With Orléans, dlp games presents its most complex and most extensive work to date in terms of material. The content is about gaining supremacy in medieval France through trade, building activity and science. The focus is on the city of Orléans and the area along the Loire River, where you can make trade trips to other cities to get hold of coveted goods and to build continents.
The highlight of the game is the way you trigger actions. You need different people like farmers, craftsmen, knights or monks. Each player assembles his or her own followers in the course of the game. Each profession is associated with certain advantages. Knights, for example, increase the player's own radius of action and are also needed to accompany trade journeys. In the village you can hire craftsmen, who help to build the gates and produce tools. Scholars are important for advancing progress. And last but not least, it is worthwhile to become active in the monastery, because with the help of the monks you are less at the mercy of fate.
You always want to perform more actions than you can, and there are many paths that lead to the goal. The game offers a lot of possibilities: You can acquire additional actions, engage in one area or the other. Depending on your strategy, you should consciously choose and coordinate your following as well as all other game Elements.
