  • Seven Kingdoms Ancient Adversaries - Trevor Chan’s Seven Kingdoms proved that the real time strategy (RTS) doesn’t have to be just orcs and humans smashing heads, it brought in diplomacy, economy, espionage and a population management. Didn’t really do well on the whole combat part.

    (Game Description) Seven Kingdoms is a real-time strategy (RTS) computer game developed by Trevor Chan of Enlight Software. The game enables players to compete against up to six other kingdoms allowing players to conquer opponents by defeating them in war (with troops or machines), capturing their buildings with spies, or offering opponents money for their kingdom. The Seven Kingdoms series went on to include a sequel, Seven Kingdoms II: The Fryhtan Wars. In 2008, Enlight released a further title in the Seven Kingdoms series, Seven Kingdoms: Conquest.

    This was one of the most underrated RTS games...over shadowed by age of empires which was released around the same time. But the depth was amazing! Can train and upskill people, do trading etc. Way ahead of its time...

      can't agree more. It is my first game. I was amazed by its complicity and dynamic economic system. My first loss was selling my throne to AI because I don't know what the word "throne" means until I saw the picture of bodies scattered all over. This revolutionary game was far ahead of its age and it is a real shame that it was shadowed by Red alert and age of empire.

    The game is amazing, it brings aspects like spionage other games have forgotten. You could also attempt to steal money or technologies as far as I know

    • @thesacredlobo
      @thesacredlobo 7 років тому +3

      Yeah, spies can be highly useful in this game, but getting them into the right position to abuse any of their abilities is rather difficult. So much so that I tend to favor military conquest as a method of destroying enemies.

  • @lrmcatspaw1
    @lrmcatspaw1 7 років тому +6

    My favorite mode to play this was to split villages once you got 50-60 people and grow my kingdom to the point where the enemies would surrender :D.

    • @thesacredlobo
      @thesacredlobo 7 років тому +1

      I don't think I've ever seen that happen. I know it's possible to buy up AI kingdoms on lower difficulty settings, but I usually find it near impossible to do that when the AI is at the highest setting.

  • @HoneyBadger1779
    @HoneyBadger1779 6 років тому +3

    I figured out how the AI makes it past the map filter. It puts spies in neutral villages where you have a fort, waits a few months, then infiltrates the fort from the nearby village because the travel time is near instant. Hence, you likely don't see it.
    II didn't have water and boats which made the game feel empty.

      Well, my best educated guess is that a caravan is meant to represent 10 citizens. Which is rather strange considering your population doesn't appear to decrease any when you make a caravan.

    This game blew my mind, especially how it realistically depicted immigration..there would be tension..and the spies...no game ever took on espionage like this.....only thing I didn't like were the monster races. Not sure if it was only in #2 where you could set all Human opponents,

    Este fué mi primer rts junto con el Knights and Merchants. Nunca vi tutoriales xq era chico y con los años le agarre la practica hasta que podia pasar algunos escenarios. Encima el ingles no lo tengo de todo entendido pero en la practica consegui para entender el juego. Nunca supe como el enemigo por más que yo tuviera una buena reputación y demas me robara mis soldados. Hasta teniendo el mismo tamaño de ejercito pasaba eso. La mecánica mas divertida son los espias. Para no entrar en guerra, podias comprar al general y cuando saliensen del fuerte los reclamabas jajajaja y asesinar al rey ufff

    Never mind. Apparently I should have waited until after the 14 minute mark to make my comment, but I figured you'd have discussed the ability to convert people to your side by giving them jobs when you were discussing the ability to lower their resistance through generals of the same nationality or utilizing spies in order to lower their resistance to your rule.

      @thesacredlobo 7 років тому

      True. One my favorite tactics is to centralize all of my villages and military forces. That way I can surround the AI's small waves of troops with superior numbers.
      Of course, you can also blow up the target of an AI attack in order to get them to back down as well.

    Dude the gameplay footage is absolutely terrible, the player puts peasants in forts instead of training soldiers, puts generals in forts next to towns of the wrong nationality, leaves soldiers surrounded to be killed, executes worthy immigrants for no reason, promotes incompetent soldiers for no reason, leaves forts unattended, mixes different nationalities in the same town, infiltrates spies on towns of the wrong nationality, and probably more I missed out. Also spies can be trained to be soldiers, they don't need to hope to be recruited as soldiers by the rival kingdom. And also, you can't put your goods in foreign markets, they have to do it themselves by buying your products from your market with their caravans, or you could just build your own market next to their city and supply it with goods to compete with the local market.
    Combat being simplistic is not a bad thing by itself considering how many more things the player has to keep in mind in this game. Battles can be really fun when two large armies collide and you try to keep your generals alive while trying to kill the enemy generals and avoiding to be surrounded, ambushed, or betrayed by another kingdom, while trying to keep up with all the other aspects of handling your kingdom and looking out for enemy spies. This game had an amazing depth for all its simple mechanics.
