    Not a fan of the icon, either. Rather off-putting. But! Tis just my opinion. I'll just bury the icon in a folder somewhere. >_<

    Agreed, any other character would be a better icon.

    Been loving the game and the "kinda new" style of play (instead of the characters the kinda runes that move.... loved the idea)

    But the icon is very mehhhhhhh would love to see it being changed :D

    While not to game related id agree that the icon kinda sucks at the min. Different character would be better.

    +1 For icon change! I think the ninja, tree, viking, or bear would all be pretty epic looking!

    Also, the link to their website is http://www.retro64.com/ if you guys were wondering.

    We may address the icon soon.

    I just read the official TA review- how do you guys feel about being to go back and grind for gold? It was a conscious decision to make it that way. Tough to walk the casual/hardcore TBS line!

    To be honest, gold never played a big part in my time through the game. I didn't have to go back once to get more to beat a level, if I didn't have enough gold I would deal with the amount of heroes I had and beat the level. Of course, I was doing this on the default normal difficulty, maybe I should try hard difficulty.

    In a game like this, I think you need some way for players who get "stuck" to extricate themselves, at least at normal difficulty.

    Also, it means you can try different things, and not just max out a couple of characters and use them over and over.

    But it would be nice to have a harder difficulty where you have to manage your economy. Or else you could have a harder difficulty level where gold is ignored, you get all of the characters you want and upgrades are free, and the problem is just to beat the levels. That might work.

    Just voted for RR, pushing it to the top now. :D

    Grinding for gold is so last decade's RPG.... I too didn't have to engage in the inane repetitive repertoire of accumulating gold.


    Just wondering, what NEW characters would you guys like to see?

    Me -- Mermaid/Siren (sea map), Banshee, Basilisk, Retiarius (gladiator with trident + net)...

    To be honest I think there were more than enough characters to suit me, I can't think of any more characters I'd want.

    I am leaning towards a unicorn on the hero side of things. More bad guys and levels are more important, though.

    Oh and thanks for the vote, iZombie! :)

    The crow, but all three are pretty cool looking.

    Yeah, this one, as it combines a character from the game showing the element of surprise/battle. I didn't find the original icon that bad, given that it appeared to show a determined woman holding a potion, giving me the impression of "ready for battle", but I do like the crow-partially hidden bottle one even better.
