The Kingdom of Ardania needs a sovereign ruler. Although diversity flourishes in the many races that make up its population, this ancient land of magic, strange creatures and shifting aspects is in dire need of a ruler to unite the people and defeat the creeping evil that is causing the dead to grow restless. It needs a strong hand at the reins -- a strong leader to reign supreme and bring the kingdom once again to the heights of its Majesty. That leader is you.
In Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim single-player mode, quests come in the guise of 19 missions or campaigns filled with random elements. The quests come in three levels of difficulty: beginner, advanced and expert and can be played in any order. However, certain quests are not available at the start of a new game and can only be accessed after pre-determined quests are completed. Each quest is preceded by a briefing from a Royal Advisor and is then, in turn, followed by an outline of the goals for the quest.
In multi-player mode, randomly generated freestyle scenarios must be created (they can also be played as single-player scenarios). The game's map generator creates a new and different map for every quest each time it's played. Although gameplay varies with each new quest, certain actions form the core of kingdom-generation such as building guilds and temples from which to recruit heroes.
It is through these heroes that you'll accomplish goals by offering rewards for various activities such as fighting monsters and enemies, finding gold, exploring the surroundings, gathering magic and so forth. All heroes have unique abilities and attributes as well as individual priorities and goals. Only through the offer of rewards can you motivate them to do your bidding as you establish attack and exploration flags on various locales, buildings and enemies throughout the land.
Through the use of control windows for each major area in the game (palace, heroes and buildings), all levels of activity are tracked. Current focus, experience, weapon usage, armor, spells available, statistics, items, hit points, name and more are but some of the aspects that can be maintained and manipulated. Heroes gain experience and, thus, enhanced abilities through several means including training and competition at Fairgrounds, libraries (researching spells and increasing magical ability) and improvement in equipment as well as through purchase of potions, items, research and magic at Marketplaces.
Victory conditions in Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim are adjustable and include elimination of all foes, gathering a set amount of gold, surviving a specified amount of time and having the last palace standing. Other areas of customization include numbers of player and enemy forces and heroes allowed in each scenario, types and numbers of wandering monsters, terrain options (freestyle scenarios) and amount of gold. All maps have a generation number that can be used for replay purposes.
By the numbers, the game contains more than two dozen buildings available for construction, eight buildings that "appear" during gameplay, 16 types of heroes, a half-dozen indigenous units (e.g., tax collectors, peasants, guards) who operate outside your influence, more than 20 monster-types (some with sub-levels), 22 hero spells and 22 sovereign spells connected to specific temples and guilds.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
