Product Description
Majesty Gold contains both the full Majesty game, and the expansion pack, The Northern Expansion. Majesty is a unique sim putting you in the crushed velvet hotseat of your own kingdom. With an epic quest before you, you make the decisions of where to build your settlement`s guilds and temples. Each one has a mind of its own and must be enticed to meet your goals, via rewards you offer and spells you cast. Meanwhile you must make sure that your treasury stays flush with cash to support these and other outlays necessary to maintain a thriving medieval town. The fact that you are being barraged by attacks from mythical beasts and fantastic creatures doesn't make your job any easier.

48 of 49 people found the following review helpful Polished, Innovative, By This review is from: Majesty Gold (CD-ROM) Majesty entered a world where RTSes had been solidly institutionalized for over five years (the four Xes, eXplore, eXploit, eXpand and eXterminate) and put a genuinely new twist on things. In Majesty, you don't waste your time mining and directing minions to go hither and yon. You build your castle, your kingdom's amenities and, as you can afford themn, hero guilds. Each hero guild can support a certain number of heroes (usually 4), although you'll usually have to buy heroes. But fret not, because each hero will pay you back many times over by visiting your marketplaces, blacksmiths, inns, and son on. In addition, each guild generates a bit of money on its own, and some provide extra services which can generate revenue. Your tax collectors will walk from building to building collecting gold, ultimately returning it to your castle or nearby guard houses, while your heroes do whatever they do best. (Rangers explore, rogues steal, and so on.) The more you build, the more support...

It's very simplistic, you're not getting a lot of strategy play or shoot 'em up stuff (like in CIV III, Warcraft or Empire Earth), but at the same time it's highly addictive.Perhaps its simplicity is the key. That, and the delightful narrator who sounds suspiciously like Sean Connery. The premise is that you get an area map of the kingdom with all kinds of quests or challenges that you must complete -- from wiping out the monsters, to reclaiming your crown, seeking the holy chalice, to rescuing your son who's been kidnapped by evil elves. The beginner levels will get you into the game and understand how it works; it's fairly intuitive and a fast learn. The advanced levels offer some challenge; some more difficult than others, and will test your ability to logically figure out solutions. I've yet to get to the expert levels. While there is fighting in this game, once you build your "army" (consisting of...

The game itself is a blast - easy to learn, but not so easy to master. You can learn the strategies, and you can be successful, yet the game isn't so easy that you can simply "win" it in an hour. In otherwords, it's within almost everybody's capabilities. It won't leave you feeling stupid, and it's not a cakewalk either. One gripe - why is the Northern expansion seperate from the regular edition, when the Northern expansion INCLUDES the regular edition? If you start playing games in the regular edition, then go to the Norhtern expansion, you lose all the games you won beforehand. Wierd. Overall, very enjoyable. Get the gold edition. |
