5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for the best of the General Series
Containing an excellent tutorial of the early missions, this guide takes the novice gently through to the truly tough later missions. Although maps and step-by-step walkthroughs are not provided for the later continents the book tells you what to expect. Treasure tables are *REALLY* nice and the places to find heroes are very useful as well. Excellent guide, a must-have...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad if you've never seen a good game guide.
This was the third game strategy book I got (after Master of Magic and Master of Orion II). I was seriously disappointed. In other Prima books there is a wealth of material about how the game resolves conflicts/battles, conducts it's turn, etc. Tables of data and statistics, which while sometimes dry, were often useful and insightful.

This review is from: Fantasy General: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)
This was the third game strategy book I got (after Master of Magic and Master of Orion II). I was seriously disappointed. In other Prima books there is a wealth of material about how the game resolves conflicts/battles, conducts it's turn, etc. Tables of data and statistics, which while sometimes dry, were often useful and insightful. In this one there was a "walk-through" (and a few tables) with little material about what was happening behind the scenes and what strategies there were to deal with it. It was almost like an Adventure or RPG guide rather than a strategy guide. Very disappointing especially given some of the other (very good) work Terry Coleman has done.
