HI Everyone!

Not long and we will start the new Alpha phase. This time it is all about scenario gameplay.

Manage your serfs to fight and die in your name... or let them prosper, and use them to work on your fields or smithy.

Collect taxes and resources. Dictate rations and field work. Forge weapons, raise armies, and build mighty fortified cities and castles. Help your people become knights, or dump them on a battlefield far away, but be careful: even the most humble peasants will revolt eventually…

This will also include all the battle gameplay from the old alpha test as well as multiplayer and/or AI to fight against.

stay tuned!

Cheers!
