Any thoughts on Hell?  Anything at all unique or innovative about it?

Looks like Battle Academy engine in the video.

^It is.

Very tempting here as most titles I do not own...but I need more time to actually play everything included here :(

Faraway,

Hell is basically a fantasy version of Battle Academy.  I like it a lot, but then I like the Battle Academy game engine and I like fantasy based battles.

Good context, thanks.  I like the BA engine but found the game play pretty reminiscent of a lot of other titles I've played.

Battle Academy 2 has a skirmish mode, with semi-randomly generated battles. I think that this would give it greater re-playability. I am waiting on a price drop to jump in.

That's a pretty awesome bundle, but I need more games right now like I need more podcasts to edit.  O:-)

Is Gateway to Caen any good?

question for any one who bought it. Are the keys for individual games so you can give away the ones you already have?

The keys are for individual game.  I picked the bundle up because I did not have any of them except one and I really wanted Gateway to Caen.

Holy crap, Steam is selling CC: Gateway to Caen for $39.99.  ??? That makes this deal something to jump on...if CC: Gateway to Caen is good, of course. Played it yet, PE?

Have not had a chance yet, but I did look at some LPs and read up on it.... enough good in there to warrant me picking it up.

FYI Hell uses the BA2 engine, and does include a random skirmish generator.  The original BA doesn't have skirmish built in, though there are some user mods which gen random battles available to download.

Cheers

I've been on the edge of pulling the trigger on Qvadriga for months.  Glad I waited.

It is a nice bundle...only one I am interested in is CC: Gateway to Caen, certainly likely worth $10 itself....maybe this weekend.
