Ultra cheap at only $50 once off to get the software and an account on the Internet. I get more channels(in HD I might ad) than I get on cable so tomorrow I reckon I'm going to cancel my cable subscription. Thought I'd share this with you guys, worth to check out.

It's wildly attractive and it seems well-balanced (particularly considering the volume of units and unit abilities). The Zatikon forums are pretty darned active, and the player community appears quite vocal in terms of play-balancing the new additions. If I remember correctly, the AI has an infinite number of units, so using the abjurer to un-summon one of his men simply gives the effect of pushing back the tide. (Don't misinterpret me because it can be effective, especially against high-cost enemies.) Yes, the AI may not respawn the same unit I bounce, but that bears little weight to my strategy since his numbers generally outweigh my concern over his unit type. I don't understand your second point. Maybe that's something new I've yet to see. Anyway, Zatikon is best played with another human (be it through versus or co-op). I've seen several army conceits that entertained me solely through their creative thought. I stopped playing due to time.

The sergeant allows a single ally to act at no cost, although I find his use with the hydra a little excessive. (That's how I'm beating up the AI.) Also, I failed to mention that this game requires connection to Zatikon servers -- even for single player. While that's no problem for me, others may find it startling. The developer does a great job in supporting this game. Since I've started playing (sometime around the chieftain's introduction, or for the uninitiated: 19 April 09) he has updated the game six times to balance units, fix bugs, and introduce new agents.

They changed the sergeant to balance the game againt the overrange. Also, i think you wrote it wrong, about the new sergeant ability. Now it can make one unit act without costing action points. Good review, congratz Kran This game is really very nice. They changed the sergeant to balance the game againt the overrange. Also, i think you wrote it wrong, about the new sergeant ability.
