Neither Lords of the Realm nor Defender of the Crown. Although I own and enjoyed both games, still awaiting the final release of Lords of the Realm III.

I think I may have run out of medieval strategy games.

Heyy, it might be like an Arthurian game of some sort.

Did they ever make a game out of The Once and Future King?

Heroes of Might and Magic?

Also, how about someone helping me out with the game I played once and posted in another thread?

Not Heroes of Might Magic, but your getting a lot warmer.

This was based on a splinter series/world from a much more well known and much more used (for game inspiration) medieval fantasy franchise.

You started with a provence and tried to control or conquer other provences through military might, political might, or magical power. And you use a combination of all three.

Oh, Fantasy. Why didn't you say so? I've been racking my mind for tenuously historical games for ages.

I realise this is utterly wrong, but just to eliminate it:

Worlds of Ultima: Savage Empire?

I don't think I've heard of that one and I'm a pretty big fan of the Forgotten Realms world.

Another clue:

Blood is thicker that water.

I thought that at first too, but AD+D intrigues?

I can't think of any intrigue-based fantasy books. The Magician series was a bit like that I suppose... I don't remember Betrayal at Krondor being strategy though.

Nope none of those, it wasn't a very well known or popular offshoot. Which I thought sad because I actually liked the political themes coming into play.

I think it was one of TSR's last ditch efforts to save itself before selling out to WotC.

Dumb question I know, but this is on the Spectrum isn't it?

You posted the first clue for the Spectrum as format, but said it was a placeholder and never replaced it. So can you confirm that it is a placeholder?

Hmmm, no one seems to be on the right track.

Another clue:
You started out as one of an elite group of people, you gained more power by 'stealing" it from others of the elite.

'Macheveli - the prince'? excuse spelling mistakes and probably not the exact correct name.

Collected Clues:

This game was loosely aligned with a whole bunch of games based on a theme, but this had a unique take on the theme.

It had three distictive playstyles, that is it was for all pratical purposes three different games and you play them individually or together (full game).

and

It had an rpg element, a strategic conquest element, and a tactical combat element. They didn't flow together well but I like the game. Course I had read all the books on the theme that the game was based on.

and

Its medieval in theme, with politics and intrigue weighing behind most of the plots and gameplay for both the books and the game.

and

Its not based on anything historical, its all make believe.

and

This was based on a splinter series/world from a much more well known and much more used (for game inspiration) medieval fantasy franchise.

You started with a provence and tried to control or conquer other provences through military might, political might, or magical power. And you use a combination of all three.

and

Blood is thicker that water.

and

Nope none of those, it wasn't a very well known or popular offshoot. Which I thought sad because I actually liked the political themes coming into play.

I think it was one of TSR's last ditch efforts to save itself before selling out to WotC.

and

You started out as one of an elite group of people, you gained more power by 'stealing" it from others of the elite.


AND A NEW ONE:


Seeing as the driving concept was in someways based on the concept of Divine Right knowing your pedigree or bloodline was pretty important.

That last one is about as blatant as I can get without just naming the game.

I played it on the PC, might have been available on other platforms though. Not sure when it was released. Even though I was interested in this particular world I missed the software release.

I saw the game at a friend of mine's house and he let me borrow it to play. Like I said, this world came out of TSR just as they were going under, right before they got gobbled up by WotC. Not much came out for it, I believe only 4-5 novels were written on this world and this is the only computer game I have ever seen for it.

Although, based on how they titled it, it would appear they planned on making sequel games.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it myself. I'm kinda sad the whole Birthright franchise didn't get a chance to get off the ground that much.

I used to always start out as the little merchantile province of Endier because that was in the first Birthright novel I read.

I used to play the nation in the bottom-right corner (can't remember the name of the nation) and go conquering, with the Spider realm in my path.

Okay, the next game.......


Proudly presented by one of the most successful game companies ever, this game is one of a long line of war-games published by them. Released in 1993 most predominately on the PC and played mostly in 2-player hotseat mode. Still regarded as one of the best hot-seat strategy games ever.
