I just got Dragonshard as an early Xmas present, and I have to say, it looks really nice. The game is, of course, built more around a Warcraft like stat-base, but the game does have an extreme D&D feel. The concepts, though Eberron, are still very well realized, and the monsters/bad guys are more core villians than any Eberron-specific baddies. Overall, the game is pretty kickin' so far - so if you like RTS games, you should check it out!

Still rockin' the Fey'ri style.

Ok, well, another good thing is they picked up that feature from Warcraft III with gathering items. And the best part is all the items are mostly core D&D - scroll of lightning bolt, potion of cure light wounds. Now, one of the resources is Dragonshards (which is definitely Eb-specific), but still pretty cool (like the resources of WCIII or C&C, per se).

The game is a good RTS, with a very good D&D feel.

That's good to hear. I've been waiting to pick up my copy here...

Let's try and keep this section dedicated to FR CRPGs though .

I too have been checking this one out, but waiting for some more reviews. I always fear spending $50 on a game and it end up a flop. Thanks for the info

Okay...

Before we get too far, I think it might be best that I just seal this scroll and file it away .
