Aw fuck. Now I have to run out to Wal Mart today, and burn 50 bucks I shouldn't be burning, on this game.

I'm such a loser.

It has a DnD Logo? MINE.

I saw it at Best Buy, was interested untill I read the box and found out it was an RTS. That seems pointless to me.

RTS/RPG. All the reviews I've read seem to agree it's a pretty good game. Have not tried it myself though.

I have it is more like baldurs gate meets action rpg meets rts...you build a city..only your city is a very small square and it is divided up into 4 more squares with that you can make certain shops in the squares and can make certain units. melee casters healers and so on. You get a hero which is powerful on his/her own but get more powerful with my followers..the more followers the more power but you get less tax money to spend on upgrades. Awesome story. You collect dragonshards(money) as you kill shit like and action rpg which you spend to upgrade your city, yourself, your followers and so on. Very little building and lots of exploring and killing shit. there is a nice long demo out there give it a shot I love it.

Give it a shot, I really really enjoy it

Hatorade pretty much nailed it, I played the demo and had a good bit of fun so i think it's worth picking up.

LAN-ed the demo with roomates.

Its an RTS with an above and below ground world. So you have some units on the surface and thats where your bases are. And you can have some units in the dungeon collecting loot. There a big emphasis on Heros and Creep fighting.

I'd give the demo a try before you buy. I really wasnt into it.

Usha Starchild · 10-06-2005, 03:39 AM

Dont buy it.

I decided to download it because I live in China and there is no where to buy it. I beat the Order of the flame campain in one day on normal setting. Started to play the lizard man one and just couldnt. I uninstalled it after one game of skirmish against 4 computer opponents on hard setting. I schooled them.

This game is cool in theory but doesnt pull it off the way it should.

Heros can only have 2 of the artifacts equiped.

Other artifacts u use will vanish after each chapter. (weak)

i'd give the game a 5/10 (for effort)

Usha Starchild · 10-06-2005, 03:48 AM

Also, cities are worthless, all you can do in your city is Upgrade walls(Twice) and repair walls if something damages them. Nothing else.

Cities are divided into sections, the smallest cities have 4 spots to place building the largest have 16. You have a total of 12 building to place and there are no upgrades. (4 monuments and 8 class buildings)

When you place a rouge building for example you can build one rogue (max 20 population = gay) Units start out at level 1, if yu place another rogue buidling beside that you can upgrade him to level 2 (using your exp), if u place 4 rogue buildings together u can upgrade to the max level of 5. Each level unlocks some skill, most are gay or upgrades from the previous level. (exception of mages who get aoe meteor and those flying dudes who get an aoe sleep or stun)

The game really has no depth and its over before u start it feels like.

Since you live in China, you should post pics of you pissing on or otherwise defacing an imagine of Chairman Mao in public.

That would give you big e-cred.
