As a second
adaptation, Eden Project – Battlefield was born from the combination of Eden
Project and Eden Project – Card Game.
The game
can be played by 4 players simultaneously and does not have a plot like Eden
Project, but the plot is to be developed as the game goes on. There is no such
thing as a “Master” making up the story. Every player plays an active part in
the story which evolves by itself.
Basically,
each player will have a main quest, but to achieve it it will have to achieve
sidequests such as transporting monsters, find special items or negociate.
Each player
will be on possession of a Hero at the beggining, but it is possible to gather
a personal army of any group of monsters.
Eden
Project Battlefield’s gameplay is almost the same as Eden Project: The player
will obtain experience every time a battle is won, will level up, learn new
spells and skills depending on the hero and will have to explore the world in
order to complete quests.
You can
either play cooperatively with other players but it is also allowed to form
alliances or rivalties with other players, which not only enables the classic
“map monster battling” but can enable an army battle between two or more
players.
Given the
lifespan of a single match, which can be extended by agreement by the players
up to whatever time limit they would like to set (hours, days, months, etc),
you can save your game the same way as you do on Eden Project.
As one of
the main differences with Eden Project, the board game counts with 9 dynamic
maps, meaning that the player can organize the world map to discretion, making
worlds of different sizes or land type order (for example, 4 maps are enough
for a quick match but 6 are suitable for a normal match), as well as placing
the destinations (cities, shelters, etc) in different places. Basically, before
starting a match, the players will have to design the world map.
Summarizing,
in Eden Project Battlefield you can:
* Get
experience and raise levels

kinds of magic and weapons

Hero and organize your own army
