Yes, Yes (I would say it has elements of both but remains unique), and yes it does have a hot seat mode.

One of the unique features is it has a technology tree of sorts in the way you upgrade units, for example with a squire you can build a building to upgrade to a knight or a building to upgrade to a witchhunder but not both. The squire will upgrade on his own when he meets the experiance level. That is another thing that is different. You only produce the basic units and they upgrade themselves when they get the experiance and if the buildings are available. If the building is not available they will stay at one less experiance than they need for the next upgrade. You also need to keep melee fighters in the front (right side of the hero sheet, I found this out the hard way with my cleric and mage types in the front lines for several battles)


Oh, and I do have a questions, If I were to start a campaign over from scratch with a new race would there be new maps and objectives to go through or are they the same? It almost doesn't make sense to have the same objectives if playing another race.
