If this is the ASL you're talking about, and I think it is...

Clix is a different beast entirely. There's far fewer units on the board. It's more of a game like War Hammer Fantasy Battle.

Here's a good image of what a miniature's game looks like.

I just menat that not only miniature games have problems with physically moving units on the map. ASL can be rather cluttered. I have played miniature games (mostly WH).

Nah, I'd still rather have Dominions Roguelike.

Off topic: If you'd just like something almost overly complex, you could try Dwarf Fortress.

Haaaa... I know what the next step should be. A dominions webcomic, with lots of black humor.. like Order of the Stick kind of humor, following different armies for certain amount of time and then going to next armys situation

Whats order of the stick? www.giantitp.com

Prepare to laugh yourself dead.

I know of it. Learned of it way back. The next release task list is down to four items at the moment... But the D:roguelike seemed promising. I don't even remember who started the project any more.


And incidentally, just today I answered someone's post about a dream game, a tbs fantasy game with magic and items and provinces and player persona that'd lead the race and could be able to become a spellcaster and have class levels, on the bay12games forum. He wished it'd be done some day, I linked to the demo of our favourite tbs game...


About OOtS - yes, that's good. Seraph Inn is good, and the artist actually had planned an end for it AND ended it as planned - almost a unique achievement as far as webcomics go. Goblins (life through their eyes) started awesome, grew, and became too slow and obese and gluttered. It can still deliver the awesome, though. Pawn is hilarious, but only updates once a year. I suggest instead checking out Fredrik Andersson's art on Elfwood, and Naorhy. Awesome Swedish artist, and one of the reasons I want to study visual arts. He tells such stories in single picture... Also, his works are refreshingly NSFW, so keep out if you're afraid of boobies.
Also Gunnerkrigg Court, it's a bit like playing Kailasa and realizing the castes are based on real castes, and that the island of Lanka is Sri Lanka, and then finding out that the Gurus reincarnate... You can't believe anyone would go that deep to just create some entertainment for people who don't really understand the depth. Alternatively, it's a bit like being quite drunk, and things that shouldn't work seeming oh-so-sensible.
