Battle Realms

Its been a long time since I've played it, and its still one of my favourite games. Too bad cravo - or was it liquid entertainment? whatever - no longer continue to produce Battle Realms games.

It has an amazing storyline like no other game, it allows players to choose their path, thus getting different heroes, and even a different storyline. Especially when you have to choose to join the Serpent Clan or the Dragon Clan.

And the fact that you have to wait for peasants to appear before training them to higher tiers sets a new strategy to RTS. And having to harvest rice, water, Yin/Yang points and tame horses for your troops, Battle Realms is quite challenging at times.

There are four different clan, Dragon, Serpent, Lotus and Wolf, all with their strengths and cons. And you have to have a variety of troops instead of just 3rd tiers as this game focus more on strategy than on brute force.

Having said all that, I hope some company will make a Battle Realms 2 or another expansion.

Battle Realms is an amazing gameplay experience that you will never forget.
