The interface is efficient and a snap to master. To stay in tune with the political intrigue in Ishmeria's 30 states, you use a typical Koei, province-by-the- numbers, map screen. Adjacent windows enable you to issue four types of commands Military, Domestic, Diplomacy, and Vassal that put 16 other subcommands at your disposal. To win, though, you must also use Domestic to cultivate crops, protect the fields, and feed the masses.
Diplomacy enables you to spy, make alliances, and negotiate surrenders. Use Vassal to help keep your Lords and Ladies in line. Gemfire features a simple, easy-to- use, engaging battle system that enables you to orchestrate the strategy and tactics for your armies. On a battlefield, you and your opponent position icons representing five types of fighting units -- Horsemen, Archers, Soldiers, Mercenaries or Monsters called Fifth Units , and Wizards.
Then you take turns moving them like chess pieces. You recruit men for army as a whole and the computer allocates them to the units. Every unit has different attack ranges, patterns, and maximum strength points. The actual fighting is typically RPG-ish. Declining strength points indicate the damage occurring in a battle, and the CPU does all the fighting calculation. Slick graphics and animation help illustrate the action.
The game spices up the scenarios with wicked wildcard events. Your provinces suffer indiscriminate natural disasters, such as Wildfire, Snowstorms, and Plague. But, Gemfire tosses 13 unnatural disasters at you, too. For example, Pixies trash your crops, and Banshees freak out your people. Sometimes even your own Bugbear parties too hearty.
Few RPG games meld your mind with video game programming as well as Gemfire does. If you've never taken on Koei's unique RPG style, this is a good introduction that doesn't pull any punches. It's an epic RPG that takes an epic amount of time to play, but the journey's worth your efforts. Gemfire's a nice gem in Koei's RPG crown. Those role play masters at Koei have created another huge journey filled with mystery and intrigue. It's called the Legend of Gemfire, and it's one intense journey.
You have been chosen to search for six magical stones, if these legendary, magical stones are not retrieved and reset into the crown of Gemfire, you won't have the power to reunite the broken lands of Ishmeria.
The people will then be forced to live forever under the evil rule of Eselred. Once you recover the stones and restore the power to Gemfire, you must first restore your kingdom's prosperity and then build a loyal army big enough and powerful enough to help you conquer the 30 surrounding provinces.
This adventure's a real gem. There was a time when Ishmeria was a land of peace and bliss, guarded from all evil by six mages. The king of Ishmeria, seeking to wield total control over his lands, used the power of the Crown of Seven Jewels to summon a Fire Dragon to enforce his absolute rule.
Ever since, the open use of magic against the king has meet with swift retribution. Now, Princess Robyn has turned against her father's misdeeds and sent out a summons for the six mages and their allies to unite their powers and come to Gemfire for a showdown with the king.

Province 28 is called Celsea like Chelsea which is a part of London and you guessed it, London is in the southeast of England. Kinda like Lords of Magic the story calls for the families to unite to take down the evil King Eselred but instead they fight among themselves. In all scenarios the most powerful rulers are Erin and Ander in the north and Eselred in the southeast.
You can only choose between 4 families in any given scenario and Lankshire Eselred's family and what do you know, another thing that sounds like a real place in the UK is never one of them.
