just a few questions 'cause i'm curious - i was bored the other day so i downloaded two demos (couldn't be bothered finding the full versions; the 'download free demo now' ads worked, haha) of disciples 2 and they were fun, for about half an hour each.

any of you play TBS? do you play online? favourite games?

i have a craving for HoMaM again - i think they're up to 4 - but i might borrow it. i've never played online, sounds like too much waiting.

the best would have to be the HoMM series... its up to 4 now yes... wif 1 or 2 expansions out atm

HoMM4 is nice in that ur hero can actually take part in the battle... u can even have a full hero army

age of wonders is also a good TBS... theres AoW1 and now 2 wif a few expansions... quite similar to HoMM...

Oh yeah, Warlords II got me into the whole TBS thing :D I used to play ALL the different ... races? things.. man that game owned.

When I was bored I'd make them all crazy elite computer-only players and sit back and watch them divide and conquer.

And yes, I was a very sad child. :p

HoMM series are my favourite. i think it's basically because you are in control all the time since it is turn based? Love the ideas of heroes battling. i pumped mine to be a super strong machine that can take down 20 black dragons, sweer heh?

LOL. but thats not turn base though. i hate warcraft and starcraft... normal strategy games are lame... but diablo 2 on the other hand is different story. best game ever... although my best char died on Bnet... sometime ago. :(
