This minor update fixes a problem with starting the game on new ARM (M1+) Macs.
This update turns Conquest of Elysium 3 into a 64-bit game. The main reason for this update is to make sure the game continues to run on modern OSes, but there are also some bug fixes that have accumulated over the years. Most importantly this update is required to be able to continue to use this game on Macs. If someone still uses a 32-bit OS for some reason, it is possible to continue to run the old version by opting in to the legacy private beta in steam (password: legacylegacy). General changes
- Improved performance due to 64-bit version
- Recreate temp directory if it should be deleted while playing
- Battle inconsistency fix
- Network reliability fixes
- Setting for 120 fps added
- New launch option: --glfinish
- Upgraded graphics library from SDL to SDL2
- 64-bit only
- Improved support for recent versions of Windows
- 64-bit arm (M1+) only
- 64-bit only (32-bit OS results in old version)
- Improved support for recent Linux versions
- Fix for crash when shutting down pulseaudio on exit
It has been a few years since the last update, so it is time for another one. This one makes the game run more reliably on recent versions of Windows and also comes with the usual bunch of bug fixes. General changes
- Incorrect price for Witch's standard unit
- Never get an affliction on a zero damage hit
- Sleeping units now lose their berserk
- Magic items with luck also gives a shimmering unit
- Starting a crusade could start the inquisition too
- Stability fixes
- Improved support for recent versions of Windows

The Game includes VR Support
The main focus in CoE3 is that each race plays differently. We're not talking about a unique building and unique unit, we're talking about completely differently, with different mechanics and different goals. Perhaps you're playing a druid, focused on amassing a vast forest and jungle empire from which to harvest ingredients to summon creatures of the woods with no practical need to conquer mines. Perhaps you're a dwarf, who's only concern are mines and produce units at a set rate every turn, focused almost entirely on upgrading those units to survive as long as possible since they are so difficult to replace. With 18 different factions that alone is enough to keep your play dynamic as you vie for control of the map to conquer Elysium. That isn't where it ends, however, there are 6 scenarios in which your game takes place that will help randomize the map. These scenarios range from a the early days of an agrarian world to a giant gleaming capital, which you can conquer, that spawns patrols of human guards, to a fallen empire filled with the living dead and scarred by battlefields and tombs. There's also random events to contend with, from merchants to pillage to the very gates of the underworld opening portals to your realm, your hands will be full before you even make contact with the enemy.
In each game the objective is to defeat your enemies by relying on the strengths of your chosen race. Combat in CoE3 is automatic to keep things streamlined, but that doesn't make it non-strategic. Each unit has a desired "location" it wants to be in the battlefield. Archers want to be in the rear, heavy infantry want to be in front. As you can imagine, putting together an army that has enough strength to protect the powerful archers and spell casters in the rear is vital. It goes beyond that though, as you must determine your enemy's strengths and hopefully be able to counter their strategy. An army of a mere 10 trolls is extremely dangerous, perhaps able to bring down a dragon, but they can only kill 10 creatures at once. An army of 50 small units will make short work of your trolls. However, an army with a wizard able to cast high level spell may completely destroy all 50 small units in one shot but would be unable to harm 10 trolls. Determining the strength and composition of an enemy army is a vital skill, and since hitting in combat, damage, and even the very spells that will be cast are randomized based on the abilities of each unit, every battle invites potential disaster and a change of plans.
Key Features:
- 18 different classes that are unique, both in resources they need and the rituals or special abilities they have
- Copious amounts of monsters and random events, good and bad
- Random maps.
- Spell system with 42 magic paths
- Network or hotseat multiplayer
- Team play, you can be 2 players against the AI for example.
- Stealth and invisibility. Scouts needed to detect stealthy troops, something better (a star spawn or a beast bat will work) needed to detect the invisible ones.
- Assassins that make an assassination attack before combat starts.
- Catapults, Hill Giants and Rocs that can throw or drop boulders during sieges.
- Immortal Liches and Vampires.
- Regenerating trolls rise from the dead if they haven't been killed too badly or their side lost.
- Large worms that can swallow smaller enemies whole. Swallowed units take a few points of damage from digestion each round until they are freed.
- Shape changers that looks like something else when seen by the enemies.
- And many many more monsters and abilites....
