Hyrule Conquest

Mod review

This Review and account were created to combat Nuare's pretty stupid view, and as such the review doesn't actually reflect my actual thoughts on the mod. I'd genuinely rate it around a 7 or an 8 since it's a lot of fun and has interesting takes on Zelda, but also has a frustrating amount of bugs, issues, and story problems. So, once again, this is moreso to combat Nuare's ******** review score.

So, to start, it seems like Nuare made a pretty simple mistake in thinking that Hyrule Conquest (HC) is an update of Hyrule Total War (HTW), and therefore he'd need to buy a Total War game to play it. Just one problem with that, HC is not for Total War, and it's not the same as HTW. HC is a Continuation/reboot of HTW being remade in the (currently developing) 0 A.D Engine, an engine/game that is COMPLETELY FREE. I understand his frustration in buying a different game by accident, but that's his own fault for not paying attention. Neph shouldn't have to recoup your money for you not paying attention, that was your problem.

Also, this mod has not ceased development. It's updates are coming frustratingly slow, yes, but they're still coming. Hell, Neph posted Pics of the next faction in the image section here. The Sheikah and Stalfos are just taking a long time to make, and Stealth not being in 0 A.D isn't helping. The only other Game Neph would be working on to my knowledge is that Star Fox mod he's been working on in the background. Maybe his one of his own personal he's been working on, but I don't know about that.

As for the Community bit... not really sure. Not a part of the Discord server and the community outside of that doesn't seem very active. Still though, I can't help but think Nuare's problem with them came from his own attitude, as the interactions I've had with the community tend to be pretty ok. They've got issues (like their ******* Zelda opinions and such), but they're also pretty helpful.

All in all, Nuare's a *******, and a rude one at that. Calling someone a scumbag because you couldn't figure out their mod when others could. I wish you the best of luck finding and installing HTW if you have the right version of Total War, but kindly **** off from this community you *******.

Edit: There is also the possiblility that Nuare downloaded the most recent version of 0 A.D, which isn't actually compatible with the current version of HC, though the next version of HC should be. At the moment, you need to download the .23 version of 0 A.D, not the .24 version, otherwise HC just flat out won't work at all. The summary should have a link to the download for the previous version, though I doubt Nuare wants to play any HC at this point
