Indie game developer Kerry Fawdray from Brisbane, Australia, has recently placed his game Veil of Crows up on Steam Greenlight and is asking for your votes.
Veil of Crows is a sandbox style real-time strategy game, set in a chaotic medieval world. Players begin with a handful of peasants and work to build a kingdom. The player will need to exploit the land and its people, using trade, alliances, completing quests or brute force to carve their name into history. If you die, the world will remain as you left it, while you start over. Veil of crows gameplay has been inspired by great titles from Mount and blade, to Stronghold, and the Total war series.

EPIC BATTLES:
