Our take on Field of Glory: Kingdoms
Its campaign begins in 1054 and spans more than two centuries, with succession and the stability of a ruler’s domain woven into the strategy.
What is Field of Glory: Kingdoms?
Set in 1054, after the Great Schism, Field of Glory: Kingdoms covers more than two centuries across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Players lead a nation and manage royal authority, population, vassals, and social classes, while issuing edicts, building structures, and declaring wars. Rulers arrange succession by having an heir, but a change of ruler may still bring conflict. Religious differences can fuel tensions and wars, while losing holy cities can lead to a Crusade or Jihad. Armies draw on units such as knights, spearmen, and crossbowmen. Battles can be exported to Field of Glory II: Medieval and their results returned to the campaign. The game also supports asynchronous multiplayer against other players.
