Ok so it's not really MMO, but I couldn't resist the title.

Anyone seen this, or played it? It sounds quite interesting. TBS is such a hard genre to get to work in MP as compared to FPS/RTS, I'm intrigued with what they have done here.

The game admittedly looks quite simple, but there are a lot of units with various abilities.

It's like Final Fantasy Tactics, minus the interesting terrain.

Well you have some flexibility but 3 knights, a lightning ward, a barrier ward, a cleric, an enchantress, a witch, a scout and an assassin is my setup of choice at the moment, though I am new to the game.

I don't know if I'll play it past today, since I have lots of games lined up. However, it is deceptively complex, and with different unit formations and slightly different unit compositions used by every player, no two games are the same.

Unless you are playing Tic Tac Toe, no two games of any game are the same.

Well true, but right from the first move the game is different, and different strategies are relevant. This is not true of chess, or even many TBS games like Civ where, although the games are different, the openings are very similar.

I'm on the one on the far right (I forget the name) as DrSpike.

I thought someone had logged in from here earlier, as there was a player called Spike is best. They refused to play me though.

Yeah I saw you there, but you were playing. I'm quitting for today now, since I just lost a marathon game due to an unbelievably fluky string of blocks against the odds.

I might be on this weekend though.
