I used to be a happy man. I had lots of vassals and a great deal of land that I owned. But then, my wife gave birth to twins. Twins! And both were sons. You see, I already had a son, and he was supposed to inherit everything when I die. But now he had two brothers, and they had to get their share as well. But I also had a high intrigue stat. So, long story short I now only have one son, because the twins were mysteriously found dead. I wish the story ended here. But my son contracted a disease and died. Now I am an old man, without an heir, and my empire will soon be divided among my vassals, and I secretly hate them. This was awful. Time to start a new game.

This game will teach you all you need to know about subjective morality, medieval history, and incest. If you think you're a good person, I dare you to try this game. You too will be murdering unneeded and unlanded family members and cheating on your spouse while blackmailing the priests who serve under you for better tithes within no time. Ever watched the show Game of Thrones and thought that that Jeoffrey guy was on to something? Maybe you're a fan of Henry VIII, a King of England who lived and breathed debauchery and intrigue (whatever you judge it as morally, that must have been a compelling life, no?) and made war whenver he felt he could? You can more or less act out any medieval power fantasy you'd like here, with options becoming more and more complex as you learn to manipulate diplomacy and how to plan more intricately. I cannot recommend this enough if you're into grand strategy like me.

one of the best strategy games that tormented me so much that ii ragequit for a long long time then i came back and started playing better but still fucking otoman empire or whatever its name is rekt me AGAIN i would swear so much now but no. the diplomacy and everyting that you can do are amazing fetures and the inside revolts where awsome and hard to settle down

I'd name this game one of the RTS legends, it isn't just about managing an country, it has got many side aspects like managing an entire dynasty, become more powerfull by marry family members off strategicly, having the option to fire some events yourself etc... Is only enhancing the gameplay, i'd also recommend to install the DLC when playing the game, the original game is good don't get me wrong, but for the optimal experience play with the DLC. It also runs smoothly on high speed even though i've got an ancient laptop and the price, 40 euros is also really fair for an game like this! Any RTS lover should give this game an go!

This is very different from any game I've ever played before. As such, I'm still learning, and learning a lot every time I play. This game is deep, and a lot of the control you have is more indirect than in other strategy games. It allows for fantastically deep narratives though. I installed the Game of Thrones mod and got straight to having all the Lannisters executed. Except Tyrion, of course.
