Lords of Conquest vs Northgard
Lords of Conquest
Lords of Conquest is a pretty standard sort of MMORTS mobile game that is set in a massive world that doubles as a melting pot of all notable civilizations of old, ranging from the Huns to the Byzantines. In this game, you'll need to not only manage your resources and build an army in the hostile world in Lords of Conquest; you’ll also need to set out to make your mark in the world by conquering kingdoms that disagree with you and work with those who do. There are plenty of units and heroes you can recruit to your army, locations to conquer, empires to crush into dust, and fun and special events to join in exchange for rare items and upgrade materials.Featuring breathtaking graphics and a fun yet somewhat casual MMO gameplay, this is the sort of game you can enjoy anywhere you like without having to at least commit hours of your time. Players who aren’t spenders can also make a difference in this game if they spend whatever freebies they get, which admittedly can be quite a lot, wisely. So, does this sound like a game you’d like to play? If so, head on over to Lords of Conquest now and check it out!
Northgard
Northgard is a rather unique city-builder/strategy game that allows you to lead a group of Northmen to unknown new shores in hopes of making a life there. Like most city-building games, you'll need to help them set up a home, assign your Vikings to perform various roles, ensure there is enough food to feed the entire village, and amass a small army to help defend your territories from other hostile clans. The strategic aspects of the game may not be obvious at first but you'll quickly realize that new territories that you discover (you don't exactly need to conquer it for this to work) will present new strategic opportunities for your clan to expand or grow, be it new sources for food or a nice place to set up a new trading post. There are many victory conditions as well, so it's not always "kill or be killed" in this game.Northgard offers players a single player experience by playing with AIs with various personalities or with their friends online. However, many players have reported that the game does have a somewhat flawed AI-player relationship. Even if you're best buddies with an AI's clan through healthy trading relationships, their clan members will still attack your people, which frankly feels a lot like a betrayal. It'd be nice to have a tutorial as well.
That said though, Northgard is an impressive game especially if you enjoy a bit of city-builder/strategy game like Valhalla Hills.
