One side has few units and strong technology, the other low tech and masses of units. The fighting centers on control of the asteroid belt of the system, the two planets are tapped out of resources. The game will feature 8 player and single player campaigns, units that gain experience as they go along and will be scenario based. Current estimate is a early 2000 release date. Disciples looked and played a bit like Heroes , but focuses on small numbers of units.
Armies can have only six.
Each unit can gain experience and extra powers. You can play as own of four fantasy races, each with it's own campaign. Look for an August release. My favorite at first blush was Clans . The game includes 7 massive levels and you can play as one of four different clans, each with it's own special abilities.
