Overview and Gameplay
A ruined ruler searches for a new kingdom after the fall of Miremer. Power Monger turns that conquest into real-time strategy, with captains, villagers, settlements, food supplies, inventions, and rival armies competing across a large campaign map.
Each territory is won by shifting the Conquest Balance in your favor. The campaign spans 195 lands, and the SNES version also includes a random land option for separate generated battles.
Controls And Mechanics

- Map handling: the close-up map can be rotated and zoomed, with an overview map for reading terrain and positions.
