and the world will whisper your name in awe. Increase the greatness
of your lands and your treasure coffins, build Cathedrals and
Castles, and combat Highway Robber Bands and defecting vassals.
Introduce laws and set taxes, interact with hundreds of countiers and
nobles. Historical multiple-choice events will spawn from the actions
of your monarch.
Can you organize defence at home while mustering a great army?
Will you concert other monarchs, and the Pope, under your
leadership to liberate the Holy Land? Do you have what it takes to
become a Crusader King?
