Bes Medieval Strategy Games Ever Made
Strategies are one of the most popular genres of games, covering almost any worlds and settings. Strategies about the Middle Ages are particularly well-known: these times, as many know, tell of kings, huge stone castles, knightly tournaments, and large-scale wars using heavy cavalry, catapults, and battering rams.
Middle Ages strategies can be either real-time or turn-based. Usually, the gamer takes on the role of the commander of an army or immediately the king of the chosen country. Players may be sent directly to the world map, and sometimes battles take place in separate locations.
