Foundation Gold
This was the final version of a real-time strategy game influenced by Command
& Conquer and The Settlers. This package features the 40 levels from the
Director’s Cut edition, and the 40 levels from the Undiscovered Land add-on
disk, as well as varied difficulty levels.
The game features 20 different buildings, many of which require resources
produced or modified from another building. As well as knights, your
population includes Maidens (breeding is covered more realistically than most
God-sims, in which the guys seem to reproduce by magic), Wizards (who can use
the bodies of the dead to create buildings) and peasants, who can be trained
to become guards, who can graduate into being full soldiers. Combat can be
initiated by sending soldiers into enemy terrain, and attack methods such as
arson can be taught to the peasants. There are 4 distinctly different types of
landscape – Summer, Winter, Lava and Gloomy.
