The intention is to give each season and the units connected to them a general theme, but still have some utility so that a player is not screwed over for picking any particular season before others. This should in theory give the Fairies a much larger set of build-order options for various strategies, especially in the early to-mid game. Where's most factions have to progress through a linear techtree (They start in the Village Phase, progress to Town Phase, and ultimately City Phase), the Fairies, their units and techs require one of the four seasons to be 'researched,' however the player gets to choose which season to begin a match and the order of seasons to progress through. From a technical standpoint, think of the Fairy Seasons as a modular and non-linear techtree. With this criticism in mind and the new Node System forcing my hand, I went back to the drawing board to try and find an interesting way to salvage Fairy Seasons.Īt the moment the solution is to really lean into the Seasons replacing the Phases that most other factions use to progress through their techtrees. While potentially useful, quite a few people reported that the system was a bit convoluted and difficult to time properly when trying to counter an opponent. In all previous versions of Hyrule Conquest, the Fairies had a smaller roster of units compared to every other faction, but they could cycle between four different seasons to transform the way units behaved to adapt to certain situations. The Fairy changes are quite simply the result of the new Node System being incompatible with how Fairy Seasons worked in older versions of Hyrule Conquest, and therefore a necessity. Let's take a peek at the Fairies, who are the last faction that will be getting quite an overhaul.įor the Fairies, their overhaul has less to do with finding a home for a selection of units (the Koroks being added to the Kokiri), or a desire to visually overhaul a faction to fit their nature more (the Gohma). For all the other factions, the changes will be extremely minor and not exactly worth discussing in an article, save for one faction. The Kokiri had many new Koroks introduced, while the Gohma had a complete visual overhaul. We've recently taken a look at two factions that received a bit of an overhaul.
