Lords of the Realm

The English throne lies empty in 1268 A.D. You and 5 lords are locked in a struggle for the crown. Reap benefits of successful feudal governing, castle-building, castle-sieging, and land battles to conquer your rivals and claim the kingdom.

Keep your serfs fed and happy. Assign them to farming, herding, building, military and other tasks. Design your own castles or build them using actual historical blueprints. Then lay siege to your neighbors' castles and fight out land battles in tactical detail.

Résumé

The year is 1268, the English throne lies empty, and power-hungry lords are ready to wage war for newfound power. Your people now look to you to lead them to glory and prosperity.

You begin as the ruler of a small county, but lead wisely and keep your people secure and thriving, and soon you’ll broaden your horizons.

Manage your farms, make trade negotiations, build castles, flatter and deceive your opponents and then march your armies into the lands of your rival nobles. Unify the land under your rule, and prove you have what it takes to be King.
