Gaming History: Seven Kingdoms Ancient Adversaries “The Real Time Strategy (RTS) evolved”

[@Hakka_Charlie]

This was one of the most underrated RTS games...over shadowed by age of empires which was released around the same time. But the depth was amazing! Can train and upskill people, do trading etc. Way ahead of its time...

[@熊掌波清波]

can't agree more. It is my first game. I was amazed by its complicity and dynamic economic system. My first loss was selling my throne to AI because I don't know what the word "throne" means until I saw the picture of bodies scattered all over. This revolutionary game was far ahead of its age and it is a real shame that it was shadowed by Red alert and age of empire.

[@NatiuneaJucatoare]

This game is so much fun to play, and the soundtrack is amazing.

[@tugrulserhat]

back when video games were actual art yeah. now you can't find soundtrack anywhere near this good on any game

[@thesacredlobo]

@@tugrulserhat - And that soundtrack is why almost every video I make for this game gets hit with a copyright claim. They don't block the video, but they do put ads on them.

[@marvinmarvin6672]

Kids will never know how much fun these games were and addicting

[@executorSGL]

I have never stop playing this game. Still playing this game from time to time since the beginning.

[@Nesseris]

This is such a great game. I still play it sometimes since.. 13 years. Sheesh

[@thesacredlobo]

Yeah, I've been playing it rather regularly as of late.

[@bench-xpre55]

It's for less than a dollar on Steam.

[@szilardfineascovasa6144]

1997 first time, 2022 as of writing this. And sometimes, very rarely indeed, the AI still smashes me into oblivion. Some unexpected string of kingdoms surrendering to each other...and...it hurts to cede defeat!

[@patrickpopa2243]

This game really takes me back down memory lane and it will always have a special place in my heart. Me and my brother still remember those villager sounds after all these years and have become our own code :)

[@SolitudeWrath]

Onka onka onk

[@casbahowl8128]

I loved how you could train your troops up as much as you wanted. Wish more games were like that

[@Gothos]

I still remember unit sounds after how many years.

[@HoneyBadger1779]

I figured out how the AI makes it past the map filter. It puts spies in neutral villages where you have a fort, waits a few months, then infiltrates the fort from the nearby village because the travel time is near instant. Hence, you likely don't see it. II didn't have water and boats which made the game feel empty.

[@tugrulserhat]

they added some more races to this game after release right ? I remember playing a version of it so long ago and not having egyptians, mughuls and zulus in the game

[@gustavopramos]

Yes. The original version was only called "Seven Kingdoms", while the one with added races is "Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries".

[@jannadark8100]

I completely forgot about this little gem and then saw Retroist bundle on steam sale with this game included. Happy to get it for cheap, this is a must have game if you collect old classics.

[@lrmcatspaw1]

My favorite mode to play this was to split villages once you got 50-60 people and grow my kingdom to the point where the enemies would surrender :D.

[@thesacredlobo]

I don't think I've ever seen that happen. I know it's possible to buy up AI kingdoms on lower difficulty settings, but I usually find it near impossible to do that when the AI is at the highest setting.

[@Leben722]

i played so much rounds and yes the enemy "KI" can delete your spys

[@NightpireVideos]

The game is amazing, it brings aspects like spionage other games have forgotten. You could also attempt to steal money or technologies as far as I know

[@thesacredlobo]

Yeah, spies can be highly useful in this game, but getting them into the right position to abuse any of their abilities is rather difficult. So much so that I tend to favor military conquest as a method of destroying enemies.

[@andylowe8870]

I remember getting this game on a demo disk (possibly pc format) My friend and I loved this game

[@ravagekillz]

Focus on making cannons (III) and you are undefeateble XD

[@thesacredlobo]

Catapults are a good option to since they also get splash damage and can be researched immediately.

[@ravagekillz]

@@thesacredlobo going to try that right now :P

GaminGHD keep up the good work man. I love hearing your take on these old games

[@GaminGHD]

:)

[@otto.x5328]

After all these years I still don't understand why killing an enemy camel causes you to lose a whole fucking 10 reputation points -_-

[@thesacredlobo]

Well, my best educated guess is that a caravan is meant to represent 10 citizens. Which is rather strange considering your population doesn't appear to decrease any when you make a caravan.

[@Ricktofenable]

jezzz man i love your voice, thatnks for this video! i used to love this game when i was a kid!

[@RolandTemplar]

Was too ahead for its time, and sequel is even better, too bad Will not have a remake, and no indie de team inspire in this one

[@sher-lm6rx]

What a nostalgia 😌

[@theverminmediaareyourenemi5612]

This game blew my mind, especially how it realistically depicted immigration..there would be tension..and the spies...no game ever took on espionage like this.....only thing I didn't like were the monster races. Not sure if it was only in #2 where you could set all Human opponents,

[@thesacredlobo]

You can set Fryhtans in this game to none, defensive, and offensive.

