Kingdom Wars 4

Kingdom Wars 4 is a historical strategy game set in 1347, during the Hundred Years' War. You choose from more than 300 lords and kings, including one of 200 minor lords or kings, and lead a small demesne or a great kingdom. Your aim is to preserve your realm and protect its people as the Black Death spreads across Europe.

Rule through crisis

You manage lordships and kingdoms, build cities and hamlets, and handle trade, the economy and diplomacy. You can respond to the pandemic with medieval medicine, quarantine your cities or cut trade with distant lands. As the disease spreads, millions of people across Europe become infected and die, making human resources scarcer than silver coins.

The game spans greater Europe and beyond, from the sultanates of North Africa to Byzantium, the Russian states and the Golden Horde, as well as the kingdoms of Western and Central Europe. You can play as a minor noble at the Ottoman court, an earl in Ireland or the Emperor of Byzantium, among many other choices.

Battles and sieges

Warfare includes field battles, sieges and naval combat, with several thousand units on each side of a battle. After winning, you can loot corpses or dismantle towns to replenish resources.

Two levels of management

You can manage your realm on the world map or enter towns in RTS mode to oversee them up close. In towns, you construct buildings and walls and position your troops.

Pandemic and undead modes

The Black Death is a full-scale pandemic that shifts the focus from conquering rivals to surviving the outbreak. The game also has an optional undead mode, available as free DLC.
