It's 1347, the time of the Hundred Years' War. In this historical grand strategy and RTS hybrid you play as one of 200 minor lords across medieval Europe, Africa or Middle East. Rise up to take over your Kingdom and be crowned, then fight to preserve your empire as Black Death descends on Europe.
Hey Everyone,
We have another big update today that brings a number of new features like camera centering, greatly improves GUI and adds a number of other important improvements across the board - from performance to world map AI.
We also focused on fixing last remaining bugs and balancing. In addition this update includes a lot of work on the Dead Rising DLC that is not currently enabled.
For our next update we are bringing you Dead Rising DLC. With performance finally on a decent level after over a year long delay we can finally deliver on this. Though please keep in mind - to properly experience Dead Rising DLC you would need at least a mid-range system with SSD due to an extremely large number of undead that the game keeps track of and controls. We are expecting Dead Rising to launch next month.
