Will we ever see this?

Yes I did. But you need at least 40 melee units to make look like a balanced game with enough content (in KBAP there are more than 40). You simply game me 2 game examples. Correct me if I'm wrong but the zerg have only zergling and ultralisk as melee and the protoss have only the zealot and dark templar as melee. That's 4. Dawn of war has a bit more.

Discounting all races' resource gather units, all of which are melee (but don't tend to be used for combat, for some reason, lol), there is also the archon for the tos, and let's not forget firebats from the terran.

[DGDobrev]

Firebats hit a few squares away with their flame thrower, so they are a bit like the demonologists here. Archons have splash damage that also can hit a few squares away. As for the resource gathering units, you're right. Maybe they can be lvl 1 units

Sorry, I have very little interest in a sci-fi based game of this type.

A straight up RPG or adventure would be different. But fantasy just seems to fit better for these type of unit/turn based games.

I agree.

Btw: Hi elkston. Still playing DA?

Instead of a horse you could buy various ground and air vehicles...
You lack extrapolative power...imagine all units animated as well as the Guard and Repair Droids are..

I prefer the colourful fantasy setting to the usually grey and gloomy sci-fi worlds. If I want a taste of the latter, I can just look out the window.

'sup JDR13!!!

I finished it once and was drained. I plan to go back and try again sometime.

My problem is that although you are encouraged to try different characters/combinations, etc. I always WANT to play the same type of guy in these games (an archer with competent melee as backup). I have no interest in playing a mage, a thief, a two handed warrior, etc.

So when I say I'll "play it again", what that really means is that I will reload from an earlier save and play the game in a different (perhaps more optimized) way now that I know where all the goodies are. I might try out different party members as well. And for SURE, I am going to go with a different romance option because I now detest Morrigan (knowing the ending).

PS. - Sorry for the off topic!

If there is anything more hateful that sci fi I am yet to see it. It's going to be painful enough playing with Dinosaurs.

There's a reason why NWC had to cancel the Forge town idea for Heroes 3, think about it.
