The realm expands by conquest or by governance — both are available, and both have their rewards. Assemble your forces, customize your units, and appoint Champions to lead them into real-time combat against rival kingdoms and territories. Push hard and raid cities, send waves of reinforcements, and bring ruin to whoever stands against you. Or hold your position, build up your city from the inside, manage your subjects, and find true love along the way. The road to the top accepts multiple routes.
