War of the Realm – A New Online Strategy Game

War of the Realm is a new game from Red Hawk Technology, a game that the publisher describes as an “online, strategy board game” – which is an interesting description since the game has no “board” to speak of. Old habits and all that.

Each player in the game represents one of five races – human, drawf, elf, troll or goblin – and to win, you need to capture a certain number of castles and fortresses based on the number of players in the game. Details of the game, which is free to play, and the complete rules are available on the War of the Realm website.

Really extremely close. Good catch, Liga! Perhaps I need to revise my description above to remove the word “new"…

YUP, it sounds like a dumped down version of AGOT. When will the expansion come out?
