This game fails in no way and excels in music and challenge to the point that I, a strategy gamer, enjoy the combat. I also liked the character selection a lot for some reason.

This game sucks for the 5 levels i chose to play it. Is there supposed to be a giant 'octopus' guy in the top left of the screen?

This and knytt stories (knytt #2) are a horrible eyestrain if not played on a HUGE screen. Platforming was fun enough for #2 due to ease and interruption of game when dying. So good for casual platforming fans. Game's main appeal is 'ambiance'.

Silly fun. The action is nice, mostly creative. The flowers and city are pretty. The power balance not being absurdly against the main character is something I appreciate. The science and moral are very very soft. Carnivores find a way! Bunch of plot holes too.

Played Planet Mule freeware remake. [Link removed - login to see]
Even with ai game takes too long because of unnecessary delays. Navigating the interface is part of gameplay and that is quite funny, also kind of fun. The strategy in game is weaker than many board games i have seen.

MEGAGLEST review:
Much better than glest. Has metaserver/matchmaker and multi mod (tech tree) support. AI is better stepped. Weaker then Spring (5 ppl in multiplayer vs 50) in every way except maybe installation and art direction. Especially the econ management is pointless and tedious.

Glest Advanced Engine
A bit better than glest, ads bunch of in game features, but MEGA glest still better. Buggier.

Glest review:
Free small, dl, runs right away, looks nice. Warcraft 2: the os remake. The amount of effort required to set up the economy in game is prohibitive. Interface lags behind it's OS contemporaries like Warzone or SpringRTS. AI is either very weak or overpowered. 2 races with 10 units each; so in imagination and complexity is not nearly up to standards. But then there's MEGAGLEST and [Link removed - login to see] !! or the wiki of mods and mod.db.

Oblivion has mods! but if you want more than one learn to follow 30 point instructions. DAO's face animations are way better. Voice acting and story (though much much more linear) too.The combat and I'm guessing most forms of gameplay are really weak. There's a mod for probably all these problems (gameplay for sure) but i got tired of trying to make them work together and fps rpg without gameplay is not my thing. Plus i spent so much time worrying about my inventory. Oh wait there's an interface rehaul and infinite carry mod...

I played Ren. expansion single. Econ light, rpg light, politics light, subterfuge management light. Obviously when this much stuff is combined some innovation happens at least by pure luck. Also mechanics documentation light. I could not find a written walkthrough or wiki. Only forum i could find : [Link removed - login to see]. If at any time you find something better please tell me.

Micromanagement is not repetitive grind its stupid grind. Instead of doing the same thing 100 times you do 100 different things that should not need more than two lines of script to automate. No wait, moving goods around is a horrible pain.

Ahh yes the pajama clad people; exploring space and spreading diplomacy in the biggest ship around. I am a fan.
