If you got Eador on Steam then just overwrite all the steam files to play via steam.

"This release is stand-alone, in other words:
Unzip anywhere, double-click the executable, and start playing"

Legally, yes, you need to have a license, but practically, its the above.

How is the original Eador Genesis? I have all the others but never played the original.

The original is very stable but is unbalanced and the AI cheats like hell (buying the best guards in every province while their economy can't sustain such upkeep). I have only played Broken Worlds and genesis.

Broken worlds is similar to genesis, better graphics, same campaign but buggy and UI is clunky. New horizons fixes balance issues, AI behaviour and adds tons of content, races can have their own neutral province now (no mixed armies) and you can ally with them. Units can now level to a much higher cap. NH is the way to play Genesis and much better than Broken Worlds. Not sure how it compares to Imperium. I have asked this 3 years ago on the forum:

Pretty much everything you say re: Broken Worlds still applies to Imperium.

Thanks, I never could get into either of the last two as it was very hard to figure things out and kind of clunky for me.

Don't pick the commander or wizard for your first game. These classes are very weak at the start of the game (but beasts later on).

I believe the answer is "sort of, but not really".

Seems the next gloriously janky entry in the series is now in the works:

Today we are ready to make a first official public announcement of the upcoming title in the Eador universe.

Because it is very early stage of development, there is not much we can show you, but so far you can be sure that:

The game will be based on the Unreal Engine.
Astral, which was put aside in the Imperium is coming back with new features.
A new storyline campaign which will unfold some secrets.
And, of course, new masters, heroes and creatures!

I hope they fix the issues of the previous titles. SO much potential and innovation there that went unrealized.

I'm willing to bet $500 here and now that they won't fix anything really :D I do love the Eador games, but they've never really shown any inclination to fix the problems that plague them.

Yes, I see your $500 and double it.

[scomtesse]

Me too. A new engine, a few new gimicks, and that's all.

[Martok]

Yeah, given the dev's track record, there's zero reason to believe this new game won't suffer the same problems as the previous ones.
