Die Erben des Throns: Krieg um die Krone II

After many years of bitter fighting, a young baron had finally managed to be elected king. He is now ruler of a land freed from fear and terror. The king rules with gentleness and wisdom and his subjects are kind to him. He united all the countries of the continent into one strong empire. With the help of his army he has made the barons of the continents his subjects. But the barons were very angry about their fate and plotted revenge. One dark night, a hired assassin kills the king and his castle is destroyed by a terrible fire. The barons prepare for battle to regain power in the country. Men loyal to the king are killed or expelled from the country. The formerly disempowered lords rule again. But the rightful heir to the throne, the brother of the dead king, is expected back from the holy land. Now a new, cruel war is approaching the continent.

Die Erben des Throns: Krieg um die Krone II is a German strategy game comparable to Risk and is intended for one to four players. The players take on the role of the rebellious barons and the computer controls those faithful to the king. When starting a new game there is first an option to replace the current settings. Then the players need to enter their name, coat of arms and its color. After designing the game continent they can now choose their home province. Each round starts with farmers paying their taxes to the players. Each player can now make the choice if they want to attack provinces, move their army, recruit new soldiers, acquire villages, build fortifications or save money.

This was the original version that was exclusive for the C64. Two or three years later it was released for various other systems. GDG also then published an updated version for the C64.
