For every mission, you can either take your four heroes along and concentrate resources on buffing them to maxibuff, or your can replace them with Honor Guard that cleave closer to the units found in multiplayer, plus increase the population capacity so you can field more general units. Also, mission rewards offer a choice between unlocking new units or unit upgrades, or simply indulging yourself in a colossal piece of loot for one of the heroes. It is entirely possible to play the campaign with just your four uber-characters and pretty much ignore building anything. I would argue that’s a less satisfying way of playing it than the middleground of a couple of heroes and a small retinue, but what’s important is it’s no longer stuck in an awkward halfway house between RTS and RPG. It lets you pick which one you want to play, which makes the old formula make so much more sense. "
Excellent! So you can actually play the game as somewhat like and RTS in single player Mode!!!!!
Excellent! I will actually buy this then if I see it go on sale anywhere.
