There was another very similar flash game whose name I can’t remember, sidescroll topdown strategy set in like Roman-medieval era where there were trade caravans and town upgrades and the other factions launched armies of their own.

I do think one of the magic with these games is we were playing them when we didn't really know or think too much about min-maxing. We played them how we thought they should be played and that helped a lot with the balancing. As adults that is just so much harder to do.

[@jonathanoriley8260]

What's funny is that it's the opposite for me. When I was younger, I was better at min-maxing. Now I don't have much patience for it, because it feels like a needless hassle when all I'm trying to do is enjoy what little free time I have after work.

[@bobemor]

@@jonathanoriley8260 people certainly will have played differently, though I wonder to what extent it was you had so much time you almost naturally by trial and error min-maxed, rather than by conscious effort?

[@jonathanoriley8260]

@@bobemor I was a pedantic child that was playing video games since the age of 3 on my grandfather's desktop. My first real game was Command & Conquer Generals when I was just 6 y/o, followed by other RTS and Grand Strategy games like Rise of Nations and Civilization. Feudalism II was a game I found around that time (never played the first one, and I remember playing the third for like 10 minutes and hating it). Beyond that, idk why its confusing for you that a young kid would have a lot of time on their hands to play those kinds of games enough to figure them out. Children notoriously have a lot more free time for inconsequential things like video games than adults do, or at least when compared to adults who work for a living. I myself these days work 6 out of 7 days of the week, and my days off usually revolve around completing errands. I don't have anywhere close to the kind of time to play games like I used to as a kid.

[@bobemor]

@@jonathanoriley8260 ah I might have phrased my reply poorly. I was suggesting there might be a link between min-maxing and time available. Effectively we all ended up brute forcing optimal play eventually if we liked the game enough!

Another obscure fact about these games: several of the models for the towns and buildings within them seem to have been taken from or inspired by those in the early 2000s RTS game Cossacks: European Wars.

I think the problem with feudalism 3 and Warlords 3 is probably just a single guy (or a very small team) being pushed to their limits. I do wish a lot of these guys had gone on to produce their own commercial releases like with epic battle fantasy and rebuild, since both do have a place in the causal strategy game market.

Hadn't watched the video yet, but HOLY SHIT, YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS BASICALLY A MOUNT & BLADE! Never thought about Feudalism like that, but this fits perfectly and it actually explains why I was so obsessed with it as a child, since M&B is one of my favorite games of all time and Feudalism is like a really simplified version of it

Feudalism 1 and 2 were my favourite flash games as a child. Also magic/fantasy already existed as early as feudalism 2, the desert guys had a skill that threw meteors.

I guess you had cursed items in feudalism 1 to but still, The magic was subdued enough to not completely trash the world

[@Mutually_Assured_Destruction]

Greek fire, katar meteors, and potion spam

[@karmaakira4664]

I love this game and tbh, this is the game that made me learn and exploit meta units specially on Feudalism 2. It doesn't matter who your enemies are just buy a molotov and then equip it to your character to which it doesn't matter if your character has a throwing skill or not since it's too OP. Use the same molotov to capture the same city then hire the molotov troops and bam. Easy win even on the hardest difficulty. They are also incredibly cheap compared to those ninja that can one hit units but can die easily.

Oh man, you hit me right in the nostalgia. When I was a young kid, something like 10 to 12 years, i've played this game a lot, my brother and my friends to! With my brother, we always played and always ended with one man army. If I remember correctly hammer was the best for it. So we played most of the feudalism 1 i 2 without army! Only now i found out a third game, and i am 26 years old. And you know what was the best thing? We didn't understand any text in this error, becouse as a young childred, our skill in english was very bad (Im from Poland), so there was a lot of trial and error, but it was fun! I don't remember where we put our points, because as i said, we didn't know what it doing. Awesome game, awesome memories

This was one of my favourite flash games and mount and blade warband became one of my favourite games afterwards. They were really similar - to the point where I was unsure if one was trying to copy the other.

[@BrunoMaricFromZagreb]

I actually LIKED playing the 3rd game,& switching between a sorcery-based lightsaber and a M60.Just because it's a weird tone shift compared to the other 2 games doesn't make it bad (just look at Helldivers 1 vs Helldivers 2). The 3rd game is also the one I came closest to actually finishing,but the last 2 unconquered cities on the map are freaking invincible. And give praise to the devs for having the courage to ask "what if guns & magic co-existed?"...That's not something a lot of fantasy writers do.It's always just elves & dwarves going around killing giant animals in caves or forests. Also,HOLY SH!T,this was made by the same dude as Endless War!?I LOVED Endless War!

I remember this game back then the first few days I lost many troops but the moment I have access to the the black knights with white cross on their surcoats (I think they were Crusaders), I recruited and used Crusaders as my frontline troops, they slaughtered their ways and knock down towns after towns, they're overkill just like Swadian Knights in Warband, an army of 50 knights sweep through the field with little casualty.

You can cheese this game by investing everything into spirit and using the spell that consumes your hp to damage everyone on the field and spam potions, the lower your constitution the best since the spell consumes a % of your hp and the potions heal flat values so one small potion can fully heal you while destroying everything in the game.

Honestly they should have made it that Strength determines how hard you hit with melee and if you are able to handle the weapon in the first place both melee and range.
