Re: XCONQ battle editing
What if you could run the game on a strategic level for most of the
game, but when two armies meet, a new map would pop up that would show a
close-up of the battlefield and the armies, from which point they could
fight it out on a division level? That's sort of like what happens in
"Heroes of Might and Magic".
