I was waiting and hoping gog would add this as it's one of my favorites of all time and spent months playing this as a kid. Lo and behold I saw it today and knew it was an instant buy. The game functions a little differently from other rts games as the only real resources are trees and mana. You get mana from your followers and you carefully have to balance your fighting forces since only basic villagers give it. Of course what I enjoy most about the game is the spells. Nothing like taking your shaman to the enemy village, dropping some swarms, tornadoes, and lightning bolts then watching as your fighting forces attack in the chaos. The only thing I feel this game is missing is some sort of skirmish mode with additional maps where you can face off against the computer. But otherwise a solid game that will keep you entertained for hours
I absolutely loved this game back in the day and spent hours crafting the perfect dungeon. It may be a little dated now, but still fun. Hopefully the bugs can be worked out.
Having played all 3 in the series I definitely have the fondest memories of this one. Sure 2 and 3 offered more bobs and whistles but there was just something about the first that kept my attention for weeks on end. I remember taking fores frontiers and just filling it to the brim with rides turning it into the best park I could then every so often shutting down the park and starting again using the funds I earned. I don't think I ever beat all the scenarios, but there were a lot there and each created a unique challenge that sometimes took some planning but was always doable. I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to build a theme park or you just enjoy building game play and are looking for something different than a city builder.
