King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame Media

Neocore Games has released new screenshots, new wallpapers, and the first developer diary for their ambitious strategy/RPG crossbreed, King Arthur: The Role-playing Wargame. Since the official website is entirely Flash-based, the best I can do is link you to the intro page and you’ll have to navigate from there. I’ll at least leave you with some background info, though:

Fulfill your destiny and unite the warring provinces of the land. Recruit fabled knights to your ROund Table: send them to adventures or battles, let them gather knowledge and artifacts, see how they become the most powerful heroes of the realm. Bulid the majestic Camelot and govern your growing realm wisely, but beware: there will be enemies, both mortal and otherworldly that will try to destroy you. Send thousands of warriors to the spectacular battlefields of the legendary Brittania; battle with knights and monsters, see how the faeries and saints set against wizards and evil knights.

Every decision you make will determine your Morality as a king. Create your own legend – be a rightful ruler or ruthless monarch, either a Christian or a pagan king… and face your own destiny at the end.

King Arthur is based on the rich mythology of the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon legends that inspired many artists in the past, from J.R.R. Tolkien to the modern masters of fantasy, but at the same time it has a unique and innovative approach to its chosen background.
