The Elements
One feature of HotT
is the elements. The large variety of different troops available, allow for the
creation of many different troop types. From traditional DBA/Ancients troop
types like Knights, Blades and Warband, to fantasy based such as Lurkers, (hiding
troops or creatures that ambush in difficult terrain), Sneakers, (think hobbits
trying to destroy a magic ring), and dragons. There are even characters such as
Magicians, Clerics and Paladins.
Perhaps my only
complaint is the generic nature of the characters. It would be nice if there
were more chrome with different types of magic users. One immediate change
would be to have a Necromancer who cannot cast the typical spell, but could
resurrect Hordes within 2 inches of the figure instead of on the board base or
stronghold.
