Attention all strategy game enthusiasts! Get ready to dive into the exciting world of Field of Glory: Kingdoms. This is the latest addition to our popular Field of Glory franchise, from veteran development studio AGEOD. Field of Glory: Kingdoms takes you on an epic journey through the Middle-Ages historical period, just after the Great Schism between the Orthodox and Catholic Christians. Players will experience more than two centuries of European, African, and Middle Eastern history in a WEGO turn-based strategy game that promises to be both challenging and enjoyable. One of [u]Kingdoms new major features is the introduction of religions.[/u] Each nation and population can be of one of the Abrahamic religions, pagan, or even heretic, and this can be a determining factor for your nation and your relations with others. Indeed, having a neighbor of a different religion will create tensions and sometimes wars. Some rulers were tolerant, but this was more an exception than the norm.

There are five Holy Cities, one of which is shared by three monotheistic religions and will foster friction and tension, perhaps leading to a crusade or a jihad.[/i] In particular, Christianity and Islam will often clash, as they both claim the Holy City of Jerusalem. [u]When the imbalance is too strong, diplomacy will take a backseat, as a Crusade or a Jihad will be declared! [/u]Should this happen, expect several nations to join together against the “heathens” (that is, anyone not of their faith). These power blocs can be quite formidable and very strong opponents. Pagans, having drawn the short straw, will be equally despised by all religions of the Book. But that’s not all, as heretics can appear if you lack faith in some of your regions. If you don’t put them in check, they will spread their twisted faith while shortening the lifespan of your clergy social class. Christian nations can be backed by several Holy Orders, which will help them in case of conflict. The fact they get richer and more powerful over time is probably a coincidence of no importance for you the King. Rest assured, following a religion is also providing ample benefits, like a more docile population, plus extra Legacy Points, the measure of victory! We cannot wait for you to immerse yourself in the game, and we are confident that you will love Field of Glory: Kingdoms as much as we do. Stay tuned for more updates.
