Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

🕹 Editor's notes
The Total War series has been dominating the market as one of the most successful RTS franchises ever to be created. While most of the gaming community might be obsessed with this series today, it wasn't always the case.
Back in the early 2000s, there was a very different strategy game that was winning hearts worldwide. We aren't talking about Age of Empires here, but rather the more complex and detailed world of Three Kingdoms, Fate of the Dragon.
Three Kingdoms is a creation of Overmax studios and was officially released in the west around 2001. It presented a fascinated and artistic world of Chinese history and lore during the age of three kingdoms. Japanese game developer Koei, who was well-versed in Chinese history, made all this possible.
Plot
The game is based on the politics of 2nd century China, right after the fall of the great Han Dynasty. This threw land into chaos and turbulence as local warlords competed, all vying for the throne. This created a shattering effect on the empire, which fragmented into Three Kingdoms.
Fate Of The Dragon lets you play as a warlord seeking glory and victory for his faction. Build a settlement, gather resources, train troops, and march them into battle as you compete in a cycle of wars during this violent era.
Gameplay
This is the classical point-and-click strategy game mechanics similar to the Age of Empire franchise. It might be a little disappointing if you're coming from recent RTS games with contemporary animations and graphics.
However, there is something to appreciate about the poignant mechanics here. It's like watching an old samurai film on a projector.
Key features
- Players will have to implement creative techniques and exciting strategies to come out on top.
- Realistic graphics and accurate building sizes when compared to units.
- Classical strategy game mechanics that will make you feel nostalgic.
