Medieval Kingdom Wars places the player as a minor noble in service to a king, in a historical medieval setting with more than a dozen playable nations and over fifty lords to choose from. Each playthrough generates its own story from the combination of starting position, neighboring powers, and the decisions made in diplomacy and battle. The game offers multiple modes: a Grand Campaign covering the full medieval political map, classical RTS skirmish with solo, cooperative, and multiplayer options, and a nine-scenario story campaign that introduces the period through scripted events.
