Summary
Set in a fantastical medieval world where small Kingdoms struggle for supremacy in a chaotic land of knights and demons, you are the ruler of a new Kingdom, born from the ashes of a once mighty realm.
To restore your land to its former glory you must forge order out of chaos, by uniting its warring fiefdoms under one supreme ruler – the Warrior King.
But first you must secure your own kingdom. Build castles to master the land, harness and exploit your resources to build and sustain your economic power and military strength, research new technologies, such as gunpowder and Greek fire, use spies and mercenaries, priests and merchants, ships and engines of war, to outwit and force your foe into surrender. Make and break alliances as you see fit, use formations and battle tactics to achieve victory - send your cavalry around the flanks of the enemies army, control the high ground to dominate terrain, lure the enemy into ambushes, destroy the massed knights of your opponent with pikemen and archers! You will also have to master the skills of siege warfare to triumph as you send catapults and siege towers against the enemy, and watch as your troops swarm over the walls and storm the enemies' city, all in full, glorious 3D.
However, there is one final twist on the path to victory for a Warrior King: you must choose the path you follow carefully: will you take the Pagan, Renaissance or Imperial route? Will you follow a rigid monotheism, building upon the power of the church to call down Acts of God upon your heretical foes, or will you embrace the Pagan side and summon mighty creatures from the spirit world to enslave your enemies? Or will you reject those paths, and choose to concentrate on Renaissance technology, and use gunpowder, bombardment, musketeers and mighty engines of war?
It's up to you - you are the Warrior King.
