Well-received role-playing epic with an old-school style in which you, as the heir to the throne, must prove yourself to the reigning queen: bring rebellious states back under the flag of the empire, using might in combat, cunning, and diplomatic means to do so while constructing fortresses and dealing with relatives at the same time. Debuted a little earlier in the year on Mac and PC.
