INTRO

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a real-time strategy game set in the magical kingdom of Ardania. Unlike other games of this genre, it features indirect control of the player’s heroes.
Simply put, unlike common real-time strategy games, you cannot simply select your heroes and send them to kill a monster. In the Majesty series, players can build a capital, create guilds that train heroes of different classes, pay for the education of a certain number of heroes – but after that, those heroes live their own lives.

In the world of Majesty, you are the ruler of the kingdom of Ardania.
At your service are your loyal and somewhat obnoxious subordinates, who have their own minds about how things should be done.
Majesty is the only game where your heroes decide on their own what should be done and when, leaving you to try to control them through monetary incentives.

Features in Majesty2:
- Real-time strategy game with indirect control - your heroes have a will of their own.
- Play through a campaign with 16 missions divided into 4 chapters, as well as a few quick missions and a variety of multiplayer maps.
- Build the fantasy city of your dreams and experience an engaging world, but beware: monsters are waiting to lay siege to your domain.
- Defend your realm with noble warriors, spell-wielding wizards or wild barbarians. Choose from more than 10 different classes to oversee the protection of your lands.
- GameSpy multiplayer for up to 4 players over LAN or Internet, including support for ranking ladders and tournaments.
- The official sequel to the best-selling game "Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim" of 2000.
