QuoteWHAT IS KING'S ORDERS?
In King's Orders, you play as a medieval ruler. Your goal is to manage armies and cities on a map of Europe. Give orders by sending letters to your generals and make decisions based on the reports you receive. Re-enact historical events and see how you can change the course of history. Create a dominating empire that shall last for centuries!
MEDIEVAL EUROPE
From the frozen Scandinavia to the coast of Africa - claim new territories, expand your influence, and replay unique scenarios. Each one will challenge you with the most pivotal battles of the Middle Ages, with the outcome hinging on your actions. The Hundred Years' War, the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War, the Reconquista - each can be a setting for your plan to achieve total victory. Do you possess the strategic prowess to forge an ultimate plan that will fulfill your ambitions, regardless of the obstacles?
KING'S STRATEGY
King's Orders is designed for players seeking a more immersive experience than traditional real-time strategies. Communicate with your troops by dispatching messengers with your letters. Send orders and wait for results. Remember it takes time for your runner to deliver the message and the route is full of dangers. Realism is magnified by the lack of battle preview in real-time. Your understanding of events is solely derived from received reports, requiring you to envision the battle and make subsequent decisions based on the information at hand.
DIVIDE AND RULE!
Conquer cities and seize control of valuable luxury goods. Gained gold gives you various opportunities, so spend it wisely. Will you train more troops or focus on fortifying? You decide what kind of ruler you are and how you're about to manage the economy. Every decision has consequences, and unpopular choices may lead to rebellion against you. Ensure the loyalty and morale of your generals, as they play a crucial role in helping you control the populace.
Looks pretty good. I'll check it out, Thanks Ian.
I got it. It's looking ok so far. There's also a Grand Campaign of the whole of Europe.
If they made one of these set in WW2 I'd have a very happy retirement.
This looks pretty cool!
Bought it on release, haven't played it yet, water is sometimes wet, sky is sometimes blue, etc. :Nerd:
