Kingmaker description
Historical turn based strategy game based on the Board game, if you will – "a very simplified wargame", dedicated to the most interesting period of English history, for some reason, almost not lit in video games.

This time fate brought us to the era of the civil war in England known as "the War of the Roses". This era is known to us from childhood books and films, but now have the opportunity to enjoy her "flavor" and maybe to re-change history.

We can choose to play any of the dynasties of Lancaster or York. Our goal is to make our dynasty began to rule England. To achieve this, it needs the support of an increasing number of local rulers, statesmen and others. It is therefore necessary, first, to persuade the right persons to our side, and secondly- to advance to certain positions supporting our "party" of people and in any way possible to eliminate those who support opponents.

Fighting in the game is, however, nothing of itself is not historical and it's truly epic battles in the war never was. In addition, almost any goal can be achieved by diplomatic means, but this will have to work head.
The Game Menu
"Poor" graphical component can not be called (and given the characteristics of the subgenre – even more) – which is only the image locks on the global map! And the very map of England worse than in the world Atlas. Play with the graphics a pleasure.
However, I would not say that playing in General is also "a pleasure". Kingmaker – the game is objectively a VERY hard and massive, and not only (although it is, of course, in the first place) because I fall a lot and think outside the box, but due to a number of features of the interface, so a careful reading of the manual before the game is recommended, if possible. But for fans of really complex diplomatic strategies this game will be a great gift – probably for the complexity of its in its category is not exceeded no other.
