Brutal Eldar keep me coming back
Some 30 years ago I collected every Eldar miniature and felt mystical awe while reading about the mystical Harlequins. Then there was Rites of War. It offered a unique imagination of Eldar, as extremely brutal and rugged. I loved it. In all other depictures of Eldar, they are soft and fragile. They might still have a hidden and black agenda, but most they act as a bunch of wimps in comparison to RoW. So, I crave for another go at RoW. Yet, it will take another 4 to 5 years to forget how awful and terrible RoW is as a strategy game. Basically, you make a defensive line, wait a couple of turns to let the enemy break its neck on your defenses, and then mop up the remaining stranglers on the map, and maybe find a few artifacts here and there. The strategic options are very limited. You have units with an attack range between 1 and 3. It works like paper-rock-scissors, 2 kills 1, 3 kills range 2 and 1 kills range 3. There is a bit more depth, with range 2 providing support to nearby units, psykers that utilize a few spells, and terrain that affect unit movement based on their movement type. Oh, and keep a line. That´s about it. You might have some fun with leveling up units, despite that it hardly has impact on the game, as your enemies level up accordingly.
