    Default Ancestors – a medieval strategy game

    Could this be a serious contender to the Total War series?





    Take command of your army as you storm through medieval Europe in an extensive series of campaigns. Choosing one of the four available nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, Slav – you will be tasked with more than just conquering, raiding and pillaging enemy camps, villages and towns. Only by utilizing the full range of available tactical options, taking strategic advantage of the environment, and managing your temporary bases and settlements, will you emerge victorious.

    Ancestors is a historically accurate real-time strategy game influenced by historical events in the Middle Ages. The game combines resource management and base building with large-scale, squad-based battles across vast battlefields, all rendered in great detail thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 tech. Experience medieval bloodshed like never before, thanks to the cinematic action camera that puts you right in the middle of the battle at the press of a button.

    Wow!
    Many thanks for making aware of this title ... your thread completely overseen due to not explainable reason.

    Just watched the Steam page, and afterwards put on my wishlist.
    Would want that right now to play instantly.

    Rightwingers, like in the past the epitome of incompetence, except for evilness where they own the mastership.
    Iirc., already 2013 i spoke of "Renaissance of Fascism", it was accurate.

    This sounds like a cheesy console game.

    Sail your ship as part of a fleet. Devs previously worked on: Darthmod, World of Warplanes, World of Tanks, RaceRoom, IL2-Sturmovik, Metro, STALKER and many other great games..

    So? Why? (Care to explain?)

    The trailer at least looks like an artful development, quasi in the style of the film '300' ... hope the style is actually at least slightly realised ingame, and what i saw is at least impressing and promises entertainment related to the Viking Age theme (i'm a complete fan of this period). It's strategy map mode with battle mode (yes, there like Total War series), based on Unreal Engine 4 which is kinda promising.
    And description and pics sound/look promising, to me at least. And in my impression, seems to have a new game-style approach in some aspects.
    Somehow the trailer even had sth. from the darkness and expression of The Witcher for me.
    All that together was able to hype me instantly

    But sure, i'll investigate deeper before i get it, as it certainly will be an expensive purchasement, in my expectation at least along the announcement/advertisement content.
    Just fe. if it entirely fails regarding realism gameplay aspects, then it is not for me.
