A couple of questions I have about the Ogre Battle series.

I'm playing Ogre Battle 64 on my Wii, and I was curious if you guys could answer a couple of questions I have about the series. Firstly, I was wondering if the games are connected in any way, and if it'll benefit me to play the games in chronological order. Secondly, I was wondering if there's actually a benefit to having a Doll Master and a Golem in the same party, or a Beast Tamer and a Beast, or a Dragon Tamer and a Dragon, etc.

1) No, they are not connected. YOu need not play black queen.
2) I think the 64's Dollmasters boost golems. I'm not positive though.
3) Delete this game and play MoTBQ, the far superior of the two.
