In order to conquer the enemy castles,
you need many knights. To keep their
morale up you need gold, and for the
weapons you need iron and coal. Iron
and coal are found in mines. Miners
must be fed and ore must be refined
and smelted in a foundry.

The food supply is provided by the fish-
ermen, farmers, and pig farmers who,
like most other workers, need tools.
These tools are made by blacksmiths. To
build huts, houses, and mines you need
construction materials and workers.

Our serfs do as you command; history

occupations; they can be bakers, farm-

The road to success isn’t easy. You
have to allocate your resources effi-

you will see your serfdom go up in
flames. Miners must be fed, knights
must be paid, workers need tools, fac-
tories need coal, and buildings need
wood and stone. . . .

you rule over a group of
serfs and try to expand your serdom.
You decide where you want your serfs
to construct buildings, how the roads
are made, where to search for raw
materials, and which enemies to attack.
You can modify numerous parameters
that affect the behavior of your serfs.

The computer handles the execution of
your decisions, sending the commands
to your numerous serfs. The serfs build
houses, cut down trees, work in the
mines, construct weapons and tools,
and dispatch construction materials in
the places where they are needed. They
defend their castles against enemy
knight attacks, provide the miners with
food, and do many other things!

The goal of the game is to build a pros-
perous, well-organized city and gain
control of the enemy cities. This sounds
simple to do, but in reality it is com-
plex. If you consider all the game’s
challenges inversely, that is from the
end of the game first, you may better
understand the game.
