Then back on the touchArcade forum post edit box, click on the image button (the grey mountain with yellow sky, like MS word) and paste the url...

    Favorite Unit? Very difficult question, since there are quite a handful of them! :D
    And choosing one over the other will be unfair.. but anyway.. I guess I'll go for the VERY VERY favorite then ;)

    THE PALADIN

    Though a Grand Knight might be better, but what i like about the Paladin is that he's more mobile... plus Paladins have more speed and power against the undead (the main enemy)


    @Kyle
    What will be the approx. file size of the Game App??

    My favorite is ...

    [​IMG]

    Elvish Sharpshooter:

    High damage at a distance, not to mention Elves are my favorite fantasy race. I have only played the first few battles, however even the lower levels of this unit (Archer, Marksman) are devastating.

    Munkie!

    My favorite is the Necromancer.

    Not only does he look awesome and have sweet spells, but when he kills something it comes back as an undead unit. :D

    The Mage of Light. I like it when healbots can dish out some damage too. =)

    The skeletal dragon. A very old dragon with no skin. Its menacing, powerful, and can drain life. What's not to love?

    Seriously - can't wait for this. I've been playing Wesnoth for several years now and always wanted to see a portable version made.

    Kyle - you're awesome for working through this. Porting isn't easy.

    Favorite Unit:

    Elvish Sharpshooter..... Why? Cause its an Elf and a Master Archer..... What more do u need..... Like really if you can shoot an arrow outta the air with one of you own, who actually has a chance of getting near you? Simply the perfect unit :)

    [​IMG]

    Cant wait for this.... love it on my mac... now ill be able to play it anywhere :)

    My favorite unit right now is the Silver Mage because of the teleport....but I'm a big fan of any type of spellcaster to be honest.

    200+ MB is no biggie for me. I dloaded Myst when it was nearly 800 MB (when it first came out). No shortage of MB's/GB's for pure awesomeness (that is BFW! :D)

    One more question (don't know if it has been asked or not):
    Will it be the "full" experience, or a bit cut down?
    As in.. will u be splitting it.. like Puzzle Quest Ep1.. then Ep2. Like "The Quest".. hope u get what i mean?

    From what I've read, it'll be the full PC version - that is, it'll be gigantic. Hundreds of campaign missions, online multiplayer, skirmish modes (with random map generator), AND a download system so that you can get user-made mods and scenarios.

    Nothing cut. Probably going to be among the biggest (in terms of content, not filesize) games released on the iphone, period. Possibly THE biggest.

    Yep that's right, only translations have been cut. And large fullscreen graphics and portraits have been pre-scaled down to iphone size. All the campaigns, units, sounds, and music are still in, that's why it's 200+ mb! :p

    I have always been a big fan of the ents...

    I'm so glad this game is coming to the iphone. I've been a huge fan for a *long* time. Instant buy for me.

    Yeah, another one of my favorites...

    Ancient Wose

    [​IMG]

    It hits like a ton of bricks... errr... ton of sticks... Once I just let it sit there, and watched as it killed a string of lvl 1 units while defending! High HP, plus it regenerates every turn.
