Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance

Birthright - The Gorgon's Alliance is a 1996 strategy computer game developed by Synergistic Software and distributed by Sierra On-Line. The game is based on the Birthright campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons and is available for DOS and Windows 95.

Players take on the role of ruler, or regent as they are called in Birthright, of a nation on the continent of Cerilia. The objective of the game is to gather power and influence while the other regents try the same.

In order to accomplish this objective, the player has many options at his disposal. These include warfare, diplomacy, magic, manipulation of holdings such as guilds and temples, the establishment of trade routes, etcetera. All of these actions take place in a turn based fashion on the world map, with the exception of the adventuring, which is done in real time 3D.
