Lords of Everquest has several classic real-time stratgey elements, but with a few welcomed twists. First of all, instead of just commanding your army as if every unit were exactly the same, all of your units have the ability to level up and collect items during the game, which adds a welcome touch of role-playing to the stabdard RTS formula. Instead of just carting fresh units into a battle without thinking about it, you may find that your enemy’s group, having fought four or five battles already, will chew you up and spit you out if you send in your petty level one troops.
