A new idea maybe. Usually we are playing as the Ruler, but in Calderia, we start playing as the Nobles, not the King or Queen, or Emperor. So this is very challenging, because we start with only the fiefdom, as a Noble family, and then how to protect your family, fiefdom, everything you have and determine your family future. So in my opinion this is a very good game, with a different idea for strategy game in middle age era.

⭐Pros: a good micromanaging game about upholding relations and trying to climb up in the world through titles -resources, trade, marriage, war, negotiations, randomized events and choices done well enough, customisable characters -very well made family ideals tree with a lot of options for different gameplay styles, clear winning conditions tree -RNG is logical and merciful, the relevant parameters are shown on each choice -simple enough management in own cities (more workers=more productivity) -the title gaining/voting process seems realistic enough ♦️ Cons: -UI is not the most intuitive -the worldmap is a bit hard to read even on a big screen -details about families and relations to them are a bit hard to remember as there is no easy-to-read compilation or UI elements showing them anywhere -tutorial does not always show at all if you don't follow a completely linear first-play, no easily rewatchable tutorials The game consists of a lot of text windows and managing relations to other families through negotiations, trade, marriage or war. It's not Civilization or the kind of game where you focus on development of your country mainly by building stuff. There is the developmental aspect, but it's mostly you waiting for an upgrade to complete while it takes away from your other resources. Definitely buy it if you're a medieval geek or strategy nerd

There are problems with the game. It has bugs. It lacks refinement. And there will be no improvements to it. But, for only $2.49 on sale, I think it was worth it for sure. At this price I recommend it.

Underrated game. Once you get through an hour or 2 of confusing play, it really smooths out and becomes fun. The game explains about the same amount as paradox games do, but doesn't have the added wiki and forums that come with a big game. That leads to a fair number of situations where there are unknowns, but I can't really blame the game for it. If it had 2-3x the in-game documentation it has, I think it'd have been really popular. The battle/social minigames are pretty fun and have a fair amount of skill cap, making there still things to learn a few tens of hours in. The game is really immersive, significantly moreso than most 4x games I've played. 2 main complaints: the victory conditions seem half-baked, and it's fairly easy to be over- or under-powered for a situation. Neither of those interferes with having a fun game, really. Definitely worth checking out, especially on sale.
