A classic fantasy RTS from 2000
Tzar: The Burden of the Crown is a real-time strategy game by Haemimont Games, originally released in 2000. The story takes place in the kingdom of Keanor, where the Palace lies in ruins and armies of malevolent warriors are sweeping through the countryside. The Imperial Guard cowers, citizens flee their homes, and it falls to you to lead them against the armies of darkness. The game puts you at the heart of a battle of good versus evil in a world where the sword is the law of the land.
Building and commanding your forces
Your job is to recruit, train, and command vast armies of Knights and Archers, and to build fantastic weapons to smash enemy defenses. Wizards can be trained to unleash arcane powers against your foes, or to conjure mighty Dragons, Jinni, and Undead to do your bidding. The game features a beautifully rendered fantasy world with Dragons, Jinni, Knights, Wizards, and much more.
What to expect from the maps
The game environment is challenging, with changing climate that impacts gameplay, wild animals to contend with or avoid, magical artifacts to discover, and ancient ruins to explore. There are twenty exciting and unique missions to play in the campaign, plus an infinite amount of random maps for whenever you want to keep going beyond the story.
