Majesty is a "simulation" in that it is designed to implement a clichéd fantasy role-playing game world in another genre entirely. As such the setting, Ardania, features city sewers infested with giant rats, landscapes dotted with ancient evil castles, and soldiers helpless against anything bigger than a goblin. As Sovereign, the player must rely on hiring bands of wandering heroes in order to get anything done.
