Conquest of Elysium 3 dev log

[Gandalf Parker]

Yes the game is perfectly willing to throw multiples of a nation into the game. That causes some fun AAR style moments. When your cocky dwarf army is going strong then runs into another dwarf army wearing a different color. It seems as though my worst situations have been from meeting a matching nation. Or when you have been fighting hard against a Troll King and the game announces that Gundar the Troll King is out of the game. But when you look, your opponents armies are still there because it was a different Troll King.

It might create some interesting games later. A more standard DnD style wargame by everyone playing Barons? Or a challenge game where all of the Warlock players tries to prove who is the BEST Warlock player.

How are the classes and the races connected? Both Baron and Necromancers sound like human leaders just with opposite alignments (Good & Evil).

Can units get better besides giving them equipment. Most games use experience for that, though Dom3 doesn't have experience. Another, much cooler way would be something like Thing of Unreason eating units or a specific resource and getting more powerful from it.
That would make units more unpredictable if they can vary a bit in power.
(Anyone remember the crabs in Magic Carpet that could turn to Monster Crabs and multiply if they eat enough mana?!)

How dynamic is the environment? I heard something about death mushrooms growing on ancient battle fields. Is this static (=never changes) or can the field grow and spawn bigger more dangerous mushrooms like a mushroom mother if you don't clean it up in time. Would make things more interesting if you really have to care about the developments in your environment.
However, I'm aware that a 'living environment simulation' is not an easy thing to do.

I had a question that was an offshoot of Gandalf's comment: if you take over an opposing class's last remaining citadel but still have other enemies to fight, then do the remaining troops of the recently defeated class become independents or disappear off the map?
