Conquer Medieval Europe and North Africa in a combination of Grand Strategy and Real-Time Strategy gameplay where you rule one of 28 kingdoms as you build and manage your cities, engage in diplomacy and command massive armies on the world map and on the battlefield

Take the throne and rule your kingdom as you build and manage your cities, assign vassals, engage in diplomacy, establish trade alliances, set tax rates, declare war or sue for peace, deploy your armies and battle your enemies

Construct buildings in your hamlets, villages, towns and cities to provide much needed income, order walls and defences built for defense, and establish a base from which to train your armies

Send out your armies to intercept attackers before they reach your walls or launch your own attacks on other cities to expand your kingdom into new territories

You need not do evereything yourself, as you can place a Call-To-Arms flag to encourage your vassals and allies to send their own armies to attack a town or defend an area

Command your garrisons, armies and ships as you engage in siege, field and naval combat, battling for victory against rival lord, nations and kings

When defeating a city you have the option to capture it to expand your kingdom, loot it to fill your coffers, or to raze it to the ground as an example to your enemies

Not all victories are won on the battlefield, sometimes you need to find a diplomatic solution and a well timed gift or trade offer can avert disaster

You don’t have to confine your ambitions to Western Europe, as you can venture into the greater world beyond, taking your campaign into Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and North Africa!
