The original Heroes of Might and Magic was a nice game, but when they came out with new versions they had to keep adding more stuff, and it's not clear at all that this was actually an improvement.

It's nice to see a game with a simple philosophy behind it, and I went and put my order in for it, but it's not clear that this type of game will catch on because it's not glitzy enough for the average person who has been spoiled by massive graphical and musical extravaganzas.

I took a look at Battle for Wesnoth and it is a pretty different game than Land of Legends. First of all, LOL uses squares and BfW uses hexagons. Using hexagons adds a layer of tactics. The pacing of the two games is different. LoL has a very quick pacing, BfW is slower (Dominions being the slowest by far). LoL is closer to a puzzle type game, BfW is closer to a traditional board game like Divine Right.
