Celtic Tales - Balor of the Evil Eye is a game wich is, as it is called, inspired with one Celtic legend Balor of the Evil Eye. He was an enormously strong ruler of the underworld who led his Fomorianses (Fomors in the game), a tribe of giants, to terrorize the island of Eire. From that day, all Eire lived in fear and paid him in riches every year. There has to be one High Ruler who will unite entire Eire and lead people in battle against mighty Balor to defeat him once for all.
Whole gameplay is done with mouse. Game is turn-based, wich really means that every move is one month (13 months per year!). You give orders to your champions and they will spend next month according to your orders. Now, I mentioned "champions". Well, everything in land of Eire is going on with champions. They are the minions in your command. They do jobs in your provinces such as choping trees, improving farmland and such. Number of your Champions is equal to the number of workers, and is also number of your troops. Inhabitants of Eire are here of course, but they follow a champion in battle, and if that champion is defeated, they don't fight anymore. I guess this could give you a feeling of old times because in legends you hear about individual heros. Each champion has his own skills and character, and they act differently in different situations. Strength is probably most important, but it is like energy. Other skills can't improve, unless champion is carrying an item.
