In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, Aerys is portrayed by David Rintoul in a flashback scene.Īerys was a handsome young man, with purple eyes and gold-silver hair.


He was eventually killed by a member of his own Kingsguard, Ser Jaime Lannister, during Robert's Rebellion. His paranoia and cruelty grew out of control. His children that lived to adulthood, by his sister-wife, Rhaella, were Rhaegar, Viserys, and Daenerys Targaryen.Īerys showed great promise at the start of his reign, bringing peace and prosperity to the Seven Kingdoms, but later descended into insanity, caused by, amongst other factors, multiple miscarriages and stillbirths, the deaths of three sons, and a brief uprising known as the Defiance of Duskendale, in which he was held prisoner for half a year by a rebellious lord. In 283 AC , at the throne room of the Red Keep in King's LandingĪerys II Targaryen, also called the Mad King and King Scab, was the seventeenth and last member of the Targaryen dynasty to sit the Iron Throne, ruling from 262 AC to 283 AC. The high-skilled matches I've seen were often quite close, with troops divided to flank the enemy economy.Įven then, I consider the economy part important, making it a lot of fun to see if you can optimize your BO.King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men Your defenses and army will again have grown since your economy is still running and you can fight the left-over enemy troops. While that is indeed a risk, during a well played fight you deal a good blow to the enemy. Games where going like this: no rush buildup for half an hour or so, then declaration of war, the 2 armys met and the player who won the first and only skirmish was able to completly wreck the other guys economy for good. While the tactical element of the fighting was actually very good, the economy was way too fragile. The games where fun but if i remember correctly, the multiplayer suffered from some conceptual flaws. I even played a couple of lan games vs a friend. Jump back to quoted post, 11:22 AM alcoholic played this game back in the day and really liked it.

Here you can find the forums, a good shoutcaster and in his shoutcasts examples of the complex strategies that are possible (rushes, iron focused, and defensive). There are more open maps, or more closed, easily defendable maps. For the skilled people the 70 min PT, 2x speed. For the no rush fans there is the 90 min PT, 2,5x PT-speed and 2x speed afterwards. It has the charm of the original, but the functionality of a modern game and a decent active community. I would like to ask you all to try this awesome reworked game. The game did not receive a strong critical or popular reception in the UK and the US, but elsewhere it was more popular, consequently a follow up game was released called Knights and Merchants: The Peasants Rebellion. The player takes the role of the captain of the palace guards and leads the soldiers and citizens to victory. It was developed by Joymania Entertainment (since changed to Joymania Development) and published by TopWare Interactive in 1998. Knights and Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom is a medieval-time based real-time strategy (RTS) video game. Buying it there, will partly support this Fan-team that has made it possible to play K&M multiplayer like this. The game is found here, and requires the original Peasants Rebellion, buyable on the second link. The following game has been totally reworked by fans, it is made much more bugfree and it now supports high resolutions, ingame online game browser, dedicated servers, adjustable gamespeed and Peacetime, replay system, mapmaker.
