Age of Castles

The kingdom needs your leadership


It is the Age of Castles. In a distant realm, a great evil has swept across the land. Demons from the underworld and their evil minions have poured across the kingdoms of man, until the great cities lay in ruin. There's nothing but a handful of cowering souls remaining.

The people are in need of a king, someone of great strength and courage who can rid the land of the evil plague and rebuild the cities. You are that king. You alone must travel to the end of the world, build a mighty castle, slay the undead hordes, and convert the people of the land to loyal subjects of your domain...in the Age of Castles.

In Age of Castles you will be challenged to find the right balance of army building, recruiting people, castle building, and growing an economy. Too much of one thing may mean disaster and the fall of your kingdom. But you can prevail, the people need you!

Empires & Dungeons

Build your hero and empire take over the land
It is a dark time of war in the land. Many lords are attempting to seize control of surrounding territory to expand their empires - including you!

Empires & Dungeons is a blend of fantasy strategy and role playing. Build your army to attack and defend enemy factions. Build your main character by crawling dungeons and fighting monsters. You will need both to succeed.

Your heroes personal victory is essential
To get the money you need to build your army and construct advanced buildings to get better soldiers, your hero must explore dungeons. You will come upon many different creatures that when defeated, will give you treasure, weapons and experience. Level up your hero to become a better fighter.

You must also choose your moves in the main world carefully. Every move you make, your enemy will make one as well, getting stronger with each step. Use your brains and your brawn to conquer Empires & Dungeons!

Oblivion

Bethesda Softworks Announces The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

'Quintessential RPG of the Next Generation' Under Development for PC and Future Generation Consoles

(Rockville, MD) October 22, 2004 -- Bethesda Softworks LLC, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion™ is currently in development for PC and future generation consoles. In development since 2002, Oblivion is another leap forward in role-playing with its combination of freeform gameplay and cutting-edge graphics. Oblivion is the sequel to the best-selling, award-winning role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind®, named 2002 RPG and Game of the Year for both PC and Xbox.

"Since starting this project two years ago, our goal has been to create the quintessential RPG of the next generation," said Todd Howard, executive producer of The Elder Scrolls® series. "We looked back at what we had done with the series, and then looked ahead to what the future of video games could be, and we think this is it."

In keeping with the Elder Scrolls tradition, players will have the option to experience the main quest at their own pace, and there will be plenty of opportunities to explore the vast world and make your own way. Numerous factions can be joined, such as the thieves or mages guilds, and each contains its own complete storyline and the chance to rise to the head of the faction and reap further rewards.

Howard commented, "Our games have always been about great depth and variety in creating any kind of character you want and going out and doing whatever you want." He added, "With Oblivion, we're taking the idea of a virtual fantasy world as far as it will go."

Oblivion features a groundbreaking new AI system, called Radiant AI, which gives non-player characters (NPCs) the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them. They'll decide where to eat or who to talk to and what they'll say. They'll sleep, go to church, and even steal items, all based on their individual characteristics. Full facial animations and lip-synching, combined with full speech for all dialog, allows NPCs to come to life like never before.

Oblivion is a single-player game that takes place in Tamriel's capital province, Cyrodiil. You are given the task of finding the hidden heir to a throne that sits empty, the previous emperor having been killed by an unknown assassin. With no true Emperor, the gates to Oblivion (the equivalent of hell in the world of Tamriel) open, and demons begin to invade Cyrodiil and attack its people and towns. It's up to you to find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
