Anyone familiar with this? It's an open source turn based strategy game (fantasy setting). Very retro but also quite good actually. I miss turn based games.

Source code available too. (Win, Mac and I think Linux versions.)

Yeah, I like to have it on my Powerbook for a quick game to relief boredom. I don't play it at home because I don't have that many games to choose from there, and my powerbook is the only computer with me when abroad!

I've had it for a month or so, I play it from time to time.

When I first tried it, they had a video tutorial on youtube, but it was removed for copy right infringement during that whole Viacom thing. No one could firugre out why pon the forums, it was all just video of the game.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

It is the worst type of turn-based.  Just winning a battle isn't enough you have to win with prefection and powerlevel your units, otherwise you'll quickly fall behind on the power curve.  End result is very repetitive and fustrating.

I play it off and on.  There isn't anything revolutionary about it.  Expect a solid turn based strategy game with mediocre sprite graphics.

Most of the scenarios I have played don't require anything close to power leveling (though the option is there if you desire.)  I have found care of your units becomes pretty important on higher levels of difficulty but that's pretty much standard for most games of this genre.  Care to expand?
