Real-time strategy set during the Middle Ages, mixing base-building with squad-based combat. You pick one of four factions—Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, or Slav—and lead campaigns across medieval Europe. Battles involve managing squads across large maps, using terrain for tactical advantage, and setting up temporary bases between skirmishes. Resource gathering feeds into unit production. The game includes a cinematic camera that zooms into the action mid-fight. Expect sieges, village raids, and pitched field battles rather than abstract unit shoving. Campaign missions go beyond pure conquest, requiring you to balance raiding with longer-term strategic goals. If you want medieval warfare that's more grounded than fantasy RTS but less simulation-heavy than grand strategy, this splits the difference.
