Tzar: The Burden of the Crown
Description
A sinister evil has come to the peaceful kingdom of Keanor, a land of beauty, mystery and magic. The Palace lies in ruins as armies of malevolent warriors sweep through the countryside while the once-proud Imperial Guard cowers in fear. The citizens of Keanor flee their homes in terror, praying for the rise of the one true leader who, it was foretold, would lead them against the armies of darkness. Are you the hero they seek?
Tzar puts you at the heart of the battle of good versus evil. Set in the real-time fantasy world of Keanor, where the sword is the law of the land, it is up to you to stop the armies of evil. Recruit, train and command vast armies of Knights and Archers, and build fantastic weapons to smash enemy defenses. Train your Wizards to unleash their arcane powers against your foes, or conjure mighty Dragons, Jinni, and Undead to do your bidding. Can you carry the burden of the crown?

Fun and nostalgia
Remember playing this as a teenager because I was on a budget and here in Spain a company called FX Interactive published it at less than half the price of Warcraft 2. I found it really entertaining and I spent a good amount of time playing it. Sadly, the game has not aged as well as I would have expected, mainly because of the technical aspects of the game. Scroll is too sensible and music turns out to be a bit annoying. Also, I had to set my nVidia card to force rescaling the game to full size, otherwise it would display in a tiny window. However, I've discovered myself playing a couple of hours, and that's a good sign nowadays, hehe.

Tzar, one of the best games
I first played this game as a kid. It was so long ago that I don't even remember exactly when. I certainly didn't drink beer or smoke pipes yet and in Poland the age of initiation is about 16 for my puberty, so... Returning to the subject of the game. This is a great and quite simple strategy game that I like to return to. If you like the atmosphere of medieval fortresses and mass combat, you will definitely find something for yourself. However, don't count on an extensive economy. Here, more improvements are more important. Good luck!
