I'm an avid gamer of all genres and Celtic Kings is my all time favourite . The graphics and the music and general aura has a certain magical mystical charm . A charm of the kind we find in books like Lord of the Rings . I like RTS games , but I get bored halfway through with all the repetitive building , farming and mining . In this game we only capture enemy building and make them out own . It is more realistic. You can actually have hundreds of soldiers in your army - all in perfectly ordered formations . Its quite cool to watch your massive army clashing into your enemy's massive army amid touching heroic music . It sure reminds me of Lord of the Rings. This game has only two civilizations - Roman and Gaul . There are Teutons too . But they only live in tents which you can capture and make the teutons there serve you . Other games like Age of Empires may have dozens of civilizations . But they all have the same units who look the same , except the a single special unit unique to that civilization . But in C.K each civilization is completely unique . Unique units , unique buildings , unique names etc . Everything is very detailed . There are magical items hidden in tree stumps , caves etc that units can take to enhance their abilities . It is all in all , a world of mystery . You never know what you will see behing the fog . Maybe a cave full of magical artifacts guarded by ghouls and evil monks , a cursed mountain , a secret druid sanctuary or perhaps a loyal army waiting to aid you when you despair of all hope . The AI is pretty intelligent . They are known to lure you away with a small force right into the enemy ambuish . Most importantly the AI Don't Cheat . Yet it is quite challenging . And the RPG mode is just fabulous. You play the Hero Larax who trades his soul to the war godess Kathobodua for highly enhanced strength and combat inorder to exact revenge on the teutons who destroyed his town and killed his wife. The saga goes on for 30 epic missions . In conclusion , this is an EPIC game that shouldn't be missed by any gamer .
