"Don't like these OHV turn Based Games"
Good game, despite not being my favourite format, it's a bit of a grind and the narrative will never win any literary awards, but it has that sort of addictive quality that keeps you coming back. Sometimes the members of your army will do hilarious things which appear to be beyond your control, until you discover that you accidentally pressed some key which elicits said behaviour because of the time honoured tradition of never RTFM. The point and click mechanic seems trouble free, the graphics are colourful and bold, and the dialogue is comically awful but the music is great. I suspect the only real problem with this game is the 32Bit implementation that will likely require some kind of simulator to work on a modern PC. I run a dual operating system with Fedora Linux as the primary and Win7 as a standby and always try the games on Linux first, and that provides the ideal environment in the shape of WINE for games like this. The GOG modified installer works almost perfectly with WINE and so does Kings Bounty the Legend. As an aside for all the poor souls who only have Windows; I believe you can acquire a version of WINE for Windows, which may allow you to play this and many other games from the 32Bit era that you may have bought and discarded. WINE is open source software and won't cost you a penny; so you have nothing to lose by trying.