[@drixelv6957]

Este fué mi primer rts junto con el Knights and Merchants. Nunca vi tutoriales xq era chico y con los años le agarre la practica hasta que podia pasar algunos escenarios. Encima el ingles no lo tengo de todo entendido pero en la practica consegui para entender el juego. Nunca supe como el enemigo por más que yo tuviera una buena reputación y demas me robara mis soldados. Hasta teniendo el mismo tamaño de ejercito pasaba eso. La mecánica mas divertida son los espias. Para no entrar en guerra, podias comprar al general y cuando saliensen del fuerte los reclamabas jajajaja y asesinar al rey ufff

[@bench-xpre55]

Ji Janab! Hamla karo!!!!

[@pallavis6980]

m suching for this game since five years

[@bench-xpre55]

It's available on Steam & I paid around 50 rupees for it.

[@hdckdsadd]

when you were 14, there were original games for sale in Romania?

[@unacomn]

Yes. Speed Busters! Well, and Deus Ex, and quite a few more. You could buy original games since the late '90s in certain cities. And by the early '00 they were available in a lot more places.

[@Acacius1992]

Damn I remember playing this came back as a Kid.... And found out today it is on Steam! So I buy it imedientl! :D Hope it is still amazing as it was back then x3

[@DudeWatIsThis]

I came to this video without knowing that 7 Kingdoms applied to anything else apart from this game. The best strategy game ever made, along with Warcraft 3.

[@Mikaflyd]

Where could i find a mac version of this game??? Please

[@Mikaflyd]

I have this game running on my mac, its awesome 👏, if i was home id be able to tell you the program name that allows it to happen, but sadly im not. You can search how to run it on a mac though, and it works pretty smooth.

[@mieszkogulinski168]

@@Mikaflyd to everyone wanting to play this on Mac: you can try Wine

[@thesacredlobo]

Never mind. Apparently I should have waited until after the 14 minute mark to make my comment, but I figured you'd have discussed the ability to convert people to your side by giving them jobs when you were discussing the ability to lower their resistance through generals of the same nationality or utilizing spies in order to lower their resistance to your rule.

[@PESHOPIKATA]

great channel so underrated,hope that gets fixed in future ,keep it up!

[@iamLI3]

awesome review

[@douglaura2652]

Played the shit out of this when i was younger!

[@mermeoth7178]

This is most likely the oldest game I get back to from time to time.

[@mathieuvart]

this game was amazing

[@icelblau]

Does the App exists????

[@bench-xpre55]

Check it on Steam. They have it for very very cheap.

[@martinaltamirano7587]

si habre pasado largas horas jugandolo, en su momento me parecia mucho mejor que el AOE, estaria bueno ver version remasterizada

[@searaider2571]

Great game! :)

[@tubey84]

Sensational game, but a ridiculously easy AI to exploit.

[@thesacredlobo]

True. One my favorite tactics is to centralize all of my villages and military forces. That way I can surround the AI's small waves of troops with superior numbers. Of course, you can also blow up the target of an AI attack in order to get them to back down as well.

[@adhaman1]

Samusng hatai, kaleto

[@thebanished87]

da fratelo dar... capitalismul e misto! Vrei sa ne intoarcem la comunism? Ceplm?

[@geraq0]

Dude the gameplay footage is absolutely terrible, the player puts peasants in forts instead of training soldiers, puts generals in forts next to towns of the wrong nationality, leaves soldiers surrounded to be killed, executes worthy immigrants for no reason, promotes incompetent soldiers for no reason, leaves forts unattended, mixes different nationalities in the same town, infiltrates spies on towns of the wrong nationality, and probably more I missed out. Also spies can be trained to be soldiers, they don't need to hope to be recruited as soldiers by the rival kingdom. And also, you can't put your goods in foreign markets, they have to do it themselves by buying your products from your market with their caravans, or you could just build your own market next to their city and supply it with goods to compete with the local market. Combat being simplistic is not a bad thing by itself considering how many more things the player has to keep in mind in this game. Battles can be really fun when two large armies collide and you try to keep your generals alive while trying to kill the enemy generals and avoiding to be surrounded, ambushed, or betrayed by another kingdom, while trying to keep up with all the other aspects of handling your kingdom and looking out for enemy spies. This game had an amazing depth for all its simple mechanics.

[@GaminGHD]

It had been 12 years since I last played it. And I was blindfolded.

[@kacpadestro8086]

Hates capitalisms , likes collecting money for reviewiews please choose one

[@nachfullbarertrank5230]

i chose that you have brain damage

I've always thought this was one of those games people pretend to like.

[@DRsideburns]

I wonder why you accept payment for reviews if you dont like capitalism

[@unacomn]

For the same reason I like being warm in the winter, but I don't like being set on fire.

[@nv3796]

Trevor Chan made a game 'Communism'. It's so silly no one knows it :P
