Far different from strategy game titles overflowing with advertisements and “blood-sucking” players nowadays, Clovis appears like a new wind, bringing you back to the Middle Ages period full of political intrigues and great expeditions. I am truly impressed when this game dares courageously to remove meaningless waiting timers, allowing players to immerse themselves completely into the role of a true king or emperor. Whether you want to become legendary King Arthur or mighty Ragnar Lodbrok, every strategic decision — from political marriage even to commanding troops on the Europe map — all lie neatly within your hands.
GRAND STRATEGY AND CONQUEST
The game opens up a deep political map, where you are not only a warrior but also a great ruler. The world conquest in this game requires a far-reaching vision, from managing small fragmented territories even to dominating all great powers from Paris to Constantinople.
- World conquest mechanics: Freely choose the starting point as a King of France or Roman Emperor to begin the journey of annexing neighboring nations through large-scale wars.
- Historic character interaction: Directly interact and hire real characters in history like John of Alexandria as advisors, helping increase depth for political decisions.
- Advanced technology research: Invest resources into researching breakthrough technologies and enacting new laws to consolidate internal strength for your kingdom.
MEDIEVAL LIFE SIMULATION
Beside the weapon factor, the game is also a very detailed royal life simulation, where “human harmony” plays an important role no less than “heavenly timing”. I notice that building a sustainable dynasty through bloodline relationships is exactly the key to maintaining power through many generations.
- Dynasty building system: Establish a long-lasting legacy by marrying daughters of powerful allies and passing down special skills to successors.
- Storytelling event generation: Experience random dramatic situations like dealing with bandits, organizing knight tournaments or even hosting subjects at lavish feasts.
- Strategic court intrigue: Use carefully planned political intrigues to punish traitors or consolidate your position in endless power conflicts.
