Ok on to the game. I like it...but once you get to a certain point, it becomes impossible. Anyone have any idea what your supposed to do? did I miss something or are you supposed to be able to power through endless mobs?

That was one of the coolest movies though since dawn of war.

Indeed I love this beta also. IT contains only a small part of the game, hence there will be many races/spells etc. etc. but I love the idea of mass troops. I am just wondering, this is scripted that the AI is sending the mass troops or it is just recruiting them and sending them to attack in groups?

I found a building that is responsible for the undead masses. It spits them out pretty fast then they move in a group once they reach a certain number. I haven't found a source for the orcish units that seem to travel in similar numbers.

wow this game gonna be fantastic. The AI sent like 500 undeads at me in the same time, my army was wasted. Also imagine the multiplayer...I just cant wait for this game really. So far I've found 1 bug so far. My own unit's pathfindig is bad. This is weird. The pathfinding of the enemy troops are excellent.
I also love as the units are reacting. The missile troops are trying to avoid to go to melee and if you place them in a group, and a melee group is charging into them, they move away and spread across the area.

Oh btw NTJedi and OG, Ive seen that you are already registered on the official HoAE forum.

Yeah I normally register at any forum for a game I'm interested in.

Are you supposed to build units?

Yes the game looks good !

Hopefully the developers post and browse their forum once in awhile. I've seen the Bioware and Oblivion developers for NeverWinterNights2 are posting and browsing the forums almost every day.

Of course, I built the base using those pixies, and made a small force just to explore a bit. Then at mid map I killed a small group of enemy skeletons. 2 mins later, while I was messing around my base, Ive seen a warning that my units are under attack. I scrolled there, and I was like OMG....like 500 undeads were killing my troops there.

Jedi, I also hope that the devs gonna read the feedback etc...btw afaik the game will be shipped with an editor, but Im not sure that how powerful it will be. Probably the usual map/scenario/campaign[hopefully] editor.

Those are my favorite forums. Its why Ive always loved Shrapnel

Yes the Illwinter developers are also good with posting on the forum... considering how many of them exist in the company... they do great work!

They probably are still that active. I just figure its the beta-tester group that is keeping them dancing lately
