combat is great. ai is good, multiplayer is better. stacking drastically reduces micromanagement. plus, unit types (that have advantages and vulnerabilities), and operations (strategic spells), keep stacks of doom from growing out of control. put all your units in one stack and watch the ai nuke it (operation) to hell without even touching it.

next to the keyboard, a wacom intuos 3 is my main method of input; really only switching to a mouse for real-time gaming. for decades i relied heavily on the mouse, only using wacoms for design, but a few years ago i started suffering from a neuro-physiological imbalance akin to half-body carpel tunnel (being right handed, my right side of course), and just sitting for extended periods can be rather painful, let alone mousing for 10+ hours a day. as a result i began relying on the

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="41" id="3425134"] *snip[/quote] The only possible explanation for your post is that you missed the part where Frog said "It wouldn't be a major game project.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="28" id="3425060"] whst we would do with a wom remake is start it after the third elemental game is done and creste wom as a branch in that tree. It wouldn't be a major game project.

Give Legendary Heroes a War of Magic make-over, and release it as either an expansion entitled "Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - Legendary War"; or as a stand-alone entitled just "Elemental: Collectors Edition". Toss in multi-player and call it "Elemental: Tome of Masters". Also, polish the hell out of it, and tighten up modding support. I'll buy it, and I'm a man of my word.

Reply to ELEMENTALgames.org Wiki for Legendary Heroes is now live! in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I've made the Wiki as intuitive to edit as possible, and there is a section near the bottom of the home page with some additional tips and guides. In general, once you've logged in just click the Edit links or the red, broken page links around the site and you will be presented with a text formatting box very similar to the one I'm typing this in right now.

I think the first game to get me like that when I was young, where I felt totally immersed in the character and world, was Quest for Glory 1 (still one of the best RPG series ever designed if you haven't experienced it yet). Once MMO's rolled in, it was Shadowbane that captivated me the most.

it's not a wide game (yet), but it is deep. while it may be simple, it's also very refined. the tight game play, streamlined ui, and presentation are worth checking out. got me for a "omg is that the sun!?" this morn. plus the developers are quite active; the forums are starting to fill up. a solid launch with a lot of potential - 87
