About Tzar: The Burden of the Crown
Tzar: The Burden of the Crown is an RTS classic by Haemimont Games, originally released in 2000
A sinister evil has come to the peaceful kingdom of Keanor, a land of beauty, mystery and magic. The Palace lies in ruins as armies of malevolent warriors sweep through the countryside while the once-proud Imperial Guard cowers in fear. The citizens of Keanor flee their homes in terror, praying for the rise of the one true leader who, it was foretold, would lead them against the armies of darkness. Are you the hero they seek?
Tzar puts you at the heart of the battle of good versus evil. Set in the real-time fantasy world of Keanor, where the sword is the law of the land, it is up to you to stop the armies of evil. Recruit, train and command vast armies of Knights and Archers, and build fantastic weapons to smash enemy defenses. Train your Wizards to unleash their arcane powers against your foes, or conjure mighty Dragons, Jinni, and Undead to do your bidding. Can you carry the burden of the crown?

This game has one of the hardest campaigns and offers many different strategic options. Units have hidden bonuses against certain types of units: for example, priests can kill a stone golem in few shots, while mages can hit priests harder. This is also why spearmen are so defensive against archer towers. Thanks to mods, you can play the game in high resolution and in one of nine different languages (at least it works in Windows 10 and earlier versions). Version 1.10 provided new issue with duplicating colors in the map settings menu, but some older issues have been fixed. However, some still exist, such as the game not clearing the hit boxes after a unit dies, leaving an invisible tiles that cannot be passed, which often happens on bridges, as well as pathfinding issues. Overall, you can engage in many epic battles here, make your units overpowered without the need for cheats or be destroyed fairly quickly. There's even a Deathmatch option against computer players for those who are truly masochistic. :D BTW, after many years, we also have a translation of Tzar: Anthology, which offers four new campaigns.1 found this helpful
Tzar: The Burden of the Crown was a great game. Unfortunately, it does not seem to run reliably on Windows 11 and tends to crash often.1 found this helpful
