Back story - I was in the mood to battle the Gorgon, trying out some new ideas. Sadly I have found that Vista hates DOS games, and after a month of tweaking I have not been able to play Birthright on my new computer.

Now - I still want to play something like Birthright: Gorgons Alliance, but I have not been able to find another game like it. Does anybody know of one? The part I loved was building up my provinces, making roads and trade routes, stronger guilds, the empire building stuff. The battle system was OK, but I almost always let the computer auto-roll the outcome, with my normal economy I could afford it.

So anyway, any ideas? I was glad to see this site is here, Birthright is too much fun to be forgotten. I rebuilding my old computer from 1997, pretty much just for Birthright and a few other DOS games (Imperium Galactica and X-com), but until then, can anybody think of something like this classic game?
