Whereas I was thinking about how the story is told. I feel the mechanics of the games restrict the possibilities and limit their appeal to Gloranthan enthusiasts.

All of which games have much better mechanics than the Gloranthan hex board games. I'll have to see if I can find a modern hex board game which is suitable for re-theming in this sort of way.
