Quality Game overall

Okay. So. Having played this for quite some time I think it’s great with needed improvements.

The game needs a complete overhaul on the friendship and alliance system. It’s the only thing holding it back atm imo. Considering I send aid to Norway a turn before and then only 1 turn after they declare war. Then we take a it a step further and I actually pay 9000 which is a crazy amount to begin with to become friends with Essex for them to go and declare war a turn later. What a waste of money and friendship for 1 turn. I must ask and pay to declare peace but they can just declare war and peace as and when they like. So I think the whole war, peace, friends, alliance system needs re working.

However

The game isn’t too hard as many claim. It certainly is at first I struggled for a long time however you soon realise that if you just focus on attacking land with castles and getting castles it becomes easy to get money. If you have a large fleet of ships and control the sea it becomes easier to defend land. If you are attacking a castle you should use a couple armies with low troop amounts and high amount of sieges first and then one big army with lots of troops to take the castle at the end. Only attack a castle with your troops to take it if its defences are weak I.e the castle level ups. You can see by visual. Once you figure out the games crack it becomes incredibly fun to create a big kingdom.

Thanks for your review. I will look at the code when you give aid. I think it moves the friendship & mood bar up one but if he has a large army sitting at you doorstep. I think he takes the money and still attacks. It does not guarantee friendship. If you want to lock them into an alliance you should create an alliance with them. You may have to become friends first but this will lock in an alliance for 5 turns and takes longer to drop to war.

I love your work!

Thanks for your review.

Too hard

I’m disappointed. Most of the games are set on hard or expert. I find them impossible to win, let alone play. Within a few rounds the adversaries attack me, sometimes several at a time. The income level is too low to build up troops and I get defeated. It’s very frustrating.

Response from developer

Practice on the easy games first

Response from developer

Thanks

Awesome concept, highly recommended

I’ve played all strategic turn based games from Gregory for the past 5 years. This is by far one of the most challenging (in a good way) concepts.
In FFA (on hard), once my king/queen, princes and princesses die, I only have 2 leaders to work with. Then once I get to turn 150 or so and then only one leader remains. If there was a way royals regenerated or were replaced once they died, similar to French and Indian war leadership style.
As fun as FFA is on this game, it is impossible to play with only 1 leader.
Keep up the good work, thank you!

Response from developer

Yes I have had some other people with this problem, just make sure you have bodyguards with your leaders and they won’t die.

Love your games

Can’t wait for the next one!

It’s an ad farm

Pretty much have the whole map declare war on you regardless of your actions and you need to spam adverts for credits for most of the maps

Hi

The things and stuff that I like the most about the game is the kingdoms, and you did add quite a lot but the game just needs to fix Wales a bit more considering Wales wasn’t United back then it was divided into multiple kingdoms like Powys, Gwynedd, Rhôs, Deuhbarth, Gwent, Dyfed and so on, and also the game needs to add a bit more kings and monarchs like Oswald I of Northumbria, Edwin I of Northumbria, Oswig I or Oswiu of Northumbria but the game just needs to add the kingdoms full monarchs that what I meant.

Hi, thanks for you interest and I will consider adding more later

Tutorial is crap

You click and try to follow the tips but nothing matches the description, if you can’t even make a working tutorial how do you imagine people will get into the game. I deleted the game

Response from developer

Yeah, I am sorry about that. I am really bad at making tutorials and when I do, no-one uses them. So that's it. The game is fairy straight forward, and there are some video tutorials out there.
