Description

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.

Classic Fun

I've always loved these games. Too bad nobody, as of late, is considering a Castles 3.

Oh, come on!!

These are older than DIRT! Part 1 is STRICTLY for nostalgia. Part 2 is playable but old as piss. You might want it for the unique castle building echelons, but they should have just left it in the abandonware stuff. I'd pay like $1.50 for the pair, no more. THAT is strictly for the service of being able to find them on GoG if I wanted them.
