Many have Charge attacks - some at equal strength to normal, and some have most of their power in a charge. Honestly, the best review I can give is to just write out a lot of the core mechanics so you can see the nuance in the combat systems, and they ARE the game. The Western Imperial Legion was sent to face the highland raiders, and with the help of the Borderland clans Iseal and Machnar, killed High King Brendan in the battle of Wyrm’s Pass. Fed up with these constant attacks, the Borderland Clans called on the Empire for help – a powerful realm controlling the land from the Scarlett Mountains to Cynehelm Valley and the Hoarwood. In the Highlands of Fareach, Clans of Barbarian warriors have eked out a living in the harsh northern climate, constantly feuding with each other and raiding the wealthier Borderland towns. Three hundred years have passed since the Shadow Wars have ravaged Keldonia and the world of Aer, and the struggles of the past have long since faded into legends. Or take advantage of the built-In scenario editor to make your own battles. Play through a 33 scenarios campaign, or take it to skirmish, either against the AI or in multiplayer. Vanquish your enemies through a combination of military might, guile and magical prowess. Alternatively, Lords of Magic can be a good option for another highly strategic game, though this one sure plays a little different than your everyday hex based.Fantasy General II: Invasion is the return of a strategy classic from the 90s! Fight exciting turn-based 3D tactical battles leading a variety of fantasy units, heroes and creatures, level them up and carry them over from one scenario to the next.
At any rate, give it a try, you should not be disappointed. Graphically the 2D maps and the way information is conveyed work as good as you can wish for, so that will be alright not the prettiest game out there, but stylish enough just as well. The game offers you two distinct factions, each with its own unique units, slightly different and slightly inviting to different types of play, but I think that overall, whatever faction you play your experience will be pretty similar in terms of your involvement and strategy. The game's theme is a fantasy one, but fear not, if you've done your apprenticeship in regular WWI or WWII games, you'll be right at home in Fantasy General, controls wise and style of play wise. In Fantasy General you have the option of playing the campaign included or going for the multiplayer route, which allows you to play hot seat against your friends. Check out Star General for SSI's sci-fi take on the genre which is just as good. The combat is exciting and challenging with plenty of opportunities for different tactics and overall this is an entertaining slice of fantasy strategy that is well worth seeking out. The graphics are unspectacular but are certainly serviceable and there are some neat designs which mix fantasy with steampunk-style sensibilities and there is a lot of attention to detail. While Fantasy General doesn't do anything particularly new or original, it does manage to get everything pretty much right which makes it a good choice for genre fans and newcomers alike. There is a good mix of units available across various classes, including expected types like cavalry and archers and more unusual ones like siege engines and sky hunters and while the range of options might not be extensive, it does provide plenty of options for differing force types. Battles take place over a range of environment types on hex-based maps and which each present their own tactical challenges, with certain units proving more effective in some than in others and which adds a nice extra element of strategy to proceedings.
The main focus of the game is the combat but there are other elements like recruiting, technology research and resource management which are straightforward enough but make for a nice diversion.
#Fantasy general 2 classes series#
Taking control of one of four heroes, each with their own special abilities, players must engage in a series of squad-level battles against the Shadowlords forces and generals. Coming from the SSI stable which produced similar WWII sims like Panzer General, this one places players into a fairly traditional fantasy world where the evil Shadowlord is attempting to seize control of the land.
Now this is a game which does exactly what it says on the tin and which does it with style, depth and variety and which makes for a fine fantasy-themed strategy sim.
