Customer Reviews of Armies of Exigo
Pretty Well Done If you have played Warcraft, Lords of Everquest, or War of the Ring, then this game is along the same lines. A RTS game that involves resource collection and leveling up tech trees to go out and complete differant missions connected in a pretty interesting storyline. I was actually having some problems getting by certain levels on normal difficulty. I found that there were no cheat codes to be found for this game. Luckily it does allow you to adjust the difficulty. What makes this game unique from the others I have listed is the ability to take the action underground. That in itself makes it worth buying. Otherwise, it is pretty much like the others.
Underrated but well worth the purchase
Familiar with Starcraft or Warcraft? Then this game should come easily to you. It is often billed as a "ripoff" of Warcraft3, but the primary similarity there is that they both have orcs and humans, although the orcs are really just a part of the beasts side. In reality though the game is more similar to Starcraft than Warcraft3, which contained a large number of fundamental changes to the game since its predecessors while Armies of Exigo still stays true to the general mechanics behind Starcraft.

<
>Armies of Exigo is more than just a fantasy based Starcraft however, it contains many improvements of its own while not to the degree Warcraft3 did which made some huge mechanic altering changes. Here's a list of some of the major changes:
<
>
<
>-Subterranean Map: Most boards have 2 layers/maps, the above ground portion and below ground portion which gives each map a more 3-dimensional feel.
<
>
<
>-Garrisons: A unit can be garrisoned in most structures to protect them and many neutral structures can be garrisoned which often supplies with certain special abilities or bonuses.
<
>
<
>-Formations: Troops will setup in formation, archers usually behind and warriors up front to keep your weak support units from foolishly standing on the front lines.
<
>
<
>-Supergroups: A very helpful feature, this allows you to not only setup groups of units like in SC/WC but you can also create groups of these groups to allow you to move your entire force much more efficiently.
<
>
<
>-Unit Strengths/Weaknesses: Many units have specific types of enemy units they are strong or weak against, such as pikemen being almost necessary to kill off ogres while a single ogre can butcher a regiment of swordsmen.
<
>
<
>-Hostile neutral units: Starcraft always had neutral units that were just sort of ... there. But Armies of Exigo has neutral units that are hostile that can add another level of difficulty to already difficult missions.

<
>This game has great sound and the graphics are quite good, adopting a more realistic appearance than the cartoonish appearance of the Warcraft line. The cinematics are very well done, some of the cutscenes that just use character models seem rushed and the voice acting in them isn't always the greatest, especially the parts in the council chamber. The unit responses in gameplay and the ambient sounds though fit well and don't detract from the game, some of the cutscenes just seem like they were rushed and were more of an afterthought.

<
>The multiplayer is great, but as another player stated it can be difficult to find people to play against as this game is unfortunately virtually unknown. The mission difficulty is quite high and can be frustrating to those not accustomed to RTS games. On easy mode this game likely matches Starcraft and Warcraft3's difficult on normal and the average mission length is a good deal longer.

<
>This is a greatly underrated game that deserves far more credit than it receives. It gets alot of bad reviews from players that claim it to be a Warcraft clone, and while it does obviously take alot of inspiration from Starcraft, the reality is Armies of Exigo is the game that Warcraft3 should have been. I have no doubt in my mind that if Blizzard had released this game exactly as it is as Warcraft3 it would have been just as popular as WC3 is now or more.
Who did this crummy multi-player!!!
This game is fun... But the multiplayer is terrible! It took me almost an hour to get though there crummy 'registration' thing just so I could get online and play... That is if there was anyone to play. There never seems to be anyone online... LAME!
