War Wind

Strategic Simulations Inc.. DreamForge. Have you ever heard these names? The smelter was opened to dream STR in 1996 and struck a blow molding a unique world, almost frightening. The drums of war sounded, accompanying the piece under not quite trivial: War Wind.Seek not Orcs, Elves or Humans in this fantasy world.  Starcraft as will two years later, War Wind sweeps the mythological images to impose its own culture. On the quiet Yavaun the Tha'Roon reptilians have established a dictatorship, violent, degrading plant Eaggra architects through dolls Obblinox cyborgs. In nature, the mystical Shama'Li dance with the shadows, awaiting the return of God Naga'Rom ... But Eaggra rebel, the disgraced Obblinox obey more, and the Great War broke out.

Play War Wind begins with a total immersion in this dark atmosphere, cold and melancholy. It is unthinkable to miss a single kinematic not read the ideologies of each of the four races, and even less to shorten the mission reports pompously written for our pleasure. All gasoline War Wind is exposed there, under our eyes. Well, almost ... For War Wind is a strategy game, is not it? And its gameplay is it to live up to its claims? The answer is yes, of course.You are a leader, a chieftain, and you must survive in a decidedly hostile nature. Tasks entrusted to you depends on the elevation of your race.  Die, and the game is over.  To accomplish your goals, you have under you a handful of workers recruited to the tavern. They will collect the necessary resources to establish a city, and will practice the magic or combat. Use your influence to bring the heroes to your cause, or search for new spells, new weapons and upgrades that will make your biological armed force-fed a pack of creatures tonics. Allow the lens implants to scouts and upload your Warriors of adrenaline: the enemy can do nothing against opponents he does not see, or whose injuries locked by themselves. If there is land beyond the mountains or rivers, build ships, trucks and bridges, or run it under a hail of explosive drones. Nothing should stop you.If these steps are the same for all races, it should still be noted that each has its own talents. This is indeed the strength of the track: we will not play the same way with Tha'Roon psychic or Obblinox war machines, much less with Shama'Li Eaggra pacifists and the sap-filled vengeance. It will combine the strengths and weaknesses of the people that are embodied in the win. Fortunately, the four campaigns quickly familiarize us with the faculties of each of them through long missions and sought after.Ah, the campaign for War Wind ... Far from us to serve a linear succession of epics through Yavaun, DreamForge offers us to change our clan gradually progresses. Total success! Between each mission, it is possible to preserve some of our units for reuse in the following scenarios. Since all technologies are not immediately available, it can gradually form an elite guard, which we can even rename the members. Even better, the troops will collect a variety of items such as explosive bullets, which will prove indispensable in the last days of the campaign, when the changes will not suffice. Punctuated by short briefings and prophetic, the campaign reflects a world extremely rich, ravaged, and especially terribly aesthetic.
