Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania

Overview

Even with its faults it is hard to stay mad at a game with such a good sense of humor. Your land is colorful and happy-looking and so are your peasants. The heroes have their hearts in the right place. It is a hoot to listen to your minions provide their take on the situation, especially when the situation is grim. The overall mood as conveyed through the interface is “Let's have fun with a fantasy RTS!”.
