The problem is that we PC gamers are doomed to wade through a flood of strategy titles for the rest of eternity. Unfortunately, Celtic Kings is also not perfection, so we'll not find irreproachable bliss here. It's also not incredibly boring, forcing my still adolescent self to blankly stare off into the void of an unpowered television set wishing it were on and enhancing my mental prowess with tales of Undressed and elimiDATE. Rather, it's an inconspicuous, noble, and solid strategy title with RPG elements that comes built well enough to never give me cause to question my belief in videogaming as a valid hobby. MTV? ADD? Regardless, I'm no longer capable of devoting my full, undivided attention to what I play - enjoying what's to be enjoyed and dismissing what should be burnt with furious rage.Ĭeltic Kings elicits none of the above fantasies. Depending on the title, it can lead me to contentment, gloriously titillating lands overrun with many scantily clad Shiri and Charisma clones where I am equally content, or even fill me with grandiose delusions of storming into the developer's offices strutting my towering intellect and tyrannically commanding them all to make a better game with a booming voice that would force Unicron to shudder in a pathetically frightening Conrad-esque manner. Some criticisms include the somewhat overblown soundtrack and the voice acting.My imagination takes over whenever I play anything.
The game was praised for its success in mixing the elements of RTS and RPG. IGN gave the game a rating of 8.2/10, GameSpot gave it a rating of 8.4/10, while Gamespy rated the game a 4.5/5. Heroes can also recover artifacts from various temples located throughout the map, giving them special, albeit limited abilities such as healing friendly units and increased prowess in battle. The hero's experience is shared between the units under his/her command, making them stronger. Heroes can attach units to themselves, giving them the ability to march in formation. There are hero units in the game, which are considerably more powerful than normal units. If the rating reaches zero, than the structure surrenders to the conqueror's side. All structures have a loyalty rating, which gradually decreases if enemy military units are ordered to capture it. This job is also possible with archers, but less effective. This is much easier with a catapult, an immobile artillery unit built by up to ten military units to demolish enemy defenses. Structures cannot be constructed, neither can they be destroyed, They can only be captured. Mules and supply ships are used to transport resources between cities. Unlike a traditional RTS, the player's resources are not "global".

It is used to produce and upgrade your units. Gold comes mainly from taxing the people of your cities, though it can also be captured or borrowed (with a significant interest rate). Food is an important resource for keeping units alive, since they can starve, thus losing health, and weakening them in battle. Food is mainly produced from villages or can sometimes be bought or captured. There are two main resources in gameplay: food and gold. These tents can be captured by killing all the Teutons within proximity of the tent. If non-allied units get too close to the tent, the Teutons will engage them in combat. There is a third, non-playable faction, the Teutons, a nomadic people who live in tents throughout the map. Their units are different, with the superior Roman technology, while the Gauls depend on their numbers. These two factions are diverse from each other, in terms of gameplay. There are two main factions, the Romans, and the Gauls. For dialogue, it is in the form of text, where the player has a choice of what to say. In adventure mode, the player will constantly move between maps, which are all greatly varying in landscape and objectives. This is done either through fighting, training(to a certain limit, usually level 12), or, in the case of the priest/druid, learning from units with more experience (levels). Most units have the ability to gain levels. Units are controlled in a standard RTS fashion. This game uses both role-playing and real-time strategy elements. In grief, he swears vengeance, and gives his body and soul to Kathubodua, the Goddess of War, to enable him to achieve his revenge. In the main story, he loses his wife in a Teutonic raid. In both campaigns, you control a hero named Larax. Adventure mode includes a tutorial and the main story. There are three main modes: Adventure, single player (a classic RTS Skirmish mode), and multiplayer. Celtic Kings takes place in ancient Roman times, during the years that Julius Caesar was the military leader of the Roman Empire.
