New DLC for fantasy 4X Songs of Conquest features a freaky forest faction

It probably doesn’t get shouted about enough, but there’s no denying that Songs of Conquest is one of the best new strategy games of the last couple of years. Scaling up the kind of action you’d find in games like Heroes of Might and Magic, it has attracted a surprisingly large and loyal following - publisher Coffee Stain says over 600,000 units have been shifted now, which is mighty impressive. Songs of Conquest is keen to keep capitalizing on the interest and delivering new content to players, and after launching its first DLC at the end of last year, it’s now revealed what’s to come in its second expansion. The highlight is a brand new faction, which is basically an interconnected hive mind of sentient trees.
