For those of you who haven't tried this game (or gotten into it - it can be somewhat daunting at first since the documentation in the manual is possibly the worst ever put our with a console game) for the Sega CD is pretty amazing if you like strategy rpgs. The first play through is always dicey - but it gets a lot more fun on subsequent play throughs since the game is pretty complex in a lot of its aspects. The other big drawback is that the AI is generally dumber than a box of rocks - but that is true of most console strategy game.
On the plus side it has huge armies - a maximum of 40 and of those you have 37 that you can pick what you want in your army - a wide varitey of hired characters of four basic types with four different races - deployed over huge battlefields. And a bunch of summoned creatures (different for each of the four different rulers. Plus hex grid maps and zones of control -it doesn't get much better than that.
For those of you who have played it - who is your favorite ruler? I prefer Krystal - her dragon rider is the only one that flies and her wyverns are the only summoned creatures that stay useful until the end of the game. (Wyverns are just plain nasty in this game - I know they
gave me fits when I ran into enemy ones the first time - until I figured out how to deal with them.
