The 2004 Paradox game based in the middle ages on the ownership of land and the hierarchy of kingship. For those of you who've played many paradox games and liked this, then best skip past this review because my score is in no way complementary. For me, this game almost hit the mark and yet its bad points were too large to ignore and dragged it down alot. Besides, it probably didn't help that I hadn't really given a bad review since starting these and this was the only game I had at my current flat which I didn't need a disk for and fraps worked perfectly with. Just in case the review itself isn't too clear

Pros: *graphical style is quite nice (although most of the brides tend to look horrendously ugly) *music is quite good but samey and repetitive *System of hierarchy is fairly simple and easy to grasp *Claims system means countries don't usually just declare war on you for no reason (although with Egypt that didn't exactly hold true) *As always it doesn't need the disk to run and you can save anytime

Cons: *There appears to be no ranking system and ultimately it's unclear what "victory" looks like *Building works in provinces is both limited and expensive and, taking forever, leaves you twiddling your thumbs until another marriage is needed *Biggest gripe - if you try to expand and use your troops in other provinces, not only does your reputation go way down but they will eventually all rebel against you and even a new King cannot inspire loyalty as he has the same reputation!
