Are you ready to conquer the medieval world and become the ultimate ruler? Respect of the Realm is a single player historic strategy game that will put your skills to the test. Manage your barons, collect taxes, equip your armies, negotiate alliances, and build your empire as you face off against some of the greatest conflicts from medieval history. With unique AI personalities and challenges for each faction, this feudal simulation is surprisingly sophisticated.
In this game, balanced leadership is key. Your goal is to stay one step ahead of your enemies by managing your knights, upgrading your weapons, and competing for strategic territories. Use spies to track down your rivals' supply wagons, infiltrate enemy defenses, and send your toughest knights on raids. But be careful - RESPECT is everything and disloyalty is your greatest enemy. Keep an eye on your own men and respond to any issues that may arise. Settle disputes, quell rebellions, promote your barons, and make strategic decisions to secure your power.
Don't be fooled by the retro style - Respect of the Realm is a challenging simulation of power in the dark ages. Honor, deceit, risks, and rewards are all part of the game. With three difficulty settings, two game modes, and advanced AI, there is a range of challenges for both beginners and strategy veterans. Playable maps include Northern France during the 100 years war and the Crusades, with future planned releases featuring the Mongol invasion of Kiev and the Genpei war in Japan.
For fans of Respect Money Power, this game offers enhanced game tuning and exciting new additions such as fortifications, infiltrators, more weapons and armor, truces, duels, and a wisdom stat. The 'easy' setting has been made easier, while the 'hard' setting is even more challenging. The end-game is faster and there is the option to turn off tutorials. With more advice events, recruitment options, and modified Respect, Piety, and Valor systems, this game takes the original to the next level. Are you ready to rise to the top and claim your place in medieval history?
