Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader 1dvd Autorun

Combining a serious focus on battlefield tactics with some enjoyable role playing makes Lionheart: Kings' Crusade a winner. 

War in the Holy Land is the subject of Lionheart: Kings' Crusade, a real-time strategy look at the conflict between the Christian forces of King Richard and the Muslim armies of Saladin. Developer Neocore Games has ripped a few pages out of the Total War playbook here, with a game that looks and plays a fair bit like the medieval editions of that long-running series. The focus is more on pure tactics, however, as the game exists almost entirely on the battlefield. A solid layer of strategic depth forces you to carefully arrange your troops and even decide how to play up the various factions that make up the Christian and Muslim armies. Only a few crash bugs get in the way of enjoying this havoc in the Holy Land.
