Excerpts from the game's F.A.Q.:

Which game genre it is?
Eador: Masters of the Broken World is a turn-based strategy in a fantasy setting. The game combines a lot of different elements from a whole bunch of games genres. There are tactical battles on a hexagonal battlefields and heroes traveling around the map, but also complex economical and political system and ”a grand strategy’ approach to the game campaign.

What is the meaning of ‘karma system’ in the game? By ‘karma’ in Eador we understand the complex alignment system, which evaluates the player’s actions from a moral point of view. See, in this game player have to face with moral dilemmas almost on every corner. The Masters aren’t simply a warlord, but also a leader of his empire with all kinds of responsibilities coming with. Player could ignore them, of course, but sometimes it’s wiser to cooperate with you mortal minions, because actually they are the ones who fight all Master’s wars for him. Bad karma generates when player chooses to sacrifice his people interests for a greater income or just because he’s enjoying the role of a badass:) Good karma generates when player acts as a caring monarch and fulfill the requests of the population… if only their needs aren’t initially evil;) Long story short: it is a complex role-playing system and you really should try it, if you want to know how it works.

How many playable races are in the game? Surprise: there are no such thing in the game as playable races! Instead of playing ‘the elves campaign’ or ‘the undead campaign’ in Eador: Masters of the Broken World the player going to ally himself with one of 8 different fantasy races and use it’s services in a time of war.

Why strategy games are such a big deal in the Eastern Europe? For some reason, Eastern Europeans really like strategy games. Especially the military ones, about conquering the world and suppressing the enemies. We don’t know for sure, but it seems that we’re big fans of the iron authority here and strategy games are the easiest (and usually safest) way to feel that kind of power in your own hands. Well, at least this is the one of the theories.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your feedback and support. We appreciate that greatly!
