers to not share the peace and joy I've found. Below I am going to link my research that has opened my eyes to truth I'm ashamed to say I neglected for most of my life. So I ask you all to at least please read it and not dismiss it out of hand without looking into it.
Please I beg you read this entire comment, this isn't about me but the love I have for all of you. This just may be one of the most important things you ever read and will direct you to something much, much more important than you could ever imagine.
It is not the ramblings of a madman or someone who is deluded but is based on sound research and brings to light truths most have never seen.
The reason I believe in the God of the Bible, the inerrancy of Scripture and that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
We have a reliable collection of historical documents written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They report super natural events that took place in fulfilment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are via divine inspiration and not from men alone.
The super natural events are important in that they show the divine nature of God.
Jesus Christ cast out demons, healed the sick, blind, deaf, dumb and paralyzed, walked on water, fed thousands with little, and was resurrected all of which have eyewitness accounts.
The feedings alone were witnessed by the thousands He fed on the two separate occasions that we are told of in the Gospels.
John tells us that there were many more miracles than what are recorded in the Bible/Gospels and that it would have filled volumes of books upon books were he to have written them all down and that it would have taken more than one lifetime to do so.
The claim that men wrote the Bible so it can not be true means that no other book ever written should be believed, no matter the topic as they're all written by man.
The Bible is not just a book it is a collection of books which are linked together by One Divine Author. In this collection of books there are over 40 authors but only one Devine Author, (the Holy Spirit), who links them all together over a period of 1500+ years for the New Testament alone. Those authors wrote down His inspired Word given to them by God.
66 Volumes/Books in the Bible.
The bulk of the New Testament was written over a period of around 50 years. It was in 49 AD to 53 AD when the Scripture writings of the New Testament are thought to have begun. With the last living Apostle John dying in 100 AD.
Over a period of around 1500 years it was preserved and passed on:
In 3 Languages
On 3 Continents
There are 66,360+ source documents that have been found for the entire Bible of which there are 24,360 and counting source documents for the New Testament alone.
5,839 in the original Greek, some 2 million pages
18,524 translations of that Greek into other languages
Some of the oldest sources date to 125AD which is within decades of the completion of all the books that were canonized as the New Testament.
The New Testament cannon, (Gospels of the Apostles/writings, Epistles/letters to the early Churches, all sources and eyewitness accounts that were to be included), was decided at the Synod of Carthage in 397 AD.
Those asking for "Scientific Proof" about the Bible are either ignorant or asking with evil intent. An intelligent person knows that the scientific method can not be applied to verify the Bible.
Scientific Method is:
1) Has to be observable.
2) Has to be measurable.
3) Has to be repeatable.
Therefore no history can ever be proven via scientific method.
You must use the historical method based on:
Eyewitnesses accounts.
Documents from the time or as close as possible.
Make sure the story is corroborated by as many sources as possible.
Look for anyone/anything that attempted to prove any of it false in that time period or as close to it as possible.
Did anyone successfully prove any of it untrue?
If they had/have why is there no record found anywhere of it ever being disproven?
Luke = Historian
A man of science, a physician, an educated and logical man who researched and gathered the accounts of eyewitnesses. He recorded the actual eyewitness accounts of our Lord and Savior, those who had heard Him speak and were present/saw the signs/miracles He performed. He did this because the life of those eyewitnesses were coming to an end due to age and he was inspired to write them down via the Holy Spirit before they could be lost or perverted by time.
John = Evangelist
John is organized around 7 specific events/signs/miracles all seen by eyewitnesses and corroborated by many. So he also provides proof of accuracy/truth.
Mark = The shortest of the Gospels and is very direct or "Just the Facts" if you like.
Mathew = Was written to the Jewish audience and that's one of the reasons for the extensive genealogy of Christ. There are also more references to the Old Testament in his gospel compared to the others.
Peter = He lays out all the proof for the Bible and it's accuracy in 1 Peter Chapter 1. He makes the arguments that justify it all as truly what happened and that it all happened as recorded in the Gospel/New Testament, the entire Bible.
All of the Apostles were eyewitnesses of Jesus and/or of the resurrected Christ. Including Paul whom Jesus came to as he was on the road traveling to Damascus to persecute more Christians. This would have been the resurrected Christ or a form of Him that came from Heaven.
There were at least 300 eyewitnesses still alive when Corinthians was written who could have disputed it but no one did.
Mathias became the 12th Apostles after Judas hung himself so the argument of there not being 12 Apostles comes from ignorance or evil intent.
There have been over 25,000 archeological digs in which there has been absolutely no evidence found that proves anything in the entire Bible false but in those digs many things have been found that prove it true.
Other cultures and non believer's historical documents show or corroborate people, places, wars and many things that are in the Bible. Yet none of them prove any of it to be false, in stead they have strengthened it.
Word for Word Translations prove just how accurate what we have is when you consider there's no way anyone could have falsified any of it, be it via intent or mistakes.
Many church fathers in history have made extensive notes that include scripture throughout the centuries and no matter the time or place all those references to scripture corroborate each other. Which shows just how accurate translations have been throughout time and still are as long as they maintain a word for word ideology during the translation.
To falsify any of it they would have to change every single source, do it in three languages, on three continents, over a span of thousands of years, with no one catching any of it, no one ever talking about what they'd done, leaving behind no traces that they'd done it.
Not to mention they'd have to steal all of those sources to change them, changing them would be a massive undertaking considering they were hand written in those times and then put them back without ever being seen or caught during the entire process.
My last statement is this:
Simply put the Bible can defend itself like a lion just let it loose.
(Use Scripture to defend Scripture because it is a collection of eyewitness accounts that has been proven true again and again).
You must know that God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, that although He hates the sin, He loves the repentant sinner. If people will just come to Him and repent in their heart of hearts of all their sins, and proclaim Him as their Savior, their Lord, the Son of GOD.
Just look around, you know time is growing short.
So I beg you don't waste another second as we know the Rapture will occur in the twinkling of an eye.
marana'tha!!!
There's a very good movie titled "The God Who Speaks" that covers much of what I've said above. If you still have doubt I would recommend you watch it and even if you don't because it was very well made and presented.
Take care and God Bless
I just never liked heroes 5 etc. with 3D graphics. They just don't look as clear and clean to me.
Same with side scrolling platormers... They need to have some high end art direction to be playable in 3D because foreground and background basically look the same and it can be difficult to discern what you can walk on and what you can't etc.
That's why I still prefer Heroes 3 over anything else... especially with the horn of the abyss + HD-mod it's just amazing.
