Realms description

Game fantasy - the orcs, humans, elves. The essence of the game, like any strategy, the acquisition of territory. In particular cities. They need to besiege. And if the besieging army is small, the city usually just shrugs payment of tribute. If it is specifically besieged - he will agree to go on the side of playing (which, however, does not prevent him to strike back - go back to the enemy in case of absence of the army nearby), or it can flatten - out a lot of money (in fact, the city is looted), but to take under his wing it will be available.

In every city you can: buy grain (food), to take taxes, to recruit the army, to build a stone wall (to strengthen), to increase the territory, to build up, etc. And if some actions increase the quality of life and well-being of citizens (buying food, building stone walls to protect the city, increasing the area, etc.), other actions - on the contrary, set up residents against the player (exorbitant taxes (they can take several times as long as the money doesn't run out), constant recruitment, absence of provisions, etc.).

With the army, things are tough, too: typed in starving and strangled constant exactions the city the army would rather flee from a battle field (even with overwhelming superiority over the enemy) than win - not save even a high paying with the most expensive equipment.

Battles, too, is very amusing: first army of the player long headway with the army computer - if the opponent ran away, and decided to accept battle, the game switches to battle mode where the player directly controls his army and gives commands: to regroup, to carry out "barrage" archers (in the presence of archers) and of course to fight.

Of course, someone game may seem primitive, but fans strategies to see it still stands.
