At the time it was released, Majesty was incredibly different from every other strategy game out there. Focusing on indirect control, it emphasized building a network that the AI could utilize to complete tasks on its own rather than an infrastructure that the player directly utilized. This resulted in Majesty's depiction as a simulation game, as you can't actually directly control the units under your employ. While it was a little frustrating at times, it was also revolutionary and amazingly interesting to those used to the strategy standard of direct control, and still has both novelty and actual value. 28/09/09
