The Beginner level is easy to master, and in it, you’ll quickly vanquish your foes.
Majesty offers a novel gaming universe with various levels of difficulty. Keeping everything in balance can get tricky, but mastering it will make your kingdom prosper. Plus, if you don’t have enough gold on hand to keep your heroes well-paid, they could very well decide to join the other side. Not only do you face the usual problems of tight budgets and surly subjects, but you’ll also discover enemies against whom you must defend your kingdom. If you get the combination of heroes and infrastructure right, your kingdom will grow, enticing peasants to move to your neck of the woods from neighboring kingdoms. Your challenge is to build up your kingdom around the castle, including heroes to defend it, blacksmith shops to outfit it, and markets to supply it. You start off with an ordinary castle in the land of Ardania.
The object of the game is nothing less than the construction of a successful kingdom and its defense against a variety of enemies. What happens when you take the sword-and-sorcery aspects of such role-playing standards as Dungeons & Dragons and combine them with the resource allocation and management of simulation games like Sim City? Add on an Internet-based multiplayer mode, and you’ve got Majesty, a strong addition to the simulation-game genre.
