So the story begins. Gemfire is a solid game that both looks and plays beautifully. The game is a typical strategy game, where the aim is to defeat all the regions by any means nessecary. You will appoint an advisor at the beginning of the game, and allthough the advisor comes in handy from time to time, it is ultimately up to you to do everything you need to succeed.
You will also be helped by one of the six wizards, and each one is different in both strength and type of attack. As for the actual battles, KOEI made a nice addition to this game.
You no longer have to vanquish all the enemy forces to win the battle, it is enough to capture the enemy base.
This means that it is extremely important to defend you base, and this is where fences come in handy. Infantry soldiers have the ability to build fences to slow down the enemy building fences is difficult, so don't give up if your soldier don't succeed the first time. Another nice thing is that you get different bonuses depending on how you attack an enemy unit. This goes for frontal, flanking and rear attacks, but also for projectile weaponry.
Graphically this game is marvellous, and each unit has their own unique fighting animations. Uploaded by archivologist on July 21, Internet Archive's 25th Anniversary Logo.

Naval landings can't be done in the game which is a pity as it would make things far more interesting even as far back as the middle ages there were naval landings such as the invasion of Korea by Japan so provinces 4,8 and 26 can be used as simply provinces that get their agriculture developed and can send stuff to frontline provinces.
The overworld map should look familiar; it's essentially the UK. Just look at a map of the UK and you'll see the connection. Province 8 is basically Northern Ireland, provinces 9, 15, 14 and 13 are basically Wales 14 is even called Cardyf like the real Welsh city called Cardiff.
Province 28 is called Celsea like Chelsea which is a part of London and you guessed it, London is in the southeast of England. Kinda like Lords of Magic the story calls for the families to unite to take down the evil King Eselred but instead they fight among themselves.
In all scenarios the most powerful rulers are Erin and Ander in the north and Eselred in the southeast. You can only choose between 4 families in any given scenario and Lankshire Eselred's family and what do you know, another thing that sounds like a real place in the UK is never one of them.
Jorge -1 point DOS version. Good for snes -1 point DOS version. Had better graphics for snes. Plus you need to run the battles and other slow parts at abut 3x fast forward.
