Abandoned royalties raise wars in 6-minute trailer for Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

While I had some good laughs in the last post, clarifying that Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy is indeed a drama, and not a movie, it’s rather sad to see how small our expectations have become over the years in Cdramaland.
