Sword of Aragon

This is an old game from SSI, dating back to the late 1980s. It belongs to the genre of strategy games, one in which you start with a central character, and a starting city. Building up the city, and drafting some troops, you then proceed to venture out and conquer other cities. From there, you expand your army, eventually conquering the whole map.

This game combines city management with conquering cities. Besides choosing what type of units to build for your army, you have to move them around so as to concentrate enough force on your enemies and overcome their defences. City management is important in that you need to generate income to sustain your troops. So this is something not like the usual wargame that you create using the Wargame Construction Set, also by SSI. It probably formed the basic concept for future games like Warlords.
