I know there are some of you out there that play simulations on a variety of systems; from PC to PS3 and XBOX 360 so here's some news......

XIII Century Gold (PC game.....and that ain't "Politically Correct"!)


Product Description

The Gold Edition includes XIII: Death or Glory AND XIII Blood of Europe! Two awsome games for a great price! Death or Glory is an RTS game which immerses players in the Middle Ages. This is a world of noble nights and ruthless nomads, a world of courageous deeds and internal wars. As one of the famous military leaders of the 13th Century, gamers are able to test their steel against the neighboring nations and carve their names into history. Among the playable factions are the English, the French, the Mongols, the Germans and the Kievan Rus' (Russians). The game consists of 5 campaigns which cover the most well-known battles of that period. Features include large scale battles, thousands of units, and offers players a chance to test their skills as military leaders in midieval Europe! Blood of Europe is the sequel to Death or Glory. Its 1233 AD and Alexander Nevsky, the famous defender of ancient Rus' western borders, is long gone. Having licked their wounds after the Battle on the Ice, knights of the Teutonic Order are again leading their iron wedges to Pskov, a gem of the Northern Rus'. They are out for easy prey and loot. Dovmont, Prince of Pskov, is destined to become a new hope of these lands. Prepare to join his armed forece to win fame worthy of the memory of the Grand Prince Alexander! Enjoy historical battles of the Middle Ages here and now. Dovmont will lead his troops against German and Livonian knights and blood of many fearless warriors will spill in the upcoming skirmishes, recreated with all the historical details.
