Product Description:
Welcome to the world of Seven Kingdoms II, a world of intrigue and diplomacy, of trade and industry, of betrayal, espionage and conquest. Seven Kingdoms II is the highly anticipated sequel to Trevor Chan's debut game of empire-building and diplomatic intrigue where the monstrous Fryhtans are back with a vengeance.

Amazon.com Review:
Whether you play a king or a deadly Fryhtan monster, Seven Kingdoms 2: The Fryhtan Wars sets the task of building an empire from the humblest of beginnings--a single stronghold. Surrounded by hostile forces eager to expand into your territory, this stronghold must establish control over neighboring towns in order to acquire recruits and tribute for its armies. There is a constant risk of being overwhelmed by your enemies, and to fend off rivals, you must use diplomacy and war judiciously.

Fans of the original Seven Kingdoms game will enjoy this sequel, which revives the core concepts of its predecessor while updating and expanding on its themes. Internal and external politics of your growing kingdom figure strongly--keeping the peasants fed is as important as fending off hostiles--but your control of the population is absolute, and there is a lot of flexibility in how you achieve those goals. However, the game interface is nonintuitive, and the command configuration for the mouse is unwieldy. This makes troop control and battles harder to manage than they should be, especially compared to the elegance of other, similar games.

That said, the actual battles pose interesting tactical problems, and conducting warfare is enjoyable. For addicts of fantasy strategy games, Seven Kingdoms 2: The Fryhtan Wars offers significant challenges and hours of gaming fun. --Alyx Dellamonica

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty Good, I'd say
I would say this game is pretty good. A well-made strategy. After playing the tutorial games, I ruled with the humans, who are my favorite race to play. This game takes a little to understand, ESPECIALLY with the intricacies of playing as humans. N.B. The humans are siginificantly weaker than some of the Fryhtan races. But the humans have many more possibilities. When you play them right, the Fryhtans don't stand a chance. But playing as the Fryhtans is simple and a lot of fun. The game just needs some better sound and a few more features, and it would be five-star. Unfortunately, it lacks those.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The game is sound and a few improvements away from greatness
I like Seven Kingdomes 2 but think there are a few problems. 1 is that is you are the humons your population doesn't reproduce (you use your towns men to make soilders and spies) 2. is that in the game I had trouble getting past the second level. 3 is that I would have an army and then 1/2 would just become part of the other Kingdom and walk. I still like this game and with some minor improvments could be in my top 10. Seven Kingdoms is still worth your money.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great strategy game
7k2 is one of the best strategy games around. Unlike Age of kings and clones where you gather resources, build army, attack enemy, 7k2 involves careful planning. Maybe people who think this is too complicated tried to play this like their normal Aok & co game and didn't look after their men and didn't bother to use spies.

If you like games beyond the gather, build, destroy theme, you should definitely give 7k2 a try.

In addition to the beautiful graphics and great gameplay, the option to customize games to make for good replayability makes this an excellent buy.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best games I have played
I like Strategy games, I have played most of them, and this game is one og the best. Do people think it is complicated? Not really, once that you understand the basic concepts, you can have almost infinite variations on how to played: economically, using your spies, your population or simply your armies. Running out of people? then haven't learn how to play a strategy game, that's what strategy is, how best to use resources. Each one of your units is an individual, you get to know some of them , and with the time they gain skills, and would help you to win the game. Take care of them and you will be invencible, mistreat them, and another king will still it from you.

Then there's the heroes, this are supermen, that can handle many enemies at the time, they single handleded will beat un entire army.

Another very interesting concept is that althought at the beggining you control one race, you can gain the alegiance of other races, bringing new skills to your kingdom.

Finally, I can't forget to mention spies: train them or hire them, they will infiltrate your enemies, give you secrete information, or help you bribe general and his troops, and even some day they might become kings of other kingdom, and hand them over you.

If you are looking for a superior game experience, forget about aoe2 (boring), and give this one a try.
