Royalty among real-time strategies.

Tzar: The Burden of the Crown, an elaborate and masterfully executed real-time strategy driving its inspiration from the history of medieval wars, is available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

Many people imagine the life of the monarchs to be simple and blissful. There's no higher authority, so there's no one to tell them what to do. They can decide to spend their days feasting, dancing, hunting, and pursuing other frivolous activities. The thing they don't understand is the weight of the crown. Not the actual weight--that's quite bearable, even though many rulers would much prefer a simple felt hat, then a layered construct of fine gold and jewel stones--they weigh no less than regular stones, mind you. The metaphorical weight is far greater. The burden of the crown is the burden of the ages. As it rests on one's head, so does the whole history of a nation: the past, the present, and the future. To tell you the truth, the latter feels the heaviest, today. Excuse your Tzar this moment of chatter, Field-marshal. The battle is upon us, let gods make it the last one.

Tzar: The Burden of the Crown offers the best in real-time strategy gameplay with a believable setting and nice sense of scale, and just a splash of fantasy. The three factions available in the game--Europeans, Asians, and Arabs--differ greatly from one another in terms of gameplay style and available facilities. The main campaign spanning across twenty scenarios grants many hours of challenge and excitement. When it ends the game provides an infinite number of randomly-generated maps, and a solid multi-player mode.

Accept the greatest responsibility and take a nation's fate in your own hands in Tzar: The Burden of the Crown, for only $5.99 on GOG.com
Looks cool. Wishted.
I don't think this version includes the additional campaigns, right? In Spain there is a gold edition that includes five campaigns: The Burden of the Crown, El Cid and the Reconquista, King Arthur and Excalibur, The Imperium of Genghis Khan and Domains of Magic.

Wikipedia says El Cid and the Reconquista and Domains of Magic were released only in Spain and the other two only in Italy and Spain
Hmm, I *like* the video. One of the best on GOG!

Some questions:

Can you build walls?
Can you change the game speed on the fly? (Via single key press -- e.g., speed up/down keys.)
Can you pause the game?
Can you issue orders while paused?

FX Interactive is the distributor of the game in Spain and they distrbuted with the five expansions. FX Interactive also makes some distribution of games in Italy, and probably there, the only distributed with two expansions.

This is the spanish page page with all the content

Crosmando: One game on Tues, so much for GOG "picking up the pace" of classic releases after the month-long sale.
One is more than zero. Give them some time. I also want many new classics (oxymoron?) but I also trust they do what they can. If they don't deliver many new classics over an extended period than they might not be as good as they think they are but until then ....

You are one cheeky little cunt, aren't you.
Nice to see more old games released on GOG. Will wishlist this for right now since the rent is coming up soon.
Love, love, love.
I have a vow on gog that I'll only buy an RTS if it starts with Command and finishes with Conquer.

But this is a nice addition to the catalog, keep those old games coming!

Yes, you can build walls and gates.
Yes, you can change the game speed with + and -.
Yes, the game can be paused.
I don't remember very well, but you can always reduce the game speed to minimum and achieve a similar effect.

Fab, the "upcoming release" guesses were right. This looks like a peach of a game, so it's going onto the list for my next splurge. Thanks GOG!
Change the trailer video guys, to same gameplay footage, because that horrible trailer is rather going to loose sales for you than to gain any.
