### 1/5 — Frustrating.

*2026-08-27*

The game play was fun and easy to sink a few hours into. However the council of dukes keep tanking my relationship with them. So I’m spending all the money trying to bring them back up to where they don’t want to take my title or assassinate me. I used the settings to make them less frequent and powerful. There was two settings for this, I don’t remember the other one. Even with that, it’s still like being bombarded with plots, due to the council of dukes. I hate spending my hard earned gold on this guys. Money is hard to earn as is. There’s no real way other than taxes to raise this. You can only have two extra titles as a king. Everything cost a lot. Having to restart due to some stupid council of dukes is annoying. I’m not trying to have to get my title back when everyone already hates me. My income gos from twenty coins as king to one coin.

### 3/5 — Great game that needs to be fleshed out

*2026-08-09*

It’s that simple. If they add more Provence’s (like why is Poland one province), more scenarios, the ability to choose any country on any scenario, and more emphasis on other continents like Asia, this game will be on the same level as ck3 atleast for mobile.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Aerilys

### 1/5 — Aİ

*2026-07-16*

Ai slop you dont deserve to be succes

**Developer response:** E pur si muove

### 5/5 — Jogo muito massa!

*2026-07-02*

Melhor jogo na categoria com certeza.
Continue assim!!!

### 4/5 — it’s a good game!!

*2026-06-07*

This is suuuuuch a good game! It’s done well and I only have one problem loll;
how come the game data doesn’t save sometimes 😭
because sometimes I come back and it’s skipped a couple years back in time and I have to redo loads of stuff and I lose alliances?

### 5/5 — JOGO MUITO BOM!!

*2026-05-21*

O jogo é muito bom, mas pode colocar várias outras melhorias e vai continuar crescendo.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-27*

this game is so amazing. when I need a ck3 fix i play this. 
only addition needed in base game is letting us punish rebels! my vassals keep rebelling as soon as they can for my title and I can't revoke their title or kill them. i mean i can try to assassinate them but that's not a guarantee to secrecy or working. imprisoning them and then killing them just makes others hate me and then they rebel.

**Developer response:** When someone goes to war against you in a rebellion, if you win the war, you can actually take action against them from the chronicles screen! There, you will have a number of great options, depending on your level of technology. I hope that helps! Aerilys

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2026-03-29*

Having loads of fun playing this game. Takes a lot to learn but I like it. Easy game mechanics and good visuals

### 4/5 — Can’t see opinion modifiers

*2026-03-23*

This game is a 3.5 rounded up to 4 for me, not being able to see why everybody in the world has a -100 opinion modifier of me is frustrating, also gave titles away to my kids and they ended up hating me soon after, not sure if it’s because I gave them more lands than they could feasibly take care of it because of me holding 5 other duke titles.. anyways, I ended up giving one of them a duke title who immediately changed allegiances to the king so I was no longer receiving income from his lands, he then gave the land to his brother who was now a duke and switched allegiances to the king but he was also over his land limit so he just keeps swapping the title back with his brother, very strange loop

**Developer response:** Mr Minotaur, thanks for your feedback about the "loop"!
Regarding relationships, your spy report should generally be enough. If not, there's an option in the settings called "Keep relationship logs", which allows you to see every change in relationship with every character, and their reason. This might help!
Enjoy!
Aerilys

### 4/5 — Amélioration

*2026-03-13*

Le jeu a un immense potentiel mais songer même en étant duc ou destituer de son titre de roi qu’on puisse se procurer des armées je dis bien des armées pas une seule genre , tu as une armée principal et une autre armés comme des gardes rapprochés, et que l’armée soit aussi constituée en nombres , genres 1000 Soldats , 2000 , 10000 soldats des archers des fantassins des cavaliers et non pas 3 ou 15 couronne sous forme d’une armée ça c’est banal et archaïque. Une salle de trône, qu’on puisse contrôler diplomatie , guerre , famille , économie, construction, bref tout digne d’un vrai jeu de royaume. Si vous pouviez régler ce problème dans la semaine qui suis là ça serait un énorme merci pour tous , développeur.
