Yay! This game was an old favourite of mine! This one looks pretty good, too, with the new, shiny graphics and music (and pleasantly morbid battle sound effects). Also, special powers.
The castle-siege bits are interesting, too, although I didn't really follow a different strategy when fighting, just sent the men a-slaughtering. Sometimes I found the graphics a little bit too detailed and the figures too tiny - I had some trouble seeing them properly, which was a drawback when I needed to think quickly about which units to send out to the field. Nevertheless, happy to see this coming out!
Also: multiple units and mouse control are both huge improvements, they make the gameplay much easier.
And finally, a tiny plot hole: I played as the undead, who, as far as I know, should have absolutely no reason to go to war for food. Or did they all starve to death and now they are risen to avenge themselves?
I was much happier with the controls. I played this one first before going back to the older one and struggled greatly with only using the keyboard.
and you're right! The undead don't eat. Minor overlook or something is more sinister brewing?
In any case, you bringing this to light literally made me laugh out loud and then do some wondering of my own.
