After the farmers had been slaughtered by giants/titans/demons my real troops, who got all the money i made from conscription, came in and cleaned up.<br />I felt like a good King... with 90% of my population dead as cannon fodder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-36595570054328187962019-08-25T20:46:00.263-04:002019-08-25T20:46:00.263-04:00Russell, thank you so much for commenting.

I'd love to know more about the genesis of this game, your inspirations, and why the two of you didn't work on another one!

We were not SSI employees and developed the game independently. Bret Berry helped add a ton of polish to our rough creation, deserves credit for the end product.

A modern version of the game would naturally introduce better graphics/sounds. Maybe one could add some NPCs as well... dialogue screens with different leaders...or random encounters that the "you" hero faces on his travels...Alexander Sebastian Schulzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15135338616598357444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-45517472218833858002013-08-16T02:54:44.012-04:002013-08-16T02:54:44.012-04:00I'll have most people's comments in my ema...I'll have most people's comments in my email, as I subscribed to the thread; for example CRPG Addicts comment on crime stats I was going to reply to from the 13th.
