Advanced Daisenryaku - Deutch Dengeki Sakusen  Sega (Sega;System Soft)1991Game description from [b]Nebelwurfer[/b]:

[i]Advanced Military Commander is a strategy wargame which recreates the major battles of World War II. Individual battles from 1939 to 1945 can be fought, or the player can take part in a campaign of connected scenarios which span the entire war period. In the campaign the player directs the Germans. It is possible for the Germans to do better than they did historically and invade Britain, capture Egypt, or knock the Soviets out of the war.

The game is turn based. You move and attack with all your forces and then your computer opponents do likewise. As the war progresses, scenarios take progressively longer to complete as the number of units you are allowed to control increases as well as the size of the maps you are fighting on.

It will require persistance and dedication to complete the campaign. You will probably need an average of 10 hours to complete each scenario. When you consider that you will have to work through 20 or so scenarios, you are talking about 150-200 hours of playing time. Why devote so much time to a game with such dated graphics and lame sound effects?

One reason to keep playing is that the tanks, planes and ships are constantly being improved during the war, and you can upgrade your veterans to the newer models. This gives the game something of an RPG flavor and you can get quite attached to some of your units whose experience took a long time to build up. Its also interesting to see how much more capable the late war tanks are than the ones being used at the outset.

Of course the other reason is to try and do better than the historical outcome. If you were in command, could the D-Day invasion have been driven back into the sea? Could the Battle of the Bulge have succeeded in capturing Antwerp leading to an Armistance on the Western Front? Or could you hold off the Soviets at the gates of Berlin?

During the course of the war you will have some interesting decisions to make about the composition of your force pool. You can build up a huge air force, but bad weather can render them useless. How many slots do you want to have tied up with transport vehicles? There are many units that can barely move and have to be transported to get to the front lines.

There's also a Rock/Scissors/Paper aspect to the different unit types. Some are good against aircraft, some are good against infantry units, some are good against armored vehicles. So you don't want to lean too heavily on any one type.

People who like fast paced arcade action should look elsewhere. But if you like puzzle solving and can put up with a limited amount of resource management, you will find a lot to like here.[/i]

Ancient Beast Freezing Moon? Internet Onlylabelminimizeminimize
Ancient Beast Freezing Moon2012Ancient Beast is a turn based strategy indie game project, played online against other people, featuring a wide variety of items and creatures to acquire and put to good use in order to defeat your opponents.

It's the year 2653. In the last centuries, technology advanced exponentially and everyone had a fair chance of playing God. With help from the RepRap project, a free desktop 3d printer, which gave anyone power to build their own weapon factory or genetic laboratory on their own property. Mechanic parts or genetic modifications turned from a fashion option into a requirement for survival.

Despite their combined efforts, the world's governments couldn't prevent the world from plunging into chaos. The Earth has become a battlefield; split between 7 factions fighting for dominion over the ravaged landscape. The apocalypse is here, and only the strong will survive.

[b]Gameplay[/b]
In order to play Ancient Beast, you'll needed to register an account. After logging in, you'll be offered a level 1 creature to get you started. Fights take place between 2 - 4 players, on a variety of combat fields which are about 16x9 hexes. Based on the difficulty of the fight, you can win gold coins, which can be spent in the shop in order to purchase items or unlock more creatures.

Players are represented on the combat field by Dark Priests. All creature stats can be improved by purchasing items. Players can level up by gaining experience on the combat field, gaining 1 more plasma point each level, being able to materialize more and/or better creatures. In order to materialize a creature you own, it takes a number of plasma points equal to the creature's level plus the number of hexagons it occupies. Any creature owned can be materialized once per combat, provided the player has enough plasma points to do so.
When fighting players of lower levels, you will temporarely lose plasma points in order to balance the fight.

After engaging in combat, players are taken to the battle field where both parties take turns to materialize and control creatures. Each player can materialize one or two creatures every round, which usually suffer from materialization sickness, meaning they won't be able to act in the current round.

Health: A raw number representing the amount of damage a creature can take until it dies.
Regrowth: Amount of health which gets restored to the creature every round.
Endurance: If a creature takes over a certain amount of damage in a round, it becomes fatigued, unable to act.
Energy: Doing any action, including moving, drains energy from the creature.
Meditation: Creature gains back this amount of energy points every round.
Initiative: Creatures with higher initiative get to act faster each round.
Offense: Influences the damage output of attacks.
Defense: Protects the creature by reducing incoming damage.
Movement: Each creature can move up to a certain number of hexagons each turn.
Masteries can have an impact on the effectiveness of the creature's abilities and can also help reduce incoming damage and even protect the creature from harmfull effects.
