Inspired by Ultima(?): Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome

Following on the heels of yesterday’s addition of DARGHUL to the site, I’ve also added a new project entry for Wolf Mittag’s other RPG, Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome, which a historical RPG set in ancient Germania.

Its central plot concerns a Germanic tribe split between into two factions. One, led by the titular Teudogar, wants to form an allinance with Rome, whereas the other — led by someone called Ortwin — desires to preserve the tribe’s independence. The player has the option to side with either, and will also be faced with many other pivotal decisions, all of which combine to resolve the game in different ways.

Teudogar, unlike DARGHUL and Ultima 7, is not an open-world game, but is rather constructed from a series of areas. This is, as the author explains, largely a function of the game’s historical nature; ancient Germania was comprised of settlements separated by wide expanses of uninteresting forest and swamp, so the location/map-based approach worked better to keep the game’s plot moving along.

Links to downloads of the game’s demo can be found at the project entry; the full version of the game retails for [price], and can be purchased from the Teudogar website.

    I attempted to run the Teudogar demo, however it unfortunately crashes hard in Windows 8. Hopefully they’ll update it with Win8 support in the near future.
