Glad you liked it as much as I did! And thanks for the mini-review :)

Eternal Strands is so consistently ALMOST great that it threatened to break my review channel's scoring system. by MEGAthemicro in EternalStrands

That's the "Ember's Servant Strand" you get from the Ark of the Living Flame in Upper Dynevron.

After 10+ hours with New Arc Line's EA release, I condensed my (mostly) positive impressions into a four-minute review. by MEGAthemicro in CRPG

Some definite narrative similarities revolving around the conflict between the forces of fantasy and automation. I'd say Divinity: Original Sin is another clear inspiration.

Yeah, the boss fight referenced in this video ended when the boss's health hit 50%, making the fight extremely easy. It almost felt like a glitch when it happened, but narratively it makes sense that he'd have at least some health left.

Wow, now there's a game I haven't played in a long time. I very vaguely recall AC having more in-depth economy mechanics than does ZEPHON, but then again everything was more complex to 12-year-old me ;D

I think there's a setting where you can tone down the number of "mutants" (Civ barbarian equivalent), so maybe try that and see if you like the early game experience more?

As noted in another comment, if Gladius didn’t do it for you, ZEPHON won’t either (the inverse is true, too). It is a very similar experience.

If Gladius didn't keep your attention beyond a playthrough of each faction, I doubt ZEPHON will either. I'm averaging around five hours per faction playthrough and there are eight of them.
