Crown of Hispania : A Grand Strategy Game
Discover Iberia in the 11th century, a region disputed between Christian kingdoms and Moorish lords.
Set in an Iberian peninsula torn by conflict, ambition and intrigue, Crown of Hispania places you at the heart of the golden age of medieval chaos. As Christian kingdoms attempt to reclaim lands lost to the Moors, the balance of power constantly shifts between fragile alliances, fervent crusades and calculated betrayals.
As a noble of this tumultuous era, you'll have to write your own legend. Every decision, whether made on the battlefield, in the council chambers or in the shadows of a conspiracy, will shape your dynasty and determine your place in history. Will you consolidate your authority over your lands, or let your vassals tear each other apart for power? Will you take back Toledo and Granada for Christianity, or negotiate a fragile coexistence with your Muslim neighbors?
Core Features :
A pivotal era in medieval history: Explore the Reconquista, the clash of cultures, and the political intrigue of a period when Christians, Muslims and Jews coexisted while vying for domination of the peninsula.
Play a great house or a modest dynasty: Take the throne as king of LeĆ³n, Castile or Aragon, or take control of a Muslim taifa to rebuild Al-Andalus.
Diplomacy and plotting: Forge alliances, arrange strategic marriages and foil the plots of your rivals - all the while keeping an eye on your ambitious vassals.
A multicultural challenge: Manage religious and cultural tensions between Berbers, Sephardim, Mozarabs and other peoples of the region. Ensure the loyalty of your subjects while coping with external pressures.
Crusades and jihads: answer the call of the Holy Cross to repel the Moors, or fight to preserve your lands from Christian kingdoms.
Storytelling: Each game is unique, and your choices determine the fate of your family and lands in a dynamic world where nothing is set in stone.
Plunged into an era where faith, betrayal and ambition dictate the course of events, will you be able to navigate through the storms of history to establish yourself as a true ruler? Or will you become a mere footnote in the chronicles of the past?
