Released on 19th Feb, 2010, this game is developed by Slitherine Strategies. The game portrays the hundred year’s war between France and England in 14th and 16th centuries. The player is allowed to control 40 different units and tremendous armies of knights sitting on horsebacks, English archers, French crossbowmen etc. It’s a strategy game that allows the manipulation of hundreds of characters according to the player. Each unit out of 40 units can be customized for weapons and shields according to the historically correct data. The game includes 70 medieval battles and includes around 26 historical encounters. It can be played in any of the three modes which are: campaign mode, a skirmish mode or multiplayer mode. The skills are customizable, and there are around 100 such skills available. The historical framework is customizable too with the help of a ‘free form quest map’, which allows the player to choose ‘when’ and ‘where’ to fight. This further increases the ease of playing the game in a very personalized and customized way. For the capabilities of each platform in the game, the advanced graphics engine is optimized. 

The overall game provides a lot of flexibility to the player in choosing not only the characters, their dresses etc, but also the time of the war as well as the location of the war weapons, shields, modes etc.
