While I am still having fun with Avernum 6, I just recently got my hands on a copy of AoW: SM from a friend's discs. I feel bad as its a free-be. It is truly an amazing game! The graphics are a bit weird. Sometimes they are stunning, but other times... pixelated. Overall, I think the graphics are just fine, even by today's standards. But the gameplay... WOW! Every little detail was thought out and given intelligent complexity. I like elemental and do not want to criticise it as others are doi

First off, I'd like to say that Elemental is a great game. Due to its being an indie game, it was my thought these forums would contain a very high concentration of intelligent gamers. By reading these posts as well as the in-depth analysis of possible Elemental improvements, I have been proven right. So it says a lot about Stardock, that I believe the opinions of their forum members is so valuable. Anyways, I'm still

Playing Avernum 6 right now. Its a VERY good game. There is a lot of reading, which is actually good because it doesn't suck. And they actually used a spell checker. I really suggest people try avernum. I went with 6 since it gives a fully open game window with the interface as an overlay. It also runs at numerous resolutions. Elemental needs to take this game and have it be their tactical battle window.

The story of 1 is summarised in II, but apart from the different plot the only changes I believe are some optional difficulty tweaks - you can have items degrade over time, require food and drink to survive and similar. You might also want to check out the Spiderweb Software series of RPG's, they're turn based too. Avernum is entirely turn and party based, Gene

The only part of wizardry 8 that I did not like was knowing it was the last of its kind.

1.) The city names on the map sometimes show a different city name, though the details at the bottom of the page are always correct. Sometimes the city name is one of my cities, sometimes an opponents city. 2.) After taking over an opponents city, it remained stuck at level 1 and would not upgrade no matter how many people it had. Are you sure it was an oponents city and not one owned by the mobs? 3.) Afte

By RTS you mean real time strategy or? Really Terrific Software... I certainly didn't mean RTS like starcraft 2 or stalking weirdos at walmart (http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/)

wow, thanks for all of the great ideas. I looked up Eschalon and really like what I see! It seems to have that ultima online type of feel to it, I just hope the turn based combat is involved. Should I do book 1 before 2, or just jump right into 2 (my preference). If that doesnt scratch the itch, I think I will check out Kings Bounty. I really did like HOMM5, but the campaign just felt kind of flat. There also seemed to be something with the momentum in HOMM5. Its difficult to explain,

I am really enjoying Elemental. However I feel it needs some more work. It just feels like I have to make too many concessions each game and am not really challenged. Also, the simplicity of the tactical battles was a HUGE dispointment and really kills my desire to start a fresh game... I like indie devs, and support this game as well as Darkfall, just so we can have more variety and push the quality of AAA games. I feel like their hands were tied as far as release date and its either support
