Desert Safari- a thrilling experience mixed with cultural insights on the Golden Dunes

The Emirate of Dubai is a sprawling urban oasis that has risen from the golden sands of the Arabian desert to become one of the most popular destinations in the world.

Available peasants automatically choose jobs whenever a building requires one, so player micromanagement is minimal, he mostly needs to set up the various buildings in an efficient way while providing safety for his peasants. Military units are directly controlled individually or in groups, sometimes quite large with sieges or battles involving many hundreds on each side. One welcome addition to the original stronghold is the inclusion of estates, that a player can “buy” with his accumulated honor (gained by popularity, holding feasts, dances, jousting, etc.). Estates are semi-independent villages (without castle fortifications) that produce their own goods that the owner can send through carts to his castle or his allies.
