Without a home, family, or future you end up in the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, who is forming a resistance against the invasion. By bittersweet fortune, you are one of the few survivors of this massacre. Your peaceful life is shattered when a mercenary raid, ordered by King Sigismund himself, burns your village to the ground.
In the midst of this chaos, you're Henry, the son of a blacksmith. With no king on the throne, Sigismund is now free to plunder Bohemia and seize its riches. Feigning good will, Sigismund travels to Bohemia and kidnaps his half-brother. His half-brother and King of Hungary, Sigismund the Red Fox, senses weakness in Wenceslas. Unlike his father, Wenceslas is a naive, self-indulgent, unambitious monarch. One of Charles' sons, Wenceslas, has inherited the crown. The death of its beloved ruler, Emperor Charles IV, has plunged the kingdom into dark times: war, corruption, and discord are tearing this jewel of the Holy Roman Empire apart. Seven Kingdoms 2 will certainly appeal to fanatics of strategy and resource management, but it's neither enticing nor entertaining enough to recommend to anyone else.Bohemia – located in the heart of Europe, the region is rich in culture, silver, and sprawling castles.
There's no excitement about seeing what happens next, and no desire to complete a tedious mission to see where it will lead. One of the greatest disappointments is the lack of any real storyline. The AI is generally well implemented, but sometimes erratic. Graphically, the game is a major improvement over its predecessor, using high resolutions and well-drawn sprites, but the sound effects are a bit lame -especially during combat. New weapons and technologies must be researched before they can be built, and there's far more emphasis on espionage and counter espionage this time around.īut the complexity of SK2can be intimidating and there's a danger that even the easiest of the five difficulty settings could make newcomers feel disillusioned and quickly give up the ghost.
Your empire's economy, happiness, army, diplomacy and trade are all in your hands - a task that's made all the more difficult when you're surrounded by enemies who want to wipe you out. The game itself is incredibly detailed and, if you're patient enough to handle it, SK2 can be a relatively rewarding experience, often reminiscent of Civilization.
After making these choices, it's off to the battlefield. You have the chance to take control of one of 12 human tribes (Romans, Egyptians and so on) or, if you're feeling evil, the Fryhtans themselves, and you can play in campaign, single game, scenario or multiplayer mode. SK2 is an RTS which plunges the player into a fictitious world where humans battle it out with a race called the Fryhtans, whose main goal in life is to subjugate the whole of humanity.
