This was an awesome game, it's probably pretty clunky by today's standards but damn it was fun back then, and still kind of is today.

Hey everyone, this is the sequel of Battlegrounds and I'm very proud of it. I made it more RTS-ish, added lots of new units, buildings, scrolling maps and such. There is also room for new features so if there is something you'd like to see in an update, you can tell me in a review.
As you play, more buildings will be avaible for you to build. You will also be able to build more houses in later missions.
The game is pretty graphic intensive so I recommend setting the quality to Medium or Low.
Enjoy :)
Eh, it's alright. The controls are a bit convoluted, and I have no idea why buildings so often take precedence over actual enemies, your men choosing to attack non-hostile buildings over the things currently killing them, but whatever.
It's also strange that the infantry DOESN'T block enemies from advancing to attack the ranged units, as you would expect they ought to.
It's also strange that you have no control over what units you bring WITH you to non-resourced missions. It forces you into a corner where, instead of strategizing, you have to win how the creator intended.
Despite all this, it was fun. So there's that.
Wtf? I can't build anything!
When is Battlegrounds 3 coming out!
fun but sometimes units attack a building instead of the orcs in front of the building so they die. especially frustrating in no building levels
