Competing Baltic powers build wealth and armies to seize key trade hubs and win hegemony in the Northern Wars.

Gameplay

Grow your realm by collecting resources, buying infrastructure and units, recruiting court figures, and moving armies to take territories and fulfill your nation’s victory goals. You’re constantly weighing short-term cash and deals against the risk of being outspent, outmaneuvered, or betrayed when war breaks out.
