Ogre Battle Masters

This idea started when I thought it would be cool to make a game that was kind of like a fantasy/historical version of Eclipse: Second Dawn. The idea of having different kinds of troops you could outfit with equipment you researched sounded fun. And I really like the way Eclipse scratches the 4X itch and manages to keep it's scale small enough to play fairly quickly.

That's not where the game that I designed ended up though. This was one time when I woke up in the middle of the night and my brain had found the solution. Essentially it ended up kind of like Ogre Battle on a hex grid.
