Rebirth of "General" Series - Comments and Questio
As a long time fan of Panzer General like games (including Fantasy General) would like to comment on the high quality of this game. The AI is decent, the paper-scissor-rock aspects well thought out. The plot and voiceovers pretty good as well. My requests:
-- Tech Tree- also would like this. maybe as a pdf on your site for now -- Modability -- hope you are supporting this well. Would be wonderful to see user based mods (maybe even a Panzer General or Star General some day). -- Graphics -- well this is unlikely but would love to see a less cartoony graphics style someday in spirit of art of LoTR movies for example. -- Manual - a bit thin Question: The eagle made available in 3rd scenario of human campaign is described as "lends support" to land based units. But I could see no game mechanic indicated. Does it in fact and if so in what way?

I second for graphics, I did mention about perfect unit info screens in FG, You don't see funny hats or "painted soldier" style. One of 1C games, Ascension To The Throne has really nice unit graphics too, I really like that form of fantasy atmosphere. Manga Berserk could also provide some great insights in dark fantasy, from 5th-7th tome images are burning into one's brain
  Other my comments see above  P.S. And I really like simplicity of placing perk tree on a forum, not implemented into the game. Good idea!

Demo bug fix
I recommend you read through this thread. Got it working for me. Read throug hto end because there are some old vs new versions of the required library out there. My first try failed. I had to find the right download.
Good luck! (and try the human scenario for a bit more challenge) http://www.wargamer.com/forums/tm.as...fantasy%2Cwars

Graphics - Love them... very impressive for a turn based strategy game
 Game Play - Sweetness, easy to use interface and loads of detail for each unit MapMaker - Love it... it could be a but more user friendly but if you keep at it, eventually you learn enough to be proficient. Multiplayer - This is what I love most about the game, it is why I play it. It needs more maps with customizable forces, a lobby would not hurt either... but I know that is not a priority. I am hooked and will continue to "word of mouth" this game as long as I stay hooked  Noone seems to know about it, or even heard of it... My overall rating for Fantasy Wars is a 9.0 of 10.0 in the turn based strategy game catagory. Next in line is Laser Squad Nemesis... with an 8.0, multiplayer goodness

I am a gamer from the stone age. Remember c 64 and amiga?
Anyway, bought this game friday, and played all through the weekend. Lovely game. I have missed a good turn based stategy game for a long time. For me the gameplay is the most important thing, and you have done a real good job. Keep up the good fight

HA!
I've got the game just now, and I've got manual as well. And You know, it's really nice to see game makers answering on the game's forum - bers looks like a main man there - multiplayer, animation programming, game mechanics, AI, boy oh boy...  Thank You for Your time and for Your work Anyway, to the game, but first just one quick question - What the hell!? Why so little unit uprgades???? Like 2-3 per type and many of high-level can be seen in demo? Where are the Dragons? Eh, I hope that manual's content is just an example, and in game I'll find many, many upgrades during campaign, same as it was in Fantasy General... Or, I don't know, expansion pack maybe... xPPPPP

I'm loving it so far, and I really wish we got more games like this. Seems there's almost no room for intelligent strategy titles on the market any more, and that's a huge shame. Hopefully this one will do well and send a signal to the publishers out there, but they'll probably be too busy making mass market crap to notice. Rant over. Anyway, thanks to the devs and publishers of this great game.
