Hi Eugeny,

1) EoW uses square tiles, while Xconq uses hexes.
Is that possible to create xconq game with square tile?

Distance and direction calculations in Xconq are heavily dependent on the hex grid. To add support for a square grid would be a major effort, I think.

2) EoW uses morale concept heavily.

[ snipped ]

Can that be emulated with xconq engine?
If not, how hard that would be to change xconq engine,
so that emulation would be possible?

Xconq has some support for the concept of morale. More morale-related support could be added if necessary.

More questions to come...

We will try to answer them.

  Regards,
     Eric
