BattleMaster - A wonderful online game. It's a
combination strategy and role-playing game. It's also designed
to be light-weight, so that players who only spend 30 minutes
or an hour a day can do well. (With the exception of people
in leadership positions, there is no reason or advantage in
an average player spending hours a day on it. You log in,
read your msgs, enter your orders for that turn, and log off.
There are two turns a day, and it's best if you can enter orders
once during each of them - but that doesn't take long, each
turn is 12 hours long, and it doesn't matter whether you enter
your orders early, midway, or late in the turn.) I've been
having a wonderful time there.
