Kyros sends you to read another Edict to the leaders of these two armies: “Defeat the rebels in eight days or everyone in the whole region, friend or foe, will die.” Kyros’s armies are in disarray, thanks to a conflict between the two main factions-the organized, Roman-esque legions of the Disfavored and the chaotic horde of the Scarlet Chorus. I’d managed to negotiate a surrender in Apex in my Conquest, so the rebels called me “Peacebinder” and were generally more willing to talk, while my own soldiers were annoyed with me-“If you hadn’t spared them two years ago, we wouldn’t have to fight them again.”īut they’re not doing much fighting anyway. Immediately, your Conquest actions come into play. You’re sent to Apex, where a few last bands of resistance have risen up in revolt. What drew me to Tyranny in the months before release was the idea that evil can be complex, can be more than just the saint-or-devil moral paradigm we see in so many games. Only when the last Regent dies will the terms of the Edict be satisfied and the storm die down. Proud Stalwart becomes known as “The Blade Grave.” What’s more, the storm still rages. The maelstrom sweeps up entire armies in a whirlwind, vaporizing the soldiers and leaving only their weapons and armor behind, half-buried in the dirt. Annoyed that those regents are holed up in a castle and refuse to fight, Kyros sends you to proclaim an Edict, a powerful piece of magic that in this case summons a storm. One place you could potentially visit is the proud realm of Stalwart, ruled by a group of Regents. Two purposes are served here: 1) You’re setting up the state of the actual world you’re about to play in and 2) It gives you an idea of the stakes involved. It’s essentially a Choose Your Own Adventure where you make key decisions about the invasion of the Tiers-what cities did you visit, which tactics did you use, that sort of thing. How brutal? Well, you start the game by going through the brief “Conquest” section.
