About the game
AD 1230. Twenty-eight realms around the Black Sea, the Aegean and the Levant fight for the inheritance of Rome. In 1204 the knights of the Fourth Crusade took Constantinople and crowned a Latin emperor; Nicaea and Trebizond each claim to be the true heir, while Venice and Genoa divide the islands and the ports. To the east the Sultanate of Rum holds Anatolia, the Ayyubids hold Egypt and Jerusalem, a caliph still sits in Baghdad — and from deep in the steppe, the Mongols are already riding west.
The player picks a coat of arms and rules a realm through its court, its faith and its armies: from the throne to the battlefield. Every realm, coat of arms and province is built from historical sources.
Key features
The strategic map
Fifty-seven provinces from the Balkans to Mesopotamia, with relief, rivers, roads and sea lanes. Armies march, towns grow, and trade hubs keep the treasury full.
The battlefield
Real-time battles in 3D. Orders travel by messenger and arrive late; a commander with a higher Sword builds longer chains of actions and sets “if, then” triggers. At sea, Greek fire burns.
The court and the cards
Events, Tasks and Manna come as cards. Lords have faces, families, character and plans of their own — each can uphold the throne or threaten it.
Faith and government
Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Islam, the Armenian and Jacobite churches, Tengrism and the old faiths. The form of government decides what a ruler may do and what the people will bear.
