MacPlay released a Mac OS port in December 2000. In a major divergence from most real-time strategy games, the player does not have direct control over their units. As Sovereign, the player must rely on hiring bands of wandering heroes in order to get anything done. In Majesty, players assume the role of king in a fantasy realm called Ardania which features city sewers infested with giant rats, landscapes dotted with ancient evil castles, and soldiers helpless against anything bigger than a goblin. The game is not a simulator that part of the title is a witticism, a reference to the game's adherence to fantasy and fantasy role-playing game cliches. Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is a real-time strategy video game developed by Cyberlore Studios, and published by Hasbro Interactive under the MicroProse brand name for Windows in March 2000.
