Tried other could have been RTS / RPG crossovers and they all fell very short.

Warcraft 3
Spellforce
The D&D one :thumbsdown:

Not one had a persisent hero. My friends and I all love the concept and the RPG feel of it, but the game does get old after awhile. WB3 does it best with the in battle and after battle lvl ups. It makes you care about each match soo much more when you have that caracter you are trying to develop.

Anyway I have looked and looked and looked in vain. Anyone see one out there? It doesn't have to be fantasy based. Heck I think a TA type game with something like that would be awesome.

If anyone knows anyone in the devlopment biz, I don't see how there couldn't be money in this, as it is a sorely overlooked selling point. Eh maybe I am wrong and my friends and I are just some of the few who enjoy having a hero to develop as well as a war to fight, but I don't think so.

Yeah mulitplayer and single player. Warlords Battle Cry lets you play with the same hero in either. Not sure if that is the case with all versions, also not sure if that is a good idea. Opens up easier routes to cheating I would guess. I do definatly like the ability to take my hero into battle leading my armies against my friends though. :)


On another note Warcraft 3 would not have been bad if you could field more troops. Felt so limited. A game of minor skirmishes rather than real battles. I was hoping someone would make a hack/mod to "fix" that but I haven't seen one.

I thought Spellforce was pretty good in this regard. The hero is definitely persistent and customise-able. Spellforce 2 will be out later this year and by all accounts will be a big improvement over the original. I agree that Dragonshard sucked donkey balls.

Fenixgoon - Warhammer has a persistent Hero? If so that game sounds good. I have been meaning to try it anyway as I have heard nothing bad about it, only good.

Dethfrumbelo - I didn't remember Spellforce having the persistent hero. I am going to have to dig to find that one again.

Thanks
