"A
Game of Thrones - Genesis" is the video game adaptation of George R.R.
Martin's best-seller series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire. In this
strategy game developed by Cyanide Studio, your political prowess will
be as important as your strategic and military skills!
Thanks
to a well-developed single player campaign written under supervision of
the author, "A Game of Thrones - Genesis" immerses you into the heart
of the battles and intrigues between the Houses that shaped the Kingdom
of Westeros.
From
Nymeria's arrival in the Kingdom of Dorne to the awakening of the
"Others" beyond the Wall, you'll live the origins of the A Song of Ice
and Fire saga through more than 1000 years of history. From year -750 to
year 299, you will take part in Westeros' founding events and largest
battles, such as Aegon the Conqueror's invasion of the continent or the
War of the Usurper.
"A
Game of Thrones - Genesis" is also a great multiplayer game. Up to 8
players confront each others to claim the Iron Throne in intense games
where alliances, betrayals, cheap shots, and pitched battles take place!
In
this strategy game, victory does not necessarily result from brute
force. You can of course choose to use a military approach and besiege
your opponents, but you may also strangle them in an economical war, or
use all the dirty tricks possible and subtle diplomacy to politically
crush them. Treachery, deception and backstabbing are everywhere… so
watch your back, always!
Accessing
the Iron Throne is achieved by building up Prestige for your House.
Different ways are at your disposal: amassing wealth, building many
alliances, controlling the Sept temples, slaughtering the opponent…
However, some actions may also lead to Prestige loss: laying siege to an
enemy castle or town during peace time, being victim of a secret
alliance, having your bastard sons discovered, and others. Build up
enough Prestige to access the Iron Throne, or crush your opponent’s own
prestige to lead them to their dismissal! All the tools are at your
disposal for this: assassinate the opponent’s Great Lord, cut his trade
routes, bribe and turn his key units against him, capture his officers
and ask for ransoms… do everything you can to win the Game of Thrones!
The
notion of peace and war is very important in A Game of Thrones and, in
part, fixes your strategy and how you will gain control of territories.
At
the start of each game, harmony usually reigns. However, every action
taken by the players has an effect, be it positive or negative, on the
apparent peace. Every killing, assassination, imprisonment and other
treachery actions will lead toward War. To the contrary, sending
messages of peace to enemy castles (if the envoy manages to reach his
destination alive!), freeing captured enemy units, and other actions,
will maintain peace. Depending on your strategy and plans, you may want
to maintain peace, or to precipitate war.
