Vedelem: The Golden Horde is a fun real time strategy (RTS) game where you and your peasant army fight off the Mongol hordes.

You need to gather as much of the limited local resources as you can, to build up your military and your keep.

Also, you should level up your military academy to get better units (because, let's face it, my half-trained peasant army just wasn't very good, and needed to be replaced by some professional soldiers).
A good tactic is to put up some walls around your keep to protect it; if your keep falls, you lose the game. (C'mon, let's build that wall!)

So far, I've done well in the easier games, but have come a cropper in the harder games, so I need to start developing some better strategies.
The Asian hordes overran my puny empire easily (following which I was beheaded in the market square - it was not a fun event; I was hoping for some more time with my peasant dancing girls - but, sadly, that was not to be).

If you like RTS games, then I suggest that you give this one a try.
Lord knows, I need all the allies I can get, to help fight the Golden Horde (or, at least, to avenge my much-lamented death).

Oh, and did I mention that it's free?
So, what's stopping you? Get in there and try it out.



Update:
I think the "Hard" game mode should be re-named "Nearly Freaking Impossible" mode.
However, it can be done (although not by myself, as yet).
