What? You don't need to have battering rams, catapults or giants to attack walled cities in AoW2?

Actually flying units and heroes with wall climbing work too.

In Aow the computer sometimes send in huge mob with just one battering ram to attack my cities. All I need to do is to concentrate on the ram to take it out before it breaches the wall. That's great fun watching a huge mob wandering around outside unable to attack your small garrison

Still playing Grand theft auto 3, mostly. Trying to complete it 100%.

-All my heroes in AoW had wall climbing sooner or later, and i built forces with lots of ranged units and wall climbing and flying ones. The ranged units could fire over the wall to soften up the defenders, the hero and flying units would finish the job. Heroes could also just use high level magic to achieve the job.

Oh my, how could I forget my favourite, Master of Magic from my list...

[Victor Galis]

My AoW strategy involved a lot of fast and/or flying units and guerrila tactics.

I found AoW2 very hard to get into. It has "improved" in ways I don't like so its hit the back of the shelf while I concentrate on NWN.

[CapitanGarlic]

Lessee here... Civ3, Morrowind, HoMMIV, My SNES emulator, and a few others off and on.

(in no particular order)

'Zackly what didn't you like about it??

- Only one campaign and it seems to be leading you through the magic skills in a set order. Not as flexible as AoW where you could not only be good or evil but take different skills/magic each time.

- Movement rates are now so high and hexes less easy to judge thanks to the 3d effects that you can't tell whether you are in range of an enemy force or where A will intersect B.

- I found the city management and combat less intuitive at first glance.

- The first scenario map was full of bizarre teleporters.

Like I say these were observations formed after only a couple of hours play. When I decide to go back to it and get past the first scenario I may revise my opinions.

[Victor Galis]

Teleporters are bad... high movement can be either good or bad, depending on sight radius. It might complicate my guerilla warfare strategy or it might simplify it.

Civ3
SMAC (always)
FIFA 2002 World Cup (nice graphics, that's all)
Grand Prix 3
Outcast

and I'm planning to reinstall SC3000...

[FlameFlash]

SMAC/SMAX
CtP
then sometimes a RPG of some kind or another... started to replay Chrono Cross but then realized I was too tired to really appreciate the story so I'll be starting over probably... but who knows.

Would like to get some more games for my GBA too... *wishes had more money.*
