IGN writes: "It may look like an RTS, but Majesty 2 doesn't actually let you directly control any units. As it's full title of The Fantasy Kingdom Sim implies, this is more of a simulation. You build your town, amass an army, attempt to expand your kingdom across the map, and deal with threats along the way.
So how do you motivate your troops into action? Money, of course. By placing bounties on aspects of the game world, you'll be able to direct your citizens' attentions. So, for instance, if you place a bounty on bears, you'll find town hunters start heading out in search of the beasts. The trick is having enough capital reserves to be able to pay off those who earn the bounty, which can be done in several ways."

The Strategy Gamer looks at how several games break the God-game mold that seems to plague the genre.
"March, my people, into battle. Even though you are 500 miles away, and radios have not yet been invented, instantly obey my commands. It’s good to be the king.
Strategy games often put the player in the stated position of king or emperor, allowing them to guide a nation in totalitarian fashion. It is an odd paradox that while so many games put you in a position of supreme leader, so few model it with any degree of authenticity."
"GamersGate are currently holding offers of 40% off on Mass Effect 2"
