Jonesy89: The one I watched was for the Zx Spectrum; I had assumed that the key functions would be largely unchanged, but I may be wrong.
Petrell: Considering the remake is for both windows and tablets, they must've changed or streamlined things that could not be easily accomplisheds with mouse or touch screen but I too would be interested hearing exactly what the differences are between the original and the remake. The DOS remake was rather cumbersome to play despite me enjoying most of the ~8 hours it took me to play it thru (failed destroying the ice crown so military victory was only choise left, destruction of ice crown can be accomplished within 10 minutes of play).
Gameplay is identical, or at least should be! :)
Additions are the removal of save game and replacing it with a continuing save with controlled undo. This is because just saving and loading would harm the game.
The discovery map because no one draws maps anymore.
Grouping, because controlling multiple characters doing the same thing in a turn based game becomes tedious.
Options for auto-seek and auto-fight
And UI changes of course.
PetrusOctavianus: You don't need to Search; it is done automatically when entering a location.
Jonesy89: Huh. Could have sworn that the LP I watched showed the guy using a "search" command in order to find stuff. If that's not the case, then I might look into this if it ever goes on sale.
You do need to search, but there is an auto search option. Beware though, because you don't necessarily want to find everything!
