I've been playing this for 10+ years :) it's one awesome game and the details for sprites and art direction is sweet.

In high school I kept a USB drive full of portable apps. This was one of them. I can still recommend it.

Not at all. That would be a game called 0ad.

think more hexbased, turnbased, terrain and dice roll mechanics with unit upgrades being extremely important.

More like Heroes of Might and Magic. It's a turn-based strategy game where battles take place on a hex grid map. It's got full campaigns, lots of factions and units, resources to gather... it's one of my favorite OSS projects. Wesnoth has been in active development forever and is a real labor of love, as well as a showcase of collaborative game development.

Not really. This game uses a turn-based combat system with a hex grid. It's more like Sid Meier's Civilization, but with a drastically simplified economy and a strong focus on battles. It also has a Tolkein-esque fantasy theme instead of a real-life history theme.

If that sounds at all interesting, I suggest giving it a shot.

So it's like HMM but the whole map is in battle mode?

What would need to happen that more players are available for online games?

Never heard of this game. Is it similar to Warcraft III?

It's turn based, the most similar game I've played is probably Fantasy General. Closer to Advance Wars or Fire Emblem than Warcraft.

No. Warcraft 3 ist real time strategy, Wesnoth is turn based strategy.

No. This is turn based, it doesn't play like any RTS game.

I love this game. It is also fairly easy to tinker with the units if you are like me, that is a big win.

only missing point about this game is some of the real word parameters like moral,flanking etc. Maybe a real history mod would be amazing like ancient era or medieval ages.

Modern strategy games for leisure can be traced back to actual militaries or hardcore history buffs—systems that would try to model morale etc., often to a degree which, er, doesn't have mass-market appeal. :p
