Combining elements of resource management, tactical combat, and deep character interactions, the game offers a rich tapestry of political intrigue and familial drama. At its core, the game revolves around managing your noble house's affairs. Key features include: -Family Management: Players oversee various family members, each with unique traits and aspirations. Assigning tasks based on their abilities and personalities is crucial for maintaining harmony and efficiency within the house. -Diplomacy and Intrigue: Engage in complex diplomatic relations with other houses. Form alliances, arrange marriages, and navigate the delicate balance of power. Intrigue plays a significant role, with options to spy, spread propaganda, or sabotage rivals. -Conflict Resolution: Battles are resolved through a real-time tactical resource management system, adding a layer of strategic depth to military engagements. -Economic Strategy: Manage resources wisely to fund wars, trade, and development. Establishing commercial relations is vital for economic growth and sustaining your house's influence. The game is set in a richly detailed world inspired by Renaissance Europe, featuring a Mediterranean aesthetic. Players can shape their house's traditions, values, and goals, leading to diverse narratives with each playthrough.

Honestly there are many similarities between this and CKIII. However, the style, the game-play and most of its features are just different enough for it to be unique and a more laid back experience. And the family management system is much better so I don't have to murder/disinherit my children so that my firstborn doesn't have to endure the consequences of our fiefdom fracturing because of my characters weak pullout game. 8/10.

Got the game on sale. It was very fun while it lasted, but this is a one and done game. After one play through, you will have seen enough and know all the tricks such that everything will become tedious the second time around. Would have liked options to extend the game longer as opposed to being herded by set game events.

TLDR A very mid game that is only recommended on 50% or greater sale. Only reason I recommend is I feel I got my $10 worth but would of felt cheated at full price. I see what they are doing here. Making a political intrigue game that focuses on family relations instead of completely combat. I welcome this focus in grand strategy games. Though this game has a couple of issues that cause this to fall apart. It gets extremely repetitive fast. After you reach level of count (almost half way through single play through) it just becomes a major repetitive snoozfest. Diplomacy encounters are at first enjoyable. But they play exactly like military encounters and by the time you reach count you will be smashing that auto resolve button faster than the "like" button in a Youtube clickbait influencers wildest dreams. The game introduces several artificial roadblocks that just get annoying and grindy. One perfect example of this is trying to get a new feudal title (a core dynamic that is essential to progress the game). You cant declare a war outright to claim another title. You have to follow a convoluted process as follows: 1. Recruit a spy in the title holders town 2. Use spy for slander campaign 3. Declare "humiliation" war 4. Conquer their town 5. Fight a peace negotiation encounter to give the town back to them 6. Wait for the peace timer of 120 days to tick down 7. Redo steps 1 - 5 again with only difference being declare a "title" war this time. After these steps expect to do the exact same steps each time you want to progress in title. With a few roadblocks thrown in between like "get a title from the vice" which is separate from the feudal titles (count, duke, vice) and only happens on a 3 or 4 year count down and is only relevant for the feudal title that you are wanting to progress from. So for example from count to duke you literally sit your army outside a dukes town waiting to start the (7 x 2) step process of becoming duke for the 3 year counter to tick down so you can get the special non feudal title given by the vice (that only applies to count) to satisfy a checkbox. You must do this before you turn Duke to satisfy the artificial roadblock only to immediately become Duke after disregarding the stupid title that only applies to count. Does it sound convoluted and confusing? Thats because it absolutely is. There is no tutorial on how to progress feudal titles and you are left googleing the very counter intuitive process of first declaring humiliation war before you can then declare title war. This adds nothing to the game but game hours spent. I suspect it was an attempt by the devs to boost game play time stats without adding any content.
