I really would like to play it but it constantly crashes on my win10 comp ;( + Very indepth and not a lighthearted RTS. I was chocked how much you can do in it. - Frequently crashes - Non existing animations allmost but they are also not needed - Cumbersome user interface

7KAA is a classic RTS with game concepts not seen in the genre before or since. I played this game 17+ years ago, and recently picked up a copy on Steam. What is it about this 1997/98 game that is so appealling? - Limited population. Manpower is a constant concern, and population growth is slow. Unlike other RTS where its simply a matter of gather resource and magically units are always produced at buildings by …

An overlooked classic shadowed by the simplistic RTS games of its era like Age of Empires. Espionage and diplomacy are just as important, if not more important here as sheer military prowess and economic gain. As someone who played this game since the very first Demo version, I can't do anything but whole heartedly recommend this classic. If you haven't tried it yet and you're willing to deal with the learning …

Came to this one late, played Seven Kingdoms 2 first. Without the nostalgia factor, it’s a bit harder to get into. The UI and graphics definitely show their age, and the pacing feels slow by today’s standards. That said, the mix of espionage, diplomacy, and economy is still pretty unique for an RTS. If you’re into older strategy games and can look past the super rough edges, there’s something here. …

I haven't found any other strategy game in the past 22 years, which is nearly as good as Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries. The gameplay is unbeatable so far and this depth of play is unique: intrigue and diplomacy, trade and industry, betrayal, espionage and conquest - all in one game and real-time. Back when Age of Empires and Command & Conquer conquered the game market. But none of them was nearly as good as …

93% of the 115 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries. The complaint that keeps coming up: frequent crashes on Windows 10. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a pretty good chance I'm going to like Knight of the Seven Kingdoms more than any of the other shows in the Game of Thrones universe. I loved the novellas—and the idea of watching actually decent-hearted characters you can root for as they navigate a savage world is my jam. What say you all?
positive · AI labelView post →I understand if people aren’t hyped for the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Game of Thrones show and maybe it’s good if people aren’t hyped because I’ve read them and they are best enjoyed as little stand alone adventures unconcerned with lore. It’s like if Xena took itself slightly more seriously.

neutral · AI labelView post →Dunk & Egg are a different breed of hero than what you'll find on Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a different breed of show, from the whistling-heavy soundtrack on down. What it has in common with its predecessors is that it's good as hell. (Gift link)
neutral · AI labelView post →The simple, straightforward buddy adventure of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms shows that smaller can be better in the world of Game of Thrones. My review:
neutral · AI labelView post →A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is brilliant because it dares to ask “what if we made a Game of Thrones series that isn’t mostly a grim and joyless slog?”
positive · AI labelView post →Always an honor to chat with Kim Renfro and David Chen about a new Game of Thrones show, and I can already tell that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is something special.
positive · AI labelView post →So, I hadn't watched *any* of the prequels to either Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, but @mementolori.bsky.social recommended A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS and boy howdy, does that show *deliver* 🖤

positive · AI labelView post →A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has such a good first season. You can tell the showrunners really care about these characters. (I wish Game of Thrones got that it’s last two season. 😪)

neutral · AI labelView post →The new Game of Thrones thingy (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) was genuinely terrific. Funny and exciting, warm and heartfelt... and you don't have to learn 384 family names and mottos to understand it. Plus, the big fight episode was SPECTACULAR. I can't wait for more.

neutral · AI labelView post →The moral earnestness of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" feels a lot more subversive than anything ever attempted in "Game of Thrones."
positive · AI labelView post →In true Game of Thrones style, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ended its first season with a low-key epilogue to the big action from the penultimate episode. My finale review:
neutral · AI labelView post →I like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms enough that I’ve broken out the Game of Thrones cookbook About to be a lot of lemon cakes in my houseeeee
positive · AI labelView post →I've always been a HUGE fan of Seven Kingdoms 2: Frythan Wars yet I never got the chance to play the original Seven Kingdoms Ancient Adversaries. I must say, as a classic games enthusiast (and a lover of 90's games) this well-polished strategy game is exactly what I would expect of a well done refurbished classic game. Want a comparison of what this is like? Take Age of Empires and merge it with Warcraft 2 and dash in the 4x-ness of Civilization. You're now probably wondering how these games…

positive · AI labelView post →I never watched Game of Thrones or its spinoffs, but I did watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms last week and really enjoyed it.
positive · AI labelView post →A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is Game of Thrones without the stakes, and that’s the best thing about it
positive · AI labelView post →I love this game. I started playing it as a child. When Windows XP came out, I was sad to see that Seven Kingdoms was not compatible. I would literally set up my families ancient desk top that ran windows 98 just to play this game. A few months ago, I got seven kingdoms 2 hoping it would be just as good as the original. Saddly many of the game mechanics were over symplified in the later edittion. Seven Kingdoms is an easy game to learn yet dificult to master. Because of complex underlying…

Now to be fair I don't know if Reddit is actually worse, because when I browse Reddit now it's while I'm logged out and via a browser (force old.reddit.com and OldLander extensions). So the site is A) harder to navigate than it used to be and B) my experience is less curated and I see more crap and C) because my experience is less curated I've lost access to many of the niche communities. As an example if I want to read some discussion…
