Braveheart is a faithful re-creation of bfaveheart movie starring Mel Gibson. In Braveheart, you take control of a Scottish clan of your choice in an attempt to prosper and lead Scotland into a new age. Two types of gameplay, real-time strategy and 3D tactical combat, are featured throughout the game.

The real-time strategy is necessary braveheatt build up an empire and focuses on trading, diplomacy, resources, and maintaining braveheart pc game free army. The 3D combat contains epic battles bravwheart the choice of controlling a whole army from a distance or each individual soldier in the army in man-to-man combat. Players are placed in complete control of one of several accurate 13th century clans, each with different strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

The unique gameplay mix allows the player to focus on what he or she does best, either battles or strategy. Take a game that involves in-depth, turn-based bravwheart city management and a 3D tactical combat system. Now make it totally open-ended so that a player can focus on playing it in whatever style they want. Want to use political subterfuge? You got it. How about strong-arming the opposition?

Yep, you can do that too. So can your enemies--and believe me, they will. Base the game on Mel Gibson's Braveheart and give the players the option braveheart pc game free kick some serious English tail. Sound like a winner? It sure does Throw in a rfee of unimplemented features that are, for some reason, documented in the manual.

Add several bugs and you've got a recipe for frustration. More so because the game seems like it ought to be so good. Braveheart challenges the player to unite the clans of Scotland and carry the war home to the English.

You must master tribal politics and clan warfare. Frse before you can even begin to get familiar with the intricacies of 13th century kingdom management, you'll have to battle your way through an unreliable interface that seems like it should work but just doesn't. There's no doubt that the flavor of the game is perfect. The developers, Red Lemon, are from Braveheart pc game free and the game is "officially" sanctioned by the Clan Association of Scotland.

You can run into Wallace, Bruce, King Edward and other characters from the story. The realism is there, but the gameplay isn't. The sixteen clans in the game are each unique and modeled with an eye to historical bravegeart.

Over time, you'll begin to know the weakness and strengths of each of your opponents and allies. Clan Cameron for instance is great on the battlefield but are totally inefficient in times of peace. Campbell, on the other hand, prefers to rely on intrigue and their close ties with the English to rise to power. The clan you pick makes a huge difference in terms of starting location too.

Once you've made your decision, you're dropped into a tiny Scottish settlement circa For those of you who prefer to get things moving a little quicker, there braveheqrt a few accelerated start options to help pf get the jump on the competition.

The 3D bgaveheart portion of the game is a whole lot more fun than the strategic town management portion. And the best part of the combat side of the game braveheart pc game free the variety of camera angles.

Although they're a little limiting at first, once you game up disney pc pixar free for to know how to use them, you'll be able to zip braveheaft the battle with relative ease. There's a soldier's view cam that allows you to look through the eyes of any of your troops. This is great for increasing involvement in the game but does very little to help you tactically. Worst of all, you can't actually take control of the soldier directly. In all the pre-release info of the game I kept thinking how cool it would be to actually be one of those soldiers and start busting heads personally.

The other camera views больше информации chase type modes that put you directly behind the soldier bgaveheart. Last of all is a free floating camera. Sadly, it's tied to the elevation of the last soldier camera braveheart pc game free there are no separate controls for height. Otherwise camera control is pretty straightforward and surprisingly versatile. In terms of appearance, the graphics fgee pretty good.

That braveheart pc game free, if you play braveheqrt game only a few times. I can accept that all the soldiers in an individual unit look the same. It helps to differentiate them from other units. But none of the cool armors that you spent all freee time building and distributing are even apparent on the battlefield. That's less important for your own troops but it really matters whether the enemy cavalry are dressed in padded tunics or chainmail.

And there's no way to tell. There's also an upper limit of soldiers on the battlefield at once, so one soldier in the 3D display may represent 3 or 4 actual soldiers. I really wanted to see those big battles, but the game even jerks a little in the mid-sized battles. Things aren't much better when it comes to terrain.

The pre-release hype mentioned that every mile of Scotland rree northern England had been accurately mapped out when in fact, it's very hard to tell one clan territory from another from the 3D больше информации. As a result, there are very few chances to use terrain to your advantage. Most of the fights take place out in a wide-open space--even when you're sacking a town. There are some stunning variations when it comes to weather and time braveheart pc game free day.

The snow and storm textures in particular are amazing. But the fights themselves are very shallow. Despite the inclusion of controls for formation, most combats degenerate into one massive clump of friendly and enemy units killing each other.

There's no finesse here and even if you /17191.txt braveheart pc game free sophisticated maneuvering, the computer player will invariably mush all his troops together and come at you. While this may be historically accurate, it's boring as hell after your first dozen battles. I feel that the combat system has so much potential but it's impossible to actually try anything braveheart pc game free here. There are so many genuinely impressive options for controlling your army but in the end, formation and tactics are just incidental to the outcome of ftee fight.

Equally bad is the fact that you can't set the opening formation for bravegeart troops. The computer just plunks them down braceheart lines. Why the hell braveheart pc game free my longspear carriers in the back! What's the point? There are a lot of troops in the game and that's where your decisions really pay off. Knowing which weapons work best against other weapons is the bravheart to winning battles.

Keep in mind though that you'll be facing two opponents--Scots and English. Each group has unique weapons. Scots have exclusive use of the claymore, long spear good against cavalrybroad axes, short bows and clubs.

They're not so much about using the braveheart pc game free themselves. Most Braveheart pc game free horses braveheeart wind up on the dinner table. The English have the big advantage here. They also get great swords, pikes, longbows and crossbows. While there's a lot of variety to the menu, it takes forever for your armorers to "discover" bravehearg weapon types. You'll be clubbing it up for a while, my friend. Soldiers aren't the only guys you can move around the map though.

Your Leaders are very important. Without a leader, an army can only frer three things--move, garrison and guard. To initiate braveheart pc game free, raids or ambushes you'll need to assign a leader to your forces. As an added bonus, most leaders are real head bashers and can take braveheaet their share of enemy forces. Leaders braveheart pc game free also responsible for training your troops.

Gotta show braveheart pc game free villagers how to swing a frre, you know. The training of your armies is bravehart handled very well. You recruit green troops from your surplus population.

As they practice, they get better. But if you change their weapons or reassign them, they lose all experience Or больше информации worse, you accidentally disband the whole freakin' unit. I was begging for one of those annoying "Are you sure? Leaders are also responsible for vree diplomatic relations with other clans. You can send leaders on these missions, but they're too valuable You're better off sending braveheart pc game free Messenger.

Messengers don't have access to all the diplomatic functions that leaders do, but they braveheart pc game free quite a few more. Messengers can initiate alliances, gmae for loans and ransom captured leaders.
