Grand Ages: Medieval

Grand Ages: Medieval is a real-time empire simulation set in Europe in 1050 AD. You begin as the head of a small settlement and lead your people through the High Middle Ages by exploring, gathering resources, trading, founding cities, researching technology and expanding your power. Build an empire through economic growth and, when strong enough, conquer territory across Europe.

The campaign and world

You govern an area stretching from Scandinavia and North Africa to Portugal, the Caucasus and the Middle East. The game world covers more than 20 million square kilometres, where you choose strategic sites for cities and defend your kingdom against foreign powers. The campaign advances through the decades and includes cut-scenes; free play lets you set your own rules.

Trade and research

Produce and trade 20 different goods, including coal, fruits and pottery, to meet the needs of your citizens and soldiers. Research and use 50 major technological advancements of the Middle Ages, including three-field crop rotation, the low warp loom and the longbow. Protect your trade routes from barbarian attacks as your realm grows.

Warfare and disasters

Raise armies of knights, archers and cavalry to fight your opponents and pursue conquest. Your realm can also face storms, fires, volcanoes, droughts, earthquakes and the Black Death.
