I don't remember KKND that well, I remember my brother had it and I thought it looked kinda cool. However, I can tell you to avoid KKND 2 like the plague. Absolute dross, pretty much a worthless C&C clone. Every side (Survivors, Evolved, or Series 9) are exactly the same and have all the same weapons. It looks, plays, and generally feels like C&C's weak cousin.

I have played "battle for wesnoth", GREAT GAME. Turn based strategy, multiple campaigns with very good stories (Especially the main one...Heir to the throne), lots of action, good unit selections. And one of my favorite features: recalling units from past scenarieos (i know i didn't spell that correctly....)
All in all, a really good game. Zekk |

I liked it too, but it didn't do it for me in the long run. It was way too much a wargame for me to really like it.

I forgot about Heroes of Might & Magic - I played the first game a long while back but none of the sequels. I may have to look around - I believe there is a compilation available with all or most of the games.
Thanks for the feedback on Battle for Wesnoth - the screenshots on the main site looked quite nice. I'm impressed with the quality given that its an Indie game. I'll download the latest version from their site and give it a try. I'm not always into the war aspect, but if done right, or if the story is strong enough, it may hook me. |

If you happen to like Master of Magic, I suggest you try Age of Wonders or it's sequel. Both are great games, and shouldn't be that hard to get.

and what makes you think that open source can't be independent

When I said Indie, I meant it as a blanket term referring to a game/program not being released my a major manufacturer, not on store shelves, no million dollar ad campaign, etc. I usually consider open source projects to full under that generic term, though I could be using the term incorrectly.

Hmm, my bad, I guess it could. This is what wikipedia has to say:

You could try the Warlords series. I was in LOVE with Warlords 3. I remember wasting away an entire WEEK on this game. It's even got army customization, random level generators, and hotseat multiplayer. Half that week was spent playing with friends!
