Charlemagne is the fork of Clovis, the Grand Strategy game, dedicated to the middle ages' era of 800 to 1095. It covers a different historical era, adds new military units, as well as a new economic system! Play as Emperor Charlemagne, head of the Holy Roman Empire, and conquer Europe, or take control of the fearless Vikings, and make Britannia yours. But of course, it's not all about war and glory! You will also have to find love, establish a dynasty, deal with unruly subjects, and try to keep your Council of Advisors under control! Charlemagne allows you to play as you wish. You can be a powerful warmongering king, or play a peaceful scenario, and spend time developing your cities and building your castle. You can play the "Zero to Hero" scenario, earning experience points to improve your attributes, or decide to play a female leader, historical or not! Charlemagne has a little bit of everything, for everyone. From deep tactical war gameplay, to narrative events, tournaments, expeditions, and city-building. Customize the world, and the gameplay, as you see fit, and watch your kingdom grow. Charlemagne has no ads, and is not pay to win, because there's not even something to win. You can pay to earn diamonds, which allow you to unlock legendary characters to play. But those diamonds are also given for free through gameplay. Otherwise, you can also unlock DLCs, which are optional pieces of content, like God Mode or the Royal Hunt. You don't need those to play or enjoy the game, and once unlocked, they will work across saves and devices! Exit the free-to-play grinding monetization tactics, it's that simple. Charlemagne takes place during the years 800-1095, in Europe (as opposed to the game Clovis, which takes place between 481 and 800). It's based upon extensive historical research, to give you a truly medieval experience. You will face real geopolitical situations really encountered by rulers of the time, as well as characters and organizations that really existed. However, the game also takes some liberties when deemed necessary. The studio's motto: fun > realism. Charlemagne is a Grand Strategy + life simulation medieval game, made by Aerilys, the creator of Clovis and the Astonishing Sports games.
