Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a strategy game without base construction, resource gathering, or unit management
- Players who want direct control of the entire army in every mode, since Domination limits army control
- Players looking for a small-scale game with few unit or building options
Our take on Orders Of The Ruler
Players may hit a wall when using the Orders system, because abilities require faith gathered by Monks and become available through base upgrades. Domination adds another constraint: army control is limited, so players must manage purchases, unit merging, resource points, and the central objective.
What is Orders Of The Ruler?
Orders Of The Ruler is a medieval real-time strategy game about building bases, managing resources, and commanding forces in battle.
Workers cut trees, plow fields, mine ore, and construct buildings, while farms produce food for soldiers, peasants, and the ruler. Players can upgrade buildings, summon units, defend territory, expand their kingdom, and defeat opponents. The game includes three factions, more than 20 units, and faction-specific characters and buildings. Its Orders system uses faith gathered by placing Monks around the base, with abilities unlocked through base upgrades.
Players can choose two perks from six before a game. AI play is available through campaign and multiplayer modes. Domination is an 8-player mode with limited army control, unit purchases, unit merging, resource points, and a central objective.
