What is Grand Ages: Medieval?

Grand Ages: Medieval is a real-time strategy game developed and published in 2015. It's set in the high middle ages, allowing players to control one of several European factions and build a mighty empire through trade, diplomacy, city-building, resource management and conquest.

Gameplay revolves around building up your hometown into a sprawling city, balancing needs like food, wood, stone, iron and gold. Expanding territory allows more villages and resources to be utilized. You can train military units like spearman, archers and catapults to invade rivals or defend your domain.

Diplomacy plays a role as forging alliances, trading resources, and sometimes waging war is needed to grow influence and territory in medieval Europe. Special resources like stone and iron also unlock advanced buildings, improving your military power and economic might.

There is also a story-driven campaign that has you complete scenarios battling Vikings, members of the Holy Roman Empire, France, the Papal States and more. Side quests, custom battles, trading missions and randomly generated maps provide solid replay value.

Reviews praised Grand Ages: Medieval for its attention to detail and emphasis on building a strong economy and infrastructure. While some found the pace slow, most strategists enjoyed the old-school challenge and depth of expanding their empire through cunning trade and diplomacy as much as martial force.
