Our take on Great Houses of Calderia
The bounce point is the shift from directing a single ruler to managing the family: assigning relatives to duties, weighing their traits and desires, and managing their time. Players who want to focus on battles without also handling family affairs and diplomacy may hit that wall.
What is Great Houses of Calderia?
Lead a noble family in a Renaissance-inspired province where influence grows through trade, diplomacy, intrigue, and warfare.
Assign family members to important tasks according to their traits and personalities, and manage their time and individual desires. Characters’ traits and personalities can change as they experience events. Make decisions during battles, marriages, peace negotiations, and title distributions. Expand a fiefdom and its population, raise the family’s noble status, and bring other houses under its authority. Define traditions, values, and goals for the house, and build its reputation in Calderia. Battles use real-time tactical unit management, while diplomacy, cunning, and trade offer paths to advancement beyond the battlefield.
