It turns out you may lose a good chunk of your cities quite early in the game. And did I mention a huge empire? Yeah, about that.

This means that if you do not play your cards right, you may find yourself at war on all fronts. Just like the Teutons in the Teutonic campaign, you are absolutely detested by the majority of the factions.

Why? Beacause almost everyone hates your guts. With such good things, it won't take you long to win, will it? No, it won't be easy or quick to win. It has great units and a seemingly decent economy. Let's start from the most powerful faction, shall we? England owns a huge portion of the map. So this part may be a bit lengthy, but as England is such a big part of this game, I thought it would be appropriate to devote an enitre section to it. It fits the theme of the campaign perfectly and makes you feel like you're in the British Isles. It ranges from cheery highland bagpipes to somber Irish chanting. The only rebel settlements are in Scotland, and there is one down in Wales, but that's about it. Why? Because there are few rebel settlements, and thus you will be facing down other factions right from the get go. You will almost always find yourself ar war within turn 10 if you are playing a neutral faction, and if you're playing as England or one of the 'rebelling' factions, war is already going on from turn 1. You won't fight many battles other than sieges on those distant isles, so you need not trouble yourself too much with them. If you should invade either of those two places, you can expect some rough terrain.Ī small portion of the map is devoted to the islands on the western and northern coasts of Scotland. Scotland and Wales are a different story.In those two places, Scotland more than Wales, you have huge mountains, narrow passes, and lots of chokepoints.

England and Ireland are beautifully flat, so battles will normally be on even ground. The terrain varies throughout the British Isles. However, the road is long and there will be many difficult and challenging obstacles in your way, or will there? Let's examine this campaign. Playing as one of them, you will have to defeat your rivals and eventually crown yourself as King of Britannia. The year is 1258, and the British Isles are divided amongst 5 different nations: England, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, and Wales.
