These games are - to surprise to just about anyone - really, really good. Play a Warrior, don't really care about the other details.

Magic is actually really good as an army size equalizer but that's usually not the damage spells (we already have slow - slow is utterly. loving. fantastic.). Also, this is the first of many times it'll probably sound in the thread, but gently caress necromancers.

I really need to give Crossworlds another shot. I burned out on it pretty early because I got it along with this one and went straight from finishing Legends to it. Bad idea.

Never tried these games, though I saw a friend play them a bit. I appear to have Crossworlds GOTY from something or other, is that part of the Armoured Princess games, judging from the cover shot?
Crossworlds is Armored princess + some arena minicampaigns + the expansion/balance pack Orcs On The March. If you launch it, make sure to play Orcs On The March, it's integrated into the campaign of Armored Princess, making it pretty much the definite version.
Perfectly clear, right?

e: Basically, if you want to be the princess, play the orcs.

One thing that you can miss in an SSLP is that this game is a thing of beauty in motion. Most notably in this case, Thorns have less in common with the Zerg than they do puppies.

So goddamn adorable.
drat, I forgot about the scratching animation. These guys are just great.

Someone was mentioning that it's a shame you can't recruit the big red one: you can get them later in the game, they're basically a cheaper, weaker high-level unit.

Mind you, if you find the idea of holding a painting above your head in battle to scare the enemy, you're going to love Dark Side's use of paintings. Nothing like porn when it comes to army motivation.

Royal Snakes are a serious contender for the best unit in the game. I can really only think of one situation where I wouldn't want them in my army and I don't think this game has that mechanic yet.
