Medieval themed video games

More fun stuff - here are a couple of video games that might interest you:

Medieval Lords - challenges aspiring city governors to build and manage thriving cities, protect against invasions from neighboring kingdoms, and expand into new territories – all in the city building genre’s first 3D environment that lets the player zoom right into the action and build anywhere on the map. Medieval Lords brings city builders inside the walls of richly-detailed cities during the Middle Ages. Through the course of ten scenarios, players must manage finances, population, and food resources to evolve towns into thriving kingdoms. Build docks for fishing local waters, harvest fields to grow food and raise livestock, keep citizens healthy and entertained, and recruit soldiers and cavalry for a well-defended city.

Medieval II: Total War - a sequel to a popular game, this one combines a vast, deep-thinking turn-based strategy campaign with the most cinematic, epic and brutal real-time battles ever seen in the genre. You can also read this interview with one of the game's designers.
