Yes it will work like KotC 1. I think that's okay if rangers use a spear for the AC bonus vs charging.
If they have a high Dex they may be better off with a weapon that works with Weapon Finesse instead.
They need a melee weapon for the AOOs and when they can't take a five-foot step away from enemies.

Hi all,

I've uploaded final screenshots for Battle of the Sands: http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/BOTS/BOTS_Screenshots.htm

Also updated the introduction page for Battle of the Sands: http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/BOTS/BOTS_Introduction.htm

Is anyone interested in playtesting that game? I only need one or two dedicated RTS players.

I've also posted an update about Knights of the Chalice 2 for people who have bought KotC:

Mr. Roman Hodek, the artist, is redrawing all of the character-class illustrations and KotC buyers will get to see them before anyone else. This time I've uploaded the illustration for the Barbarian class.

I can playtest your rts if you'd like, I am in diamond leauge in starcraft 2 right now so I do ok at these types of games and can give you some feedback if a lot of time isn't a requirement (as I only have time to do about eight hours of gaming a week). Really curious about your A.I.

Thanks DonaldDuck! I would like that. A lot of time is not a requirement.
At the moment, I'm adding a small tutorial campaign, because I've been told the game is too difficult.
I'll send you an email soon.

Great, looking forward to it. I have yet to encounter an AI in rts that doesn't cheat and is challenging at the same time.

Hi, I've just made Battle of the Sands available for purchase.

Please try the free demo and buy from this link: http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/BOTS/BOTS_Download.htm

I'll have to spend some time contacting game websites.

My remaining projects are a Linux and Mac version of BotS, a book on libertarian economics, and KotC 2.

You will of course help the development of KotC 2 if you do buy BotS

Comments about BotS can be posted on there: http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/Forums/viewforum.php?f=7

Enjoy!

You're very good at promotion, BlueS; this line made me buy Battle for the Sands instantly without even trying out the demo...

I second this, just bought cause KotC 2 is the game i am expecting more along The Age Of Decadence!

Thank you very much for your support!

If someone could write a review of BotS or record a small video that would be awesome too

There will be an update about KotC 2 soon. That project already uses a lot of code from BotS.

Here is an update about Knights of the Chalice 2 for people who have bought KotC:
