<div class="IPBDescription">Whoa.</div> There was a topic on this, yes, but more for the beta and it's old enough I was uncomfortable bringing it back up... So, if this is inappropriate please lock/do whatever. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
However. I must speak of the awesomeness of this game. It is... awesome. And you must play it. Since the SP demo came out today, you can. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Hell, the cinematic alone is worth the download!
Relic rules. They've got the Starcraft/Warcraft formula (in the interface and such; I know Warhammer came first), but with enough new stuff added on top to really add some awesome depth to the game. Morale is fun to play with, cover makes for some great tactics, and individual unit equipping leads to super-neato squad loadouts and variation. Hooah. Much love. *hug*

Fileplanet also has a thing to enter to win an alienware. If you care about that sort of thing. Meh.

Its far better then WC3 (which I do not like very much).
The way the Dreadnought (the walker thing) picks up enemy units and literally squezing them to death (lots o blood).
And the structures are great too, when you place it a drop pod falls from the sky and your servitors go over and gets the thing into place.
Drop pods also fall upon the drop areas of the structure you are training troops in.

Not even near Wacraft III.
You know, that's not a response I expected. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Man, I haven't played a TBS since Alpha Centauri. That was a great game. Tried Moo3, but it just wasn't nearly as good as MOO2. I guess I did give Imperium Galactica II a shot... That wasn't too bad, actually, but I just never got that into it. But yeah. Are there any recent TBS hits I should check out?
Too bad the demo crashed when i were about to begin a game, my lovely ATI-card has failed me once more. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hmm, which ATI card? MY 9800 had no issues with it. Ran beautifully, in fact, I can probably crank it a bit higher (had it at 1024, highest settings).
...if not for the fact that the installer always hangs whenever I run it. I dont want to go through the trouble of redownloading it either XD

It did that for me, too, but I just waited it out for a few minutes and it worked fine. Maybe try giving it a little extra time before you kill it?

TBS games rule your ponce. Recently, or at least semi recently, we got UFO: Aftermath.
It's a very good game and very strategic, it just doesent do justice to the earlier UFOs.
Great game nevertheless.
On topic tho, I liked the FMV and the actual complexion of the game. (especially the cutscenes. Done some nice work with an RTS engine) But my 9100 doesent like the masses of units chewing eachother up.
yup, back to not agreeing with Quaunaut in any way at all, again.
Personally, I think it's the best RTS since Total Annihilation. The gameplay forces you to be wonderfully aggressive while still maintaining a semi-high level of tactics (more than warcraft 3, around Starcraft's level, I'd say), the morale implementation is so much more than just a gimmick, the graphics are completely out of this world, and the intro is simply the best intro I've seen in years. Mucho impressive.
And thank god for that. I can't stand the heroes in WC3 half the time I feel like I'm playing some crappy RPG...
And I'm loving Warhammer. Nothing since Total Annihilation, Starcraft and Red Alert has gotten me this addicted to an RTS. The resource model is awesome. The animations are superb and even those Uber units are balanced. The only thing that needed fixing in the beta balance wise was entangle which they've done. It's about time someone comes out with a game to dethrone WC3 and possibly get Blizzard to make SC2
It is great, the whole feeling is verry comfortable, the resource system is nice, and it looks beatufull.
+ on the buy list.

Weird... Im the exact opposite, the fact that you control heroes and not just a large squad of units is the reason i like WC3. Before WC3, I hated RTS games, but now i love em...so ATM im downloading the demo...hopefully it lives up to the hype.
Well, if you like squad based TBS, <a href='http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/' target='_blank'>Laser Squad Nemesis</a> is pretty cool.
