![]() ![]() ![]() all three may be fantasy flavored, but ultimately aow and el end up feeling burdensome to me, whereas homm is still the epitome of just one more turn. ![]() imo these three factors contribute to homm games playing much more like role playing games within a strategy framework, whereas aow and el are definitively strategy games first and foremost, incorporated with just a hint of rpg mechanics.
