What players say
I think this is a fantastic game! It's like a big brother to 'Lords of the Realm 2' from the 90's. Give it a chance, probably fail a few times then you'll get the hang of it and get sucked in. It's good stuff.
I have great fun learn the mechanics! it's like mini CK3 and mini Total War merge together.
A mix of bannerlord and Ck3. IF you have ck3 and would like to play it in a more direct and less stressful storyline this is for you. if you play bannerlord and want a different loop between battles this is a good choice. Its a unique mix of Turn base and realtime in one.
