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!

Great Old Game
I bought this game in either 1990 or 1991 for my Amiga. I loved this game - it was definitely a stay up and play all night game. I'm not that far into it playing it again in 2025, but I still like it. Certainly it shows age, but the concept still holds up.

Good old turn based strategy
One of the first, certainly for me. Turn based strategy in a Dungeons&Dragons like setting. When graphics aren't everything and the game just hits the good way.

Highly recommend
Teleport your whole army into the middle of hoards of trolls, goblins, and giants then summon a tower to rain fire and brimstone from. This is a childhood favorite that im happy to revisit every once in a while. Only real negative is city managment is annoying sometimes and keeping your mages alive is vital.
