Are you ready to become a Chieftain?
Create armies, settlers and builders to conquer the world map.
Build farms, villages, lumberyards and iron mines for resources, or create a web of alliances and enemies to conquer them from others.
Recruit different types of troop, everything from peasants to musketmen; each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
The time will come to fight battles. When a battle is initiated, the game switches to Battle mode - and your troops appear on a battle map awaiting your orders.
Use tactics to your advantage, use swift moving cavalry to attack your enemy from the rear, or cheap disposable peasants to keep your enemy occupied while you deal with their bowmen.
Be careful! Once your troops are engaged in melee it will be hard to disengage them.
Just like a real battle, your soldiers can become tired (dropping their speed), or become overwhelmed with fear, forcing them to flee the battlefield.
The worlds in Chieftain are made up of scores of nations from 7 distinct races.
Humans have inhabited these lands since days immemorial.
Goblins are an evil, hunchbacked race of demons.
The Kioha are a tribe of undead, spawns from the nethers of Hell.
Freyja are an odd entity originally from the snow-lands.
Draco are cold-hearted lizard-serpents.
A race of beasts of burden, the Vacca are tough warriors.
Cunning and sly, the Lupin are a wolf-like creature.

Man, I'm sorry. I HATE to do this because it's such a neat game, kind of a Civ Lite. Battle resolution needs a TON of work. Outnumbered *peasants* defeated my knights. And when the battle was down to my 87 troops to the enemy's (fleeing) 5, I clicked auto-resolve to get it over with -- and LOST. Please fix the battle resolution. It's just plain bad.1 found this helpful

Nothing to do
Okay but its sometimes sluggish and repetative. GET IT ON SALE RATING 7/10
Decent game. It is essentially a combination of Civilization and Total War, though not as good as either. I encountered a few problems with the controls (UI elements being unresponsive to the mouse, mainly, though the camera controls in the battle sequences are awful), and the AI is not good (dumb as dirt on the overworld, always reacts the same in battles, etc.). Still, despite these shortcomings, I feel like this is a pretty okay game, especially if you grab it during a sale. I love 4X games, so I am willing to overlook some flaws, and I like the random worlds/factions and fantasy themes/races a lot. If you are not so much a fan of strategy games, this game will not change your opinion. I recommend it to others who like the genre.
When I first got this game I played it for like 3 hours and never played again until recently because it was too hard for me to play (probably cause I didn't understand how to do stuff properly). But since playing recently I actually really like it! It's fun and can be frustrating at times because of the AI, but it's cool to see your faction that you made thrive and dominate the other factions. Although there are a few things I don't like such as having to look around the map for factions that declared war on you and also the AI for declaring war on you even though they are weak and on the opposite end of the map from you. Overall it's a fun and interesting game for only 5 bucks.
