The Kings' Crusade

I gave this game a good go, but it crashes constantly even with patches and is rife with graphical bugs. A shame.

[h1][i]“Ready my knights for battle. They will ride with their king once more.”[/i] ~Excalibur (1981)[/h1] [b]NeocoreGames[/b] won. With their very first game, [b]Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come[/b], they managed to convince [b]Paradox[/b] (their publisher) that their dream project, [b]King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame[/b], could work. Long story short – [b]Neocore[/b] was working on that epic-scale mix between tactical strategy and an RPG, but [b]Paradox[/b] wasn't sure about the RPG aspect and wanted a pure strategy game. [b]Neocore[/b] agreed to that ([b]Crusaders[/b] was pretty much yet another [b]Braveheart[/b] / [b]Total War[/b] variant), but also threw in some elements they wanted to see in [b]King Arthur[/b] as a proof of concept. It worked. I mean, sure, [b]Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come[/b] was anything but perfect and, like I said, in many ways it was a proof-of-concept thing ([b]Paradox[/b] only gave [b]Neocore[/b] a year to finish it, while our guys worked with their own in-house engine), but still, despite all the troubles, [b]Crusaders[/b] succeed and only a few months later [b]King Arthur[/b] (development of which actually started before the [b]Crusaders[/b]) finally…

I purchased this game twice, but run in error. I played this way back in 2011. This game is great. However it's crashes. I hope that the developer will fix it.

It's a good game, but it keeps crashing, even after the patch.

I had to use a mod on the exe to get it to run, but I'm really having fun with the game.
