Take the fate of the young mercenary captain in your hands. Bari: 400 years after the collapse of the Roman Empire, Italy is still up for grabs. Relive the tale of the port city Bari from the point of view of a Byzantine family, rising from the common soldiery to the nobility. Beware, for not only Bari is at stake, but also control of Southern Italy. Dracula: History forged an incredible legend around the man who ruled Wallachia in the mid-15th century.
