Following its show-stopping debut at Digital Jesters' recent press event, the UK website for the forthcoming Medieval Lords: Build, Defend, Expand has now gone live. Gamers can head to www.MedievalLords.com to access all the latest information - from screenshots and video footage, through to news pieces and a forum for those who just can't contain their excitement any longer - Digital Jesters has provided a one-stop resource to cater for all needs. The thrilling new video unveiled at the same Digital Jesters' event has also been made available on-site.
Medieval Lords is a refreshingly unique take on the city building concept. Shifting the perspective from the usual forced snap-to-grid structure that characterises the genre, developer Monte Cristo has bestowed upon its offspring a gloriously free-form 3D engine. In a world-wide first for city builders, it allows the player the freedom to place buildings wherever they like, in any position they like, and then view the action from any angle they like.
Add to this a more dynamic threat system - whereupon you can visually observe attacks on your city and become involved in defending it as it happens - and cutting edge visual and aural technology, and you have an exciting and involving experience that stands out from the crowd.
Medieval Lords: Build, Defend, Expand will be released in October 2004, with a SRP of £29.99.
