recommed a fantasy wargame

[Lagi]

should have
- hex
- flying units
- no strategy/macro layout (producing own units, diplomacy)

f.ex.
Fantasy General 1, Fantasy General 2.

f.ex.2
star general would be ok (if not the theme), but not Emperor of Fading Suns.

--opinions?
fantasy wars

Warbanner is a skirmish game, but it could fit the bill (I am not sure about flyers, though. I don't think there is any).

As for Fantasy Wars/Elven Legacy, both are pretty solid remakes of FG1. I would recommend them.
You could also play Warhammer 40K: Rites of War: Basically FG: 40K.

I am not sure there are that many options actually.
I saw some fantasy mods for the operational Art of War.

Edit: Battle of Wesnoth obviously

You're really limiting yourself with the no strategic layer since even the FanGens include one (map where you can hire and upgrade units), but you can check Brigandine Legend of Runersia. I even wrote some stuff about it in the Codex thread. It has a strategic layer but also tactical turn based combat on a hex grid.

It does use square grid, but maybe Spellcross.

If Star General works, you can still play Battle Isle 3 or its remake, Battle Worlds Kronos (but BI3 is the better game).

warbanner is good (drums of war even better)

Brigandine - sorry I dont find Japanese aesthetics (1000x numbers, acrobatic attacks, splash effects, disco lights, overly sexualized women, ornamentation that hinder performance, everyone looking like teenagers at best ...) appeal to my taste.

fantasy wars on my list then

strategic layer in absolute minimum. F.ex. in total war (or HMM3) you make an unbeatable army from the start, and the battles are just formality 99% of the time.

I played Battle of Wesnoth quite a lot. With the mods that add custom factions (age less era?). campaigns were (are) very good in Wesnoth, plots are very enjoyable to follow. I put it on my list too.

Spellcross looks weird. Fantasy orcs vs modern armoured transporters?

oh i remember errors like this...

Zodiac legion looks interesting

i played Battle Isle 3, i remember moving all your units one by one become wearing after some time, unless i dont figure out something there. Maybe i check the remake, even if it look like candy crush.

You could've at least looked at it before spouting nonsense but whatever.
