Diehard GameFAN Preview: Lionheart: King’s Crusade

Diehard GameFAN writes: "

Ah the Crusades. Such a fun time in Christian and European history. Obscene amounts of money and materiel spent to conquer, re-conquer, then not-at-all conquer a certain quasi-barren, marginally inhabitable stretch of land just because some guy they really admired hung out there over a thousand years ago. It’d be like taking the U.S. First Infantry Division to go visit Graceland. It rightfully is considered one of the worst foreign policy initiatives ever, and would have been completely unforgivable except for the fact that while the combined armies and heads of state of Christian Europe were out slaughtering and oppressing Muslims and Brown-Skinned Christians, their respective homelands enjoyed a period of peace and economic stability at the peasant level, mainly because the armies weren’t there to slaughter and oppress them."

GameGrin: Lionheart: Kings Crusade PC Review

GameGrin Writes- "Holy war time! Yep, Lionheart: King's Crusade is a real time strategy based on one of the most infamous wars ever; the war between the Christians led by King Richard, and the Muslim armies of Saladin, both fighting over the holy land known as Jerusalem. This places you in the era of the Third Crusade, spanning the years 1189-1192. With this, you can expect a series of battles that take you throughout the Middle East on a drive to conquer all 16 kingdoms in the region - not forgetting the tonnes of gruesome bloody battles you will have on the way!"

A little pointless with the name change, but the game itself looks very decent.
