Great Invasions
Great Invasions is an extremely elaborate real-time strategy game covering over 700 years of history. The game has been designed and developed in collaboration with historians and as a result, it is ripe with historically accurate gameplay. Its rare blend of richness and depth make it a truly addictive game!  It plunges you into the Dark Age of Europe, a time where barbarian tribes and nation states quarreled, warred and conquered each other. Great Invasions allows you to lead armies in the epic conquest of Europe and to use force or diplomacy in the pursuit to establish dominance.
