History VideoGame / OgreBattle64

The third game released in the ''VideoGame/OgreBattle'' line (yet stated to be the "sixth" in the story canon), ''Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber'' was released on the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 in 1999 (Japan) and 2000 (North America). It goes back to the RealTimeStrategy-style of game-play that the [[VideoGame/OgreBattleTheMarchOfTheBlackQueen first game]] in the series implemented, and away from the more orthodox TurnBasedStrategy of ''VideoGame/TacticsOgre''.

* GambitPileup: The main plot of the game is the Revolutionary Army trying to win freedom from Lodis. Simple enough. Around this main plot, though, you have: the Royal Family trying to preserve their positions by stopping the Revolution while also finding the Ultimate Power to beat Lodis; nobles like Rhade, Godeslas, and Kerikov, trying to get on top by working for the Royal Family and secretly with Lodis; Lodis itself, playing both royals and nobles against each other while [[spoiler:working with netherworlders]] and trying to find the Ultimate Power themselves; Zeda, working with both Lodis ''and'' the Royal Family as suits her needs [[spoiler:to ultimately awaken Danika]]; and Yumil, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers wanting a peaceful solution]]. Lots of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, MotiveDecay, SanitySlippage, and EnemyMine ensue, with the LastPlanStanding technically being [[spoiler:Zeda's]]. (Though it's less a matter of things going AllAccordingToPlan and more a case of everyone else dying first.) [[spoiler:Even the Netherworlders' plan to resurrect Danika is part of an even ''bigger'' gambit by Rashidi, the Big Bad of the first game]].

The game takes place in Palatinus (north of Zenobia) and stars Magnus Gallant, a young nobleman who, instead of choosing to stick around the wealthy Central Division and live a life of ease in nobility, decides to make a name for himself by joining the military academy to eventually be recruited into the hazardous Southern Division army. What starts as Magnus merely trying to quell a lowborn rebellion erupts into a full blown revolution across the Palatinus Kingdom, striking back against the hegemonic Lodis Empire, and even preventing the second Ogre Battle.

* CameraScrew: Whenever you destroy a gate during siege missions, the camera changes to a much-harder-to-follow low angle, forcing you to change it back.
