I like to be able to create encounters and enjoy defending against myself. Weird, right?

IMO the best medieval -themed strategy game. Perfect combination of castle building, economy management and real time combat. 10/10 reommend!

I have first played this game when I was a 13 year old kid.. I'm 36 now and I can still go into the game and enjoy it's timeless quality. If you can like a game that requires grinding, strategy and it's hard to play (vs bots), this is the game you'll 100% enjoy and it'll give a great satisfaction once you finish the levels on trials. If you are first time player, don't forget: Prepare to die, infidel!
