With sophisticated RPG elements, individual Heroes, stunning graphics and easy controls, The Golden Horde offers the perfect exotic setting for a real-time strategy game in the early middle ages of Europe and Asia.Season, weather conditions and landscape play a big role, which could help a weaker side defeat a stronger enemy There are seas and lakes, rivers and swamps, adding a new dimension to the battlefield tactics A large number of traps are available, as well as multiple ways to use them. Those include the use of explosives and fire against enemy fortifications Supports Chrome, Bump mappings, Specular, Shadow map. Buildings, walls, trees etc. are governed by true-to-life physics.
