Most interesting, how'd this get under the radar.

One last question, do my units level up or gain EXP(Final fantasy tactics/disgaea style), or are they just fixed strength(like Advance Wars). They don't have eqipment , you just buy em and attack right?

Ok one more last question, have there been any clear imbalances or broken units or races found and if there are would they get fixed? I mean stuff like(in advance wars DS) colin's double gold rush +200% Power of Money charge, or Grit's artillery superiority.

I seem to recall a valentines day event last year, got the thunderpack, IT2, and Starfury then at 20% off or something like that... I think I'll hold out, play the demo, till then see if something comes up.

My main PC has been dead since late november or i'd likely have got it sooner, been out of touch with the shrapnel community for awhile. I read about this in PC gamer while standing in a walmart, once I get home I borrow my ma's PC to do some research. I'm getting the demo as I type, but 66 MB over 56k is taking awhile.

EDIT: one more thing, a sugestion for the guide. So far it's been very informative but a little more detail on the units would be nice, like their exact stats, cost, HP defence ans skills. I know if I had the game i'd know what they were anyway but for reference and quick comparison it's be cool.

Hi there.

Units do not gain experience, and are not persistant from battle to battle. (So it's more like Advance Wars than FFT in that regard.) Units don't have equipment per se, although many of the action abilities use the name of weapons to explain the nature of the attack.

I know of no balance issues right now, and if I did, we would certainly fix them in a patch!

I don't think there are true imbalances. I know I've been unable to win multiplayer games so far with the Undead, and I also don't like it when I get the Afflicted as "Random" race, but it's only natural that each player should have his favorite races.

I'd say it's not Race Vs. Race where you might face imbalance, but rather you may find certain maps favour certain races, but the scoring system takes into account whether you picked your race or went random, and the same for the map.

But I'm not exactly a pro, so who knows?

Oh man the Undead are the best race

I have to admit, I do like playing the Undead. Afflicted are powerful (well, I get that feeling) but I'm damned if I can use them

Problem is, I like to be on the offense, and with most of their units so slow, it seems that they are better when on the defense (or counterattack, when they can send all those former attackers back).

My personal favs are human, gnome, dwarves, and sometimes afflicted. But I seem to be mainly lucky with afflicted.
