I record and commentate games played live in person and filmed via camera, as well as those captured through use of the “OCTGN” virtual playing surface. I could lavish heaps of praise upon Conquest for paragraphs, but instead, why not just check out the video below?Īs “The Hive Tyrant,” I make it my goal to cover as much Conquest LCG content as possible. Individual cards tend to have multiple uses, as well, which make the deck-building component and mid-game possibilities that occur within this LCG extraordinarily rich – for example, should you save your most powerful events for their intended, offensive effects, or might it be necessary to discard them for their built-in defensive benefits? When constructing a deck, are you versatile enough to attempt to take on all comers, or are you taking a risk by building to beat the established meta? There’s an element of bluffing involved in the game, and many aspects which involve out-guessing, out-thinking, and out-playing one’s opponent, with all of it relying on as little luck of the draw as one could ever hope to expect from a card game. Still further, players must also pick when, and where, to fight the various battles which take place across not just one single arena, as one sees with tabletop 40k, but rather, combat occurs across a range of different planets, each with a unique, associated military or economic value – and though progression from planet to planet is not exactly linear (warlords allow players to select where they want to conduct battles), each single game will always have a different combination of a fixed number of planets to consider conquering.
You can affix attachments to your units (think Storm Bolters and Rokkit Launchas), and deploy game-changing events (an unexpected Drop Pod Assault, anyone? Or perhaps a devastating Warp Storm, or planet-scouring Exterminatus?).Īll the while, during each game, players strive to juggle myriad strategic assets – for instance, they must strike a careful balance between trying not only to establish an overwhelming military force, but also, develop and maintain a strong economy with which to continue to fuel their relentless war machine. During each, individual match, players draw cards, acquire resource tokens, and then use these commodities to deploy army units ranging from your bog standard Cadian guardsman, all the way to the almighty and nigh-insurmountable Black Legion Heldrake.
