Love the game, this is the game Mark Of Chaos should have been. Only small gripe i have is that it lacks grit and character. 9/10 A classic.

Great game!
 

The A.I. in the game is not bad.
I love the way it targets your routed/damaged units for destruction, and whoa be the player that has a routed hero hanging out in the open.
I also like the way that you have to keep your mounted knights back a bit so they don't go impetuously crashing to their doom into the woods after an orc unit.
I give it 9 out of 10 :)

Excellent game. I used to play Fantasy General to death and now this game gives me what I have been aching for.

I was surprised to see the AI making smart moves and how little loading there is. Furthermore, the game is a nice challenge, something to sink my teeth in. It's technically sound as well. What I am missing at the moment is simply more maps. And a techtree for the Elves on the site ;)

What's holding the game back is that it looks like another Warcraft/Warhammer clone and gamesites do not go deep with it. Personally, I like Orcs and Elves battling it out, but that's me. Also, I think in the age of Halo's and generic racegames, old school turnbased doesnt get the attention it deserves.

I believe that if you call yourself oldschool, this game is a must-have.

I personally miss a campaign map as the Total War series,
with the old school gameplay and a quest sistem will be really a revolution in the strategy games

Nah I don't miss it. That would make it too commercial :P

Besides, a campaign map like Total War doesn't make a good game, just look at Empire Earth 3...

Funny, because I was just thinking how great it was that I didn't have to bother with a Total War-style campaign map. I love how Fantasy Wars focuses directly on the tactical combat.

Yes but it would be great to take decision about were to fight enemies and about the composition of the forces.

I agree that a campaign map would be a nice addition. But not like the one in Total War. Rather like the map in "Shadow of the Horned Rat" - you make the decision between options A, B and sometimes C, and the campaign continues depending on your choice. You also would get different units, quests and so on... yes, it would triple the effort needed to create a campaign, but it would be so nice... :)

i prefer to be free to accept or not casual quests only with a customizable hero, to develop my troops and cityes, to choose who and were to attack in a totally free world domination campaign.

Hint about branching missions... Guess what is coming in the sequel. :-))
