    FEATURES

    XIII Century is a real-time strategy game driven by an epic storyline torn from the pages of history. Players control European kings and dukes, Russian princes and boyars, and Mongolian khans and noyons. XIII Century features large-scale battles with thousands of soldiers clashing on detailed, realistic battlefields. This historical simulation recreates actual conditions of these glorious battles, taking into account the effects of terrain and weather.

    Wage war through 30 battles across 5 campaigns for the nations of England, France, Mongolia, Germany, and Kievan Rus' (Russia). Recreate great battles that changed the course of medieval history, including the battle of Bouvines (July 27, 1214), the battle of Falkirk (July 22, 1298), the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (July 16, 1212), and the battle on Lake Peipus (April 5, 1242). Many of the conflicts in XIII Century have never been featured in any PC game before, including the battle of Gelheim (July 2, 1298), battle of Taillebourg (July 22, 1242), and the siege of the stronghold Salvatierra (1211).

    Took advantage of it being on offer and got the gold version. Must say I am really impressed. Much prefer it to the Medieval Total War. A great fire up for 15 minutes title. At least the AI is aggressive if heavily scripted (I felt!), and the lack of a freeplay campaign makes its long lasting appeal as a solo game limited. Totally agree with a previous reviewer about the HDR effects - much more enjoyable when deselected. This will be on my hard drive for a long time I feel.

    I just purchased the gold version of this game which also comes with Blood of Europe. I'm a huge fan of games set in Medieval Times. I've only played this game in the battle/skirmish mode, not the campaigns and I can honestly say this is an excellent game. It has an old school look and feel to it, the strategy and movement of your units IMO surpasses the Total War Series of games, very fluid and dynamic in your ability to change formations or tactics rapidly. The sound effects are on par with games of this class, not the best though solid. Graphically I like it a lot, the characters have a distinctive and artistic look to them. The Gold Version with Blood of Europe looks excellent, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DISABLE the HDR effects, which are WAY OVERBLOWN! Good game to pass the time, I'm really enjoying this game.

    A very refreshing alternative to Medieval II Total War. Coats of arms are very detailed, the troop types and tactical options are reasonably numerous, and the battles very cleverly built. However, the difficulty level is insanely high, so the campaigns (in fact a succession of set-piece historical battles) must usually be fought several times before you succeed...or you abandon the game!

    This games version of strategy is more like Tetris. I cant say it got a bad AI, but thats mainly because I'm not sure if it got an AI, the enemy rarely moves their units from their starting positions and even then they wont move far. The units and maps are cool enough which is why I gave it 3 stars, but theres nothing strategic about this game.
