What it is
King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame is a real-time tactics game from NeocoreGames, released in 2009 and published by Paradox Interactive. It follows Arthur’s bid to claim Britannia and build Camelot, with knights recruited to the Round Table and sent on adventures or into battle.

The game draws on Arthurian figures such as Lancelot, Galahad and Merlin, and pits forces including faeries and saints against wizards and evil knights.
