An amazingly in-depth Historical realtime strategy.

This game is phenominal,

The depth of this gam eisn't filler all you gotta learn fast is to keep your peasants undercontrol by enforcing an ironhand in tough times.

I usually don't do nothing to bad when rehabilitating peasants but when the crime went up 10 fold I sorta had to go from the stocks-the gallows/burning post. besides...peasants are replaceable.


Wow I sidetracked thats how fun punishing peasants is and watching them suffer while you grow fat from their labor...ahh yes the life of a kin...until battle comences and you find yourself knee deep in impossible odds.


In this gae it isn't oh just need the resources...you need for example to make spearmen.


Wood wich is turned into spears at a poleturners shop wich is the used to create spearmen.

with this game you actually need to craft the weapons and armor before those units can be made to do battle and die for king and country but you will find your amy dies alot faster when the castle walls defences are up.


the wall defences go from stone baskets to tip on your enemies to rolling logs that are set aflame and take out a area to burning oils and moats.

Overall this game has won my heart because of it's realistic play wich makes me ohso happy to play a historically accurate game.

Overall full of fun(if you like a moderate learning curve)
