The King's Campaign

The King's Campaign is a standalone campaign that combines grand strategy with real-time strategy. You rule one of 28 kingdoms and seek to conquer medieval Europe and North Africa, managing cities, conducting diplomacy and commanding armies on the world map and in battle. It includes the expanded map from the Greater World DLC and the optional Zombie Mode.

Rule your kingdom

You build and manage settlements, assign vassals, set tax rates, establish trade alliances, declare war and sue for peace. Hamlets, villages, towns and cities can be developed with buildings that provide income or let you train armies; you can also order walls and other defences built. Diplomacy offers alternatives to fighting, and a well-timed gift or trade offer can avert disaster.

Move and command armies

Deploy armies to intercept attackers before they reach your walls or attack other cities to expand into new territory. You can place a Call-To-Arms flag to encourage vassals and allies to send armies to attack a town or defend an area. Command garrisons, armies and ships in siege, field and naval combat against rival lords, nations and kings.

After defeating a city, you can capture it to expand your kingdom, loot it for wealth or raze it as an example to your enemies. Your campaign can extend beyond Western Europe into Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and North Africa.
