Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Two Thrones takes place in the years between 1337 and 1490 in a time where nobility and the church held absolute power.

This was a time at the height and splendor of the medieval period, where great achievements and chivalric deeds were all common as were the treacherous tragedies and villainous actions of its people. In this period new cities were founded, great castles constructed, universities, convents and cathedrals built. Terrible wars were fought, the Black Death extinguished near a third of Europe’s population, famine and marauding warriors were scourges to the population.

A time where noble families in France and England engaged in an epic war for the control of the two thrones of the kingdom.

This review is from: Two Thrones (CD-ROM)

This game comes from the same line of games as Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron. Two Thrones is not as good as EU, but can still be fun. The scope of the game (really only a strategic war between England and France) limits this game somewhat. AI is not very intelligent and easy to beat. This game is worth the price.

This review is from: Two Thrones (CD-ROM)

This is a decent tactical game that is easy for most to beat. The game play is real time, not turn based. There are a lot of limitatios to this game, such as you can not leave the battle area ==however I do not see it hurting the game play, as far as enjoyablity goes. this is a great game to unwind with, even more so if you want a break from fast grafics, that tend to hype you up--in a nutshell it reminds me a really good cell phone game--but with color--an for the price= its a great buy- for tactitians
