A deep, janky medieval dynasty sim mixing business, politics, crime and family, with great emergent stories. Skip it if you want polish; most say buy Renaissance instead.
Great for
Patient players who like sandbox life sims, medieval economy, political scheming and forgiving jank
Main risk
Buggy, clunky and confusing, and Renaissance is a better version of the same game
