> What was the inspiration in creating Majesty? > Settlers II, Heroes of Might & Magic II, Warcraft II. The devs of this game made the expansions to HoMM2 and Warcraft2! They know what they are talking about. The game also feels a lot like Dungeon Keeper, except the promise of simulation wasn't broken. You can't pick up all of your heroes at once and drop them on enemies, with confidence that they will stay and fight to the bitter end. You DO have to use reward flags (Call to Arms spell in DK). Rimworld is a bit like that, except in that game you can micromanage everything. Direct control in combat through "Draft" button and out of combat you can right click and make a colonist prioritize anything. So Majesty is more of a simulation. One of my favorite things in Majesty is the loose campaign. It's really a collection of single scenarios that you can mostly play in any order. Hardest ones are unlocked later. You basically get access to the entire tech tree in every scenario, but each of them puts a unique twist or restriction. For instance, you can't build some advanced structures but you can get them for free if you discover them on the map. And the kicker is that many strategies actually work! If you go to a wiki and look up scenarios(quests), different people recommend different approaches. And the scenarios are very replayable because positions are randomized each time. Dungeon Keeper feels stale and repetitive by comparison. Your more advanced things are locked for most of the campaign and you're forced into certain path by impassable rock, lava or water. Here, you are overwhelmed with options and technically you may have access to all but time is limited and you need to choose priorities. Sound design and voice acting is exceptional. One downside is that the game is a bit hard to get into and understand the mechanics. Reading the manual is worth your time. You also can't set permanent hotkeys for spells in menu, you have to redo each scenario.
