This is a strategic role-playing game based on TSR's Birthright world of Anuire. It combines first person dungeon and castle quests, tactical real-time graphical battles, and complex economic and diplomatic strategy. Play against challenging computer opponents or other cunning human players. Players take on the role of ruler, regent of a nation in the Land of Anuire on the continent of Cerilia. The objective of the game is to gather power and influence while the other regents try the same. You can use options such as warfare, diplomacy, magic, manipulation of holdings such as guilds and temples, the establishment of trade routes, etc. Actions are in a turn based fashion on the world map, with the exception of adventuring, which is done in real time 3D. The adventure game engine was a Doom II engine clone: a 2D/3D engine which has essentially a flat layout map. The innovations at the time were the use of three resolutions of avatars which were hot swapped in depending on the distance from the viewer and the amount of memory on the hardware. Also there were flying wyverns and spiders which crawled on the ceilings as well as the floors. | ||
