Reincarnate yourself as a mysterious hero summoned from another time on the distant planet of Teya. Confront the tyrannous God-Emperors and discover the lurking threat to humanity’s very existence.
For many years, Rome prospered in peace and serenity. But dark shadows of the past ascended on distant borders. The young leader of the Vikings invaded the lands of the Empire to avenge his father. Now mature son of General Victorius, Markus, is leading the troops toward danger, and despite all the admonishments of his lover, leaves her back in Rome.
A huge army of black knights, witches and giants approaches his lands corrupting everything in its path. Ragnar calls his friends to arms and moves out to fight the evil to end this struggle once and for all.
In ancient, glorious times, the Roman Empire was actively expanding its borders. To conquer the northern lands, Caesar sent General Flavius to the British Isles where the Roman Army set out to subdue the proud Celtic people.
Adventure continues! Fearless General Flavius with his detachment cleared the land of Britons from filth. However, it was not enough. The source of evil itself. To this end, the Romans went on a perilous journey through the portal between the worlds. What awaits them ahead? It is up to you!

Hey Wrascally Wabbit,
Sorry for being late to the party. It's been pretty hectic around here.
But I did get a chance to check out the game. I am not a big fan of TM games but Qumaron Is one of the few Devs that does it right. Finally, a relaxed mode. That's a big thumbs up. Thank you for listening to users. I avoid TM games because they always make me feel pressured instead of relaxing.
Anyways I didn't have a lot of time but i did check out a few of the Qumaron games on Steam and added them to my wish list too.
Thanks to GGOTD for the game and a big welcome to Qumaron and thanks for the review, Wabbit.
Huggles to the family and you.

delenn13, This was given away directly from the developer instead of via MPC, so no adverts. Though I didn't use the giveaway version except to see if there were any differences between iot and the Steam version .I don't usually purchase TM games, but I did buy Northern Tale. Can't remember why now. On replaying it i did find it much better than the usual TM game due to the lack of a time constraint. I was getting three stars for every level I completed and though, Hmmm! this is very unusual as I rarely get three stars when playing TM games. Usually I barely even get one star, then realised it was because I'd chosen the relaxed mode, lol.
Thanks for posting and I hope your hubby is on his way to a full recovery. Have a great week, Stephen

After reading about the possible difficulties finding the game after installation, I just installed it to my own folder, i.e. C:/Games/Northern Tale. (They clearly give you the option of deciding where it will be installed.) My computer is Win 7 Pro, 64b. I just checked, and the game is there, and it is fully functional. I don't have time to play it fully right now, but the graphics are great, and it looks like fun. Thanks so much, GAOTD and thanks also and a welcome to Qumaron!

Looked at the reviews on Steam and the Big Fish homepage, not the forum page that WR linked to. All 3 are legitimate places to look for reviews. On Steam, only 1 negative review out of 24; and only a couple, without much insight, on the Big Fish homepage. So, very well reviewed. The consensus is: this may not be for folks who really want to test their clicking or instantaneous decision speeds. It's not speed chess. This one leans toward the relaxed player and is more about strategic planning and juggling alternatives.

Installed and runs fine, Win7/64. Good solid TRM with few surprises if you've played them before. Challenging enough for experienced players, easy enough for beginners. It's a keeper for me.

I bought the whole series of this game and am replaying one of them right now. I love them all and there's no reason to suggest any improvements, IMO. They are all playable as you don't have to have the reflexes of an 18 year old to get gold. Sometimes strategy, sometimes upgrading buildings and sometime collecting enough resources will win the day.
I lose interest in a game if getting gold takes replaying a level 20 times (ie - Viking Brothers 3 Collector edition). You don't have to do that with these games using a bit of strategy. I would recommend 1 and 2 to beginner TM enthusiasts. Also, the Royal Envoy series is good for beginners.

Looking at the developer's site I see that they have quite a few of the old Realore Studio games available, including Northern Tale. several of these were given away in the early days of the Giveaway project, and I would like to get some of them again as I enjoyed them at the time but no longer have them available. So, Qumaron, thanks for coming on board.

I love TM games like this. I've bought every Northern Tale game, 1 through 4, and play them over and over. Glad to see this developer here!

This game installs with a self-extracting utility and doesn't create any icons for you.
It wants to install in a c:\games directory - which is okay - you can change it. Whatever directory you choose - afterwards go to that directory - you will find a sub-directory named Northern Tale1 and a file NorthernTale.exe - right click on NorthernTale.exe - click on Send To - Click on Desktop (Create Shortcut).
(Or use the create shortcut option - in which case Windows will ask if you want to create it on the desktop.)
Thereafter you're good to play :-)
Thank you, I have Northern Tale 4 and I look forward to playing this one too.

Info, So do you have to install the games directory for this to install this game? I don't want any of those.
Thanks!

Jeffrey K Benham,
No, That directory is just where it wanted to install this game - it doesn't install extras.
Save | Cancel
Info, Thanks. I downloaded, installed and activated the game and it is nowhere to be found. No desktop shortcut icon, not on the Microsoft directory and not in Systems. The only thing that shows up are the unzipped files. The software informer, doesn't seem to want to install.

Jeffrey K Benham,
Look for it under Local Directory / Games - then follow the instructions as I gave them.
Software Informer is an optional product - from this site - ignore that bit.

Info, Got it, thanks! It needs to be played in Window mode, but that's okay.

Jeffrey K Benham,
If you can only play it in window mode, you can increase the size of the window by changing the screen resolution to a smaller resolution. Each resolution down will increase the size of the window slightly. When you're done, change it back to your usual resolution. I've done this with some marble games I purchased years ago, that were sold as PC games, but were in fact early android games and the screen size was so small on my usual resolution I could hardly see the marble I was rolling (they took up about an eight of the screen area), so I used to decrease the resolution to the lowest my monitor would allow which was 800 x 600. That increased the size of the games window to about half the monitors area (it didn't have a full screen option).

Whiterabbit-uk, I have done that with other games. The size of this window is really pretty big. My Alex Gordon game is unplayable because the window is so small. Thanks!

"Good Job!!" I have loved this game since it was first given away and have the rest in the series. It's a fun time time management game and very positive and affirmative too :)

Helen, Thanks for your comment Helen, though i don't remember it being given away here previously?

Whiterabbit-uk,
It was a very long time ago, my memory is bad but I think it was more than 6 years back.

Helen, Mine too,
I was involved in a really bad road traffic accident almost 15 years ago (totally the other persons fault) that left me with four broken vertebrae (I lost almost 4 inches in height) and a serious head injury that left me with some brain damage (thankfully I can still think, but my memory was affected). I was sent home from the A&E dept with a diagnosis of a sprain and bruising; and was left to recover with no treatment. It took me a year before my GP sent me to a spinal specialist and 7 years before the head injury was diagnosed, and only then because of a friend I made through this site who was a pharmacist and who suggested I pursue help.. :) ''Thanks David RIP''
I'll look through the list of game giveaways as I have access to the admin panel, which lists every single giveaway since the site opened Dec 2006.
edit: couldn't find it anywhere in the game section, however, for several weeks back in 2008 the giveaway side of the project started giving away games again until the game giveaway site reopened for weekends only. Maybe it was given away then? Don't know when the game was actually released though.
