although I don't get why you need a different cursor for blocked. what's wrong with the red horse or the one standing on its hind legs?

I agree.

It is true that we don't want to make the mistake of rise of legends, which went so crazy with the culture diversity thing that when put together it just seemed weird and not weird in a good way

I definitely agree that subtledy is much better than overt "this is obviously an asian race" town... For instance, I think it's good that Academy isn't SO blatantly Middle Eastern, as it has elements of lots of different non-Middle Eastern things as well. (But as ppl pointed out, the only ...

Didn't find any threads about it; wasn't sure if I was the only one who thought so, or whether it was so universally accepted that it didn't need mentioning. Even when you aren't the undead, i find it ridi...

Interesting... Well I'm not sure I was *supposed* to do this, b/c this was before I realized that I was supposed to take the underground path, but I combined the armies and killed a hefty blue army BEFORE I went underground. THEN I split the armies and had hero and gf split up and rejoin together at...
