A new campaign is now available for Songs of Conquest. The Barony of Loth campaign expands on the already intricate lore of the game while giving players the opportunity to explore another aspect of Aerbor. They can also look forward to the cinematic cutscenes being delivered in the form of a song.
The new campaign offers four missions available on Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty settings. This should give a challenge much like the previous campaigns involving the Arleon and Rana factions.
In this new campaign, players get an insight into the history behind the Barony of Loth, following the tragic fate which befell the Aurelian empire. The campaign starts with the story of Baron Aldus of Loth, who encounters a mysterious scholar offering him a chance to seize an ancient power. Wanting to save his already declining Barony, Aldus enters a deal with the stranger and only later finds out that it comes with a high price. However, there may be a sliver of light at the end of the tunnel.
In a post, the team at Lavapotion revealed that while they are proud of what they've done so far, the Loth campaign isn't the end. There will be more unit abilities and siege battle improvements coming in the future along with AI becoming smarter and better.
Arriving in the game alongside the campaign is an update which introduces fixes and balancing changes.
