I was one of the beta testers of the game (Multiplayer)
Really nice graphics. But it really does have its weaknesses *unfortunately*. It lags increadibly much..*You will have to change the graphics to the lower settings*. I still find it odd that the graphics made it lag that much..they do not seem more requiring than other modern games I have on my computer.
Races: Wood Elves, Skaven, Lizardmen, Humans, Orcs, Chaos, Dwarves--- No Undead :/ Hopefully they will remedy this with putting more races in the patches *Hopefully not in expansions*
Gameplay: The beta version didn't allow you to try the blitzmode. The normal classic mode works good. I've heard from people that has already got the game that the computer has a bad AI. After playing the Multiplayer I can say that there will be a need for admins so people just don't leave the game when it's going bad for them..(hopefully people from Fumbbl will start some organised league in the game when it comes out).
Music: Way to repetive, they have like one song going on all the time in the game..And it gets annoying after a while.
It was not totally fullfilling for me, hopefully they have fixed some of the things that bugged me with the release...Hopefully they will release a lot of patches as well. The game was slow in many ways so I hope to see that redeemed.
BTW: BEWARE of the "NEXT" button when you create a team, since you can't go back =)
I agree, we should add engaging in melee with the wizard when the wizard is the last unit. I kind of felt bad winning against Ghabry last tournament in that way.
