The flags, which represent a heroic quest, confer gold on the hero who collects them. This method of indirectly controlling your units, while a novel approach, may frustrate some players. Thankfully, magical guilds offer spells for your use. Some spells heal your forces and others attack your foes, but none of them come cheap. Each hero thinks for itself - creating complex interactions between the characters, monsters, and other game elements.
Some monsters are friendly, while others attack anything in sight.
Many kinds of heroes, not all of them human, populate your realm, each with vastly different abilities. The secret to success in Majesty lies in learning these largely undocumented interactions and using them to your benefit. You also can't rotate your view of the kingdom, which often makes it impossible to employ direct spells against foes hiding behind a building's north face. The read-me file promises the availability of downloadable quests, but we found only PC versions. Majesty is a unique game that blends two genres fairly successfully.
