France, 1309. Seven years have elapsed since the day Thierry I was crowned. The new King’s policy has been entirely based on constantly waging war against England, Aragon and the German Empire, in a fanatic attempt to gain remembrance as France’s greatest ruler. That same ambition lies under the King’s most magnificent effort, the construction of Thierripolis, a large city that has become the kingdom’s new capital. And the gem of Thierripolis is St Thierry Cathedral, a vast monument to Thierry’s own glory (now a saint) built by hordes of workers, basically slaves. For in his arrogant madness, Thierry has canonized himself, a move for which a religious schism was required: thus the King created the new Frankish Church, led by the Frankpope in Thierripolis. In his delirium, Thierry I allows no dissidence. Nothing can stand between him and his sublime goal, and those who have tried have been executed or forced into exile. No means are rejected, even if it means that many French towns must be ransacked by the King’s armies.
The people hate him. The clergy, seeing their power greatly increased under the new theocentric State, support him with all their might. But the nobility can change the situation, as discontent rises among them day by day.
Now you, one of the most powerful noblemen in France, have decided something must be done. But, will the King listen to you? Or will you provoke a bloody conflict, a civil war? And will England and our other enemies remain neutral?

Quite interesting campaign. Though the balance isn't good. You haven overwelming enemy, though that can be due to my inferior abilities. Good campaign though. |

Probably you're right and the campaign is too hard (I didn't really know because my playtesters didn't respond :(). Maybe I should make the AI a bit weaker for the final version? |

I question that review, this being a demo, but it does seem interesting... |

There's a really unique strategy for beating the first map in this campaign. Be warned: Don't read it if you didn't play it yet, you could ruin the game!
Well, it's actually a simple strategy. Simply don't bother doing all the objectives, but play up to the place where you must bring the Archbishop's head back. Then, go into the Square and kill with your Noble all of the pikemen and the executioner. It works! You simply have to run and then attack the pikemen if you've got enough HP again. This can last several hours. But if you manage to kill all of them (like I did), you can destroy all of the gates and kill the remaining pikemen in the city, get the two other heroes (Duke d'Alencon and Guillaume d'Angers) and finish off Thierripolis. That shouldn't be too hard, simply tear every building apart except walls and houses and kill every villager and pikeman you find. Occasionally you can also use the rams found somewhere in the forest in order to destroy Thierripolis's buildings faster. Get past all of the places where it says "armies are not allowed here" or "so many soldiers can't enter the city" by continually clicking the place you want to go. You should also have taken care of all of the bandits by now. If you get control of Tuck and the game says you should bring him to the monastery, DON'T. Tuck will be out of your control as soon as you do and then you'll have to kill him, and you don't want to do that. Anyway, if you got rid of Thierripolis and the bandits, go for Saumur and Cholet next. Use the rams to ram in every building you need to destroy, and kill all of the villagers with your heroes. Next, you have to kill the Royal Army (simply go neutral to him and he won't go neutral in reverse) if they aren't dead already, and then bring your rams to King Thierry and go neutral to him since he won't attack you. Ram in the gates and the castle and kill every light-blue unit you find. Then there's only the French Nobility (yellow player) left; if you made the mistake to let him get control of Tuck (as I did), you must kill Tuck as last since the game will be lost if you kill him earlier. Ram in every gate and every castle you find and don't forget the villagers that stand nearby one of the castles! Also don't forget that there's a yellow castle at the place you started. If the yellow player is defeated, only you're left and thus you have won. By the way, I found out this strategy on the first try.[Edited on 07/20/05 @ 04:19 AM]

Monsier Tuck didn't want to speak. Trigger probs. Potentially a brilliant game. |

Well this time Tuck talked, but I couldn't find the relic. Neither could I find relics in the 4th game. But all games were excellent. Thanks. |

It has to be the lower gate (aka the west gate)...click on the guard there...and the rest is onscreen explanitry...if you have already tributed the gold..then there is a chance it may not work because you didnt click on the guard at the west gate. I got stuck on this part because I didn't click the guard...I just tributed the gold without a second thought...Luckily though I had saved the game about 2 minutes earlier...so didnt have to restart the whole thing. |
