The Prince is Back + Technical Note
Machiavelli:The Prince is another one of those classic games that you can lose hours to just telling yourself: just one more turn. Figuring out the best trade routes, exploring and making the most profit is good fun, but the game gets its next level status from the fact you're competing with your AI opponents (or human, if you happen to be playing in person or put yourself through the torture of sending save files back and forth over email like it was the mid-90s again) in multiple arenas. Besides amassing a fortune via trade, you're also making waves back in Rome by trying to become the Doge or even Pope. Each of these positions give you the opportunity to wield an army by calling a crusade or naming yourself General or Admiral, line your pockets by raising your salary as Doge or increase the cardinal indulgence rate as Pope, or harass your enemies by attempting to hang their Senators if you appoint yourself Councilhead. If you are a fan of underhanded tactics, you can also visit the Den of Iniquity and hire arsons or assassins to hinder your foes, or induldge in a bit of good old fashioned slander (the slander.lie file is fully editable so you can insert your own insults if you are so inclined). All in all, great game. On a technical note: when I first purchased the game, I was having an issue where I was hearing the music just fine, but sound effects were not coming through. A poster on the forums named Platov came up with a solution that I wanted to post here in order to give it more visibility. "It was an error in the Dosbox configuration file for the game. The dosbox_fs.conf file make Dosbox emulates a Soundblaster Pro but the game don't detect it because it is an incompatible sound card. On the sbtype line, you must change sbpro for sb16. Like this: BEFORE #sbtype=sb16 sbtype=sbpro AFTER #sbtype=sb16 sbtype=sb16 And there it is! The digital sounds work like a charm. I hope this can help if anyone has the same problem like me."
