Castles 1+2
Castles 1+2 is a collection of two classic medieval strategy games focused on castle building, kingdom management, diplomacy, and conquest. In Castles I, build and defend castles, manage resources and population, and engage in warfare and political maneuvering against rival lords. Castles II: Siege & Conquest expands the experience with scouting, territory expansion, alliance building, maintaining favor with the Church, and competing to become King of France through military and diplomatic means.
Castles 1+2 Overview
Welcome to the world of Castles. As a lord or lady of the realm, you’ve built the castle of your dreams, battled bloodthirsty dragons, engaged in brutal treachery, sent troops abroad to war, and defended your land against marauding enemies. But they’re still not happy. Maybe you shouldn’t have poured hot oil on their heads…?
And now, with “Castles II: Siege and Conquest” you can experience even more. It is the year 1311. The King of France just died and because King Charles didn’t have any heir, it is up to you to take control of as much of France as you can. If you manage the Kingdom properly and the Pope gives you the blessing, then you will become the King of France.
Castles and Castles 2, bundled together, are games of medieval diplomacy, treachery and power. To win, you must survive. To survive you must scout the surrounding territories, defeat the local militias, subjugate the land with castles, feed and maintain the people, forge diplomatic alliances, appease the church and unite the land under your iron fist.
