    Yahoo's Games Domain has posted a nice preview of Dragonshard, Liquid Entertainment's Dungeons & Dragons real time strategy game set in the Eberron world, along with a collection of interesting screenshots. Here is an excerpt:

    Real-time strategy with a Dungeons & Dragons spin? Gelatinous cubes swallowing whole soldiers in one sudden, gloppy distension? Nasty Beholders giving the evil eye (literally) to entire adventurer parties? If any of this gets your polyhedral die rolling, you'll be happy to hear about Atari's forthcoming Dragonshard -- it's looking like one of the most promising things to happen to video game translations of the D&D world.

    Set in the world of Eberron (home to many a Forgotten Realms miniatures campaign), Dragonshard will offer three playable factions: the magic-oriented Dark Elf/underground creature alliance, a technology-oriented human/elf/dwarf collective, and an all-new lizard folk race. These scaly guys employ bizarre "siege creatures" consisting of huge battle turtles, war drakes, Pteradon "bombers" and, naturally, dragons. Each faction has basic soldiers, captains, and the obligatory high-fantasy hero leaders (from a selection of four distinct heroes for each side). While only one hero can lead a mission at any given time, each one of them can be individually equipped with newer, better weapons or items as missions are completed.

    Read the whole thing at Yahoo.
