    Silly fiction that can never decide between being hard-ass realistic and disney-nice. Silly dialogue. Map feels empty and contrastingly square, for lack of a better expression. Combat is a lot worse than the Heroes of Might and Magic formula, with an idiotic interpretation of ranged versus melee mechanics. Misc battlefield elements are pointless and boring.

    game constantly hangs, crashes, save incorrectly loaded.
    would put 9 but only now 0 points.
    so it was necessary to ruin a good game.
    I hope to fix crash or hang.

    I really tried to like the game, but I just couldn't. The difficulty is completely off, the game actually has one of the worst cases of early game hell I've ever seen. Stay away unless you are prepared to get raped hard in the beginning and breeze through the rest of the game.

    Take the Pathfinder games, already boring, and take out the only thing that makes them fun - character building - and you have the Expeditions games.

    Every battle is the exact same tactics, nothing changes. There are only 5 classes (Warrior, Rogue, Ranger, Cleric, Bard) and they can only level up 5 times, learning the same abilities every level. You can only bring 6 warriors to battle    Take the Pathfinder games, already boring, and take out the only thing that makes them fun - character building - and you have the Expeditions games.

You can only bring 6 warriors to battle (the rest of your expedition just sits there jerking off). Enemy AI never poses a challenge, I played on hard and never lost a battle.

    Every battle feels like one out of Age of Wonders 3 but with less options/abilities. And in that game what most players end up doing is autoskipping most of them.    … Expand

    Expedition: Conquistadors is very entertaining strategic role playing game, about an interesting subject, too [Nov 2013]

    A very good game, with interesting narration, nice characters and some solid mechanics. It's got its limits and you can clearly see the small budget, but it's also got a big heart.

    At the very least, Conquistador's acceptance of player failure makes it possible to experience its excellent writing.
