Great game
I am still learning the game after about 15 hours played. But it is really fun playing. In the beginning easy on slow speed was very difficult. And now after learning units and strategies, the same battles that ended in the enemy massacring my armies over and over end int great victories. A few tips: WC2 has the same units as WC1 and you find most informations about their abilities if you look for the first game in the sequel not the second. In combat similar to Age of Empires 2 always have your units partrol in. The army will fight far more effective. There are very tanky units that can not hit flying units. So even a cheap flyer may take them on where you would loose a whole army of ground troops. Some units do tripple damage to heros, some do tripple damage to dwarfs and so on. Some units can not be hit by arrow towers... There is a lot of knowlegde involved to choose a usefull army composition. But that makes it so much fun. And developing the hero adds a whole new layer to this. And then there are spellcasters and heros casting spells. Which also adds a layer of possibilites. I also like the base building. You can build all around the map, if you have the ressources. And the system of ressource gathering by converting mines and increasing production by adding workers is also done well and forces ongoing confrontation. Runs stable on Windows 7. But ironmen heros can only be saved in Windows XP and before. And even though there are some high resolution options, the two highest may result in crashes, if I read this correctly. But the 3rd worked well enough for me.
Is this helpful to you?
