Excalibur
_Excalibur_ is a strategy game in which the player takes the role of
legendary King Arthur. Britain is divided between 16 kingdoms, but because
everyone wants to reign the whole country, a violent dispute is inevitable. So
King Arthur manages his kingdom, builds up an army and prepares for the things
to come.
The majority of the game is spent in the menus of Camelot: Merlin’s room
(magic is used to put negative effects on other kingdoms, but usage is
restricted), the treasury (all financial aspects including taxes and army
management), the throne room (official communication with other kingdoms like
paying tributes or declaring war), the round table (monitoring and managing
the contentment of the knights; a revolution would be unhealthy) and the trap
room (only used when the kingdom is under attack). Arthur can also move
outside the city and visit his vassals or other kingdoms (the latter with non-
friendly intentions). The last component is the battle system which, just like
the rest of the game, is in real-time. Similar to Legionnaire; the player
commands the army on a overhead map.
