Power Monger

Overview

Real-time simulation fans prepare...Power Monger from Electronic Arts for the Sega Genesis is a control freak's Valhalla. Designed by the same crew that did Populous, this title will take you beyond simple resource management. You, armed only with your divine right to rule and a handful of loyal followers, will take on 195 territories and convince or coerce them to submit. Your followers will do battle against petty warlords in an attempt to unite all lands under their rightful king...you.

Unlike simple war sims, Power Monger gives you the opportunity to win a Settlement's hearts, minds and future efforts through word and deed, as well as battle. You'll mine resources, create new inventions (gee, I'm outnumbered. Wouldn't a cannon be nice?), send out spies, form alliances, set up trade and generally act like a king. Power Monger's menu is easy to use and offers a terrific number of choices, including Help Windows if you get lost or don't understand a command. For the truly brave or crazy there's even a choice setting to play Random Lands. This land may be easy, tough or insanely difficult at random. So what'll it be? Are you going to lead your followers to glory or foolish destruction? It's all up to you, Oh Great Power Monger.
