I've been playing this for the last couple of days and I've got to say that it's looking pretty smooth

This game is definately for anyone that enjoyed Warcraft2 and all its Peons, Pesants and Paladins.

The biggest difference in this version would of course have to be the fact that there are four races to choose from instead of just the two, now instead of just humies and orcs busting each others gut you have a choice of Undead (fast producing, not quite so tough IMO) and Night elves (Havn't tried these guys fully yet but I prefer their heroes to anyone elses)

- yes you can now produce heroes (From your town hall, so you can summon them as soon as the game starts if you wish) these heroes will gain levels and special abilities as the game progresses, they also have an inventory where you can place stuff from healing potions to scrolls of town portal to crystal balls to tomes of experience to belts of giant strength to... the list goes on.

There are also "unaligned" creatures on the map i.e. creatures that will attack anyone. These creatures usually guard something of significance
whether it's a gold mine, a mercenary outpost (Where you can hire extra troops), a pool of healing etc... (I think there's about five or six different types of buildings that you can buy or hire from).
These creatures range from the very easy to kill gnoll poachers up to the extremely hard to kill (without more than 20 troops [img]smile.gif[/img] ) Granite Goloms.

Disclaimer: As this is just the beta version, some or all of what I have typed here may not be in the final version, I just wanted to give you an idea of what this awesome game is going to be like. [img]smile.gif[/img]
