What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Content wise - The vanilla game (the southern quests) contains 19 levels, and the Northern Expansion has an additional 12 (although they tend to be longer).
Gameplay: You play from the perspective of the "Majesty", you have 3 types of serfs: Tax collectors, Peasants, and Guards.
The visuals are dated, the interface primitive and the core concept -- the "D&D ant farm" -- has been expanded upon by the likes of the brilliant Dwarf Fortress and its derivatives.
The presentation is also helped by it's voice acting, the heros all have really memorable (usually humorous) lines, and the game's narrator does a Sean Connery impression which has to be seen to be believed.
They've made a free HD version, and even updated game with Steam multiplayer option.
The only possible advantage to Majesty Gold is that you can launch Majesty seperate from the Northern Expansion, which kind of makes the map look less cluttered.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
