Fantasy 6-Pack
The Conquest 6-Pack from Auran once again
combines six classic strategy and real-time strategy games into one
powerful combination that includes six full games. Gamers can visit a
plethora of different worlds, from the far flung reaches of cosmos in
O.R.B. II - Off World Resource Base in a battle between two powerful
alient races or the war torn cities of Jagged Alliance 2 that pits players
against players in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Whether it's the lands of
Europe and the New World in Europa Universalis II that has the player in a made race of
conquest and discovery or the battles of Julius Caesar in Celtic Kings,
this entertaining six pack guarantees gamers almost a year of endless gameplay.
Although some of these appear a little
dated, the majority of titles still hold up quite well to games of similar
genre and were the true precursors to modern strategies games.
Once again, Auran have priced this magnificent boxed set at $29.95 that
can be purchased online at www.auran.com
or at your preferred software retailer.
Interestingly enough, there is only one
game in this set that is based in the future that has the gamer
collecting resources and battling their alien opponent in a battle for
conquest. Celtic Kings and Legion are your more standard real-time
strategy games that is similar to games such as Warcraft or Age of
Empires.
Whereas Patrician and Europa Universalis II are
your more intense strategy
games that is more about micro and macro-management of your universe as
opposed to Jagged Alliance which is more your strategic game that is in the same vein as
Commandos that has the player controlling a squad of elite militants.
Summary of titles:
O.R.B. Off-World Resource Base: Two
races, one universe. The Malus, a stout and rigidly disciplined culture
based on strength and triumph over adversity have come to see themselves
as the rightful rulers of the cosmos. The Alyssians, an independent,
self-sufficient and fatalistic race have sacrificed their individualism
for the greater cause of societal harmony. They are both to discover
they were not alone in the universe.
Jagged Alliance – Gold Pack: Arulco
has been taken over by a merciless dictator – and only you can loosen
the iron grip! Jagged Alliance 2 lets you use negotiation, strategic
tactics and battle strength to win back control, until…Jagged Alliance 2
Unfinished Business brings you back. Arulco is under attack again, but
this time, from powers within, and the nation needs your help.
Europa Universalis II: The sequel to
one of the greatest strategy games ever made invites you to a global
struggle for supremacy from the dark times of Jeanne D’Arc to the
flaming wares of Napoleon. As the leader of a country you must guide
domestic and foreign policies, engage in religious struggles, setup
expeditions to claim the New World and lead your country to prosperity
and victory.
Celtic Kings – Rage of War: Julius
Caesar wants to expand his already massive empire and he has his sights
set on the lush countryside of Gaul. Relive all of the excitement of the
Roman conquests in two modes: strategic, where you can play as the
Romans or the Gauls and adventure, where you take on the role of Larax.
Two exciting modes, one action-packed conquest – let the best warrior
win!
Patrician II – Quest for Power: As a
citizen of a medieval hanseatic town, your goal is to rise from the
status of a simple, insignificant trader to that a big businessman and
perhaps even become the head of the Handseatic League. To achieve your
goal, you must gain recognition and prestige among the people – rich and
poor – and try to make profit by means of maritime trade, the production
of goods or through piracy and smuggling.
Legion: Featuring both strategic and
tactical elements, the game unfolds during the rich history that was the
Roman Empire. At the strategic level, you control vast armies and
attempt to carve an Empire from the assortment of tribes and city-states
that occupied ancient Italy, France and Britain. At the tactical level,
you must position your armies to take advantage of terrain and make use
of the best formations, in order to achieve victory.
