Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim for PC and X360 is a long-awaited sequel to an innovative strategy game created by Cyberlore Studios in 2000. However, Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim was developed by a completely different team – a Russian studio Ino-Co (subordinate to the 1C company), which is popular mainly for Fantasy Wars – a very well rated game whose formula is similar to the legendary Heroes of Might & Magic series.

Plot

The player is taken to a magical world filled with castles, dragons, knights, skeletons and other creatures known from fantasy stories. The player takes on the role of the main leader of Ardania, and their goals are to ensure the kingdom's development and safety of its subjects. As a result, the player has to build up the infrastructure, gather resources, recruit characters and fighters, as well as defend the country against dangerous creatures – those are only waiting for the player's mistake and looking forward for an opportunity to attack the player's territories. The player has brave and loyal heroes under their command, though sometimes they are hardly bearable, as they have free will and act in accordance with their own moral codes. Contrary to ordinary strategy games, the player does not have direct influence on their actions – one only sets their objectives and prizes for completing them, and afterwards the subordinates execute the orders on their own. One needs to remember though, that the characters' priorities sometimes differ to those of the player – the characters have their own plans and viewpoints on what is better for the kingdom and which task should be completed first.
