Sword of Aragon
Description
Regarded by many wargamers as THE best fantasy wargame ever made, SSI’s Sword of Aragon is the first 4X game and a true precursor of later classics such as Conquered Kingdoms or SSI’s own Fantasy General.
Set in the Aragonian Empire, you are heir to the late Duke of Aladda, and your task is to once again extend Aladda's dominion and eventually crown yourself king in Tetrada. Executing your father's will properly means raising and equipping an army, then venturing forth to do battle against the dastardly foes threatening Aladda and its surroundings.
Your success in Sword of Aragon depends on careful allocation of precious resources, astute military planning, and deft combat maneuvers. Knights, priests, warriors, mages, rangers, cavalry, infantry, and bowmen are some of the units you can recruit, and in true AD&D fashion, you can equip them with different armor types. Nothing in the game will strike anyone today as a big deal, but back in 1989 it was a revolutionary title that attracted many non-wargamers to the genre.
Excellent AI and addictive gameplay help Sword of Aragon remain one of the most playable and replayable fantasy wargames ever. Two thumbs up!

Glad to see the greatest 4x Game on GOG
I just saw a bunch of these old SSI Games on the current Classic sale. I didn't even know they were on GOG. Sword of Aragon is the definitive 4x RPG game of all time. While the UI is very dated, the gameplay, story, and strategic elements of the game still excel even today! This is a MUST Own for anyone!

Best RPG/Strategy game
Still have the boxed version that I played on an XP compatible back in the day. I haven't played any RPG/Strategy game that even comes close to how good this game is. Thank you GOG for resurrecting this classic!

Amazing classic Strategy
Just don't invest too much money in lumber- unless you like Wood elves knocking on your door...constantly! Will never forget playing this game - my knight unit was so powerful
