A famous general has decided he is tired of being a general and wants to rule. He takes over his home kingdom and then tries to take out the other kingdoms in the land. You must take him out and all the others while you’re at it.
Turn based strategy game. Build armies in your cities; transfer them to the command of a knight. Move the knights from city to city, taking over those you don’t own. Multiple armies can attack a city. Battleground is a turn based, hex grid. As two units engage, there is the option of a zoom view that shows the battle close up.
I think I got this one for 5$ or so and didn’t expect much but it turned out to be all right. It takes a long time to play a complete round though, so only beaten with one kingdom.

+ Good turn based strategy.
+ Good unit management screens / easy to use.
+ Ability to turn off the zoomed battle view.
- Horrible special effects in the zoomed battle view.

  This game is one of my all time favourites. While it does have issues, it is a very enjoyable game and a must play.
