What is Invasion of Meridell?

It was a game hosted on Neopets up to 3-4 years ago, when it was discontinued. Here is some footage of what the game looked like.
The goal of the game is to defend the kingdom, while training your soldiers in the process, rescuing the invaders. It was a very simple strategy game.

Out of nostalgia, I decided to recreate the game.

Some screen shots of the remake (an older build) are in the spoilers.

I'm leaving this out here so that anyone who remembered playing this game and suffered a sudden attack of nostalgia (like me) can assuage the gnawing pain. I'm also trying to find any bugs that may be in the current version before adding further to it (new mechanics, unit types, missions, etc).

Hah, I remember this one. There was another one with more more adventure/rpg mechanics too that I can remember vaguely. Best of luck!

[~Neri]

I remember the adventure/rpg mechanics one better then I remember this, however I do remember this.

I can't remember this game. Was it escape from meridell?

[hawkwing]

Hmm, no, that doesn't look like it. It was a 2d top down grid based game. Beyond that my memory is fuzzy. I think it had more pokemon-esque turn based battle mechanics. I remember a cave. I think there were hills and mountain tiles and you couldn't travel across the mountains. That's all that comes to mind.

Is the game still available on the neopets website? Maybe it's listed there somewhere.

PTW'ing this!
...Nostalgia hit me hard as I remembered this was a favorite game I played back in the Neopets days. T_T
...
Tinged with partial regret because I finally earned 100k neopoints and then net died and I got off the game for months. >_> <.<
Uh. Anyway.
Well wishes with all this! :3

Now this is a blast from the past. I couldn't stop playing the original when it came out. Thanks for the chance to play it again!

@hawkwing I think you're remembering Neoquest.

I just noticed the 'You can play this again ' link in the OP, just now ._.;

Thanks for poking this!

I made an account just to say that this is amazing!
I've been waiting years for this game to be re-released, thanks a lot

Is it exactly the same as the original?

[Reelya]

I think maybe if the gameplay itself is good, you could go all out and update the graphics to either be isometric or like Advance Wars. The original game isn't exactly pretty.
