Your army is the most important for you because it allows you to defend yourself at borders of your kingdom. You are the leader and you have to make alliances to expand yourself faster.

This game is really full of brilliants things with unique characters, generals, assassins, diplomats and more. Live medieval war and crusades as you never have!
