rah. im about to start the undead campaign. thoughts so far :
1) no ships? i suppose its since naval vessels (as in being able to build em) dont fit into a skirmish game, which is what this is. Its what Age of Empires is, but the designers are too proud to admit that their engine sucks with regards to having decent numbers of units on screen.
2) niiiiiiice videos. the one at the end of the human campaign was pretty stupid tho.
3) the manual sucks. itd be nice if it said stuff like what units are good against what. but all it says is whether its ranged/melee and what it can shoot at.
4) B.net is nice. my brand new ADSL line is proving its worth now. precisely 0% lag. oh and i won my first match. admittedly because my ally got my to activate shared units, and relegated me to base building guy while he romped around with my units & hero, but hey.
5) the human sorceroress... the obligatory "funny" unit.
6) nice water graphics. although they seem fond of having ponds that have about a million gallons of water pouring out of them a second, but no apparent methods for water to get inside the pond. wierd.
[edit] Ugh. i suck at B.net. 2 wins, 7 losses. yay.[/edit]
