About
Field of Glory: Kingdoms is the new game from award-winning studio AGEOD, makers of some of the best grand strategy games of all times. It is set in 1054, just after the Great Schism, and it encompasses more than two centuries of epic European, African, and Middle Eastern history.
The game in numbers
• 375 factions
• 325 units
• 600 Buildings
• 14 Religions/heresies
• 90 Cultural traits (all new)
Authority and Disorder
Administer your royal domain with the new Authority concept. Keep your population and vassals under control, promulgate edicts to construct buildings, and declare wars on your enemies.
Dynasties and characters
As a ruler, prepare your succession by siring an heir with your spouse or with any other person of your choice. Having an heir is by no means a guarantee of a peaceful transition.
Religion
Having a neighbor of a different religion will create tensions and sometimes wars, even for tolerant rulers. When the imbalance is too strong, diplomacy will take a backseat, and war will be declared. Lose too many holy cities and watch a Crusade or Jihad form up.
Regions and population
Administer your population from the lowest peasants to the prestigious, powerful, and troublesome nobles. The social ladder is difficult to climb and your ability in keeping social classes under control is paramount to success.
Warfare
Keep your borders protected and build an army of expert combatants. Knights, sergeants, spearmen, crossbowmen, and many more types of units can be used to fulfill your objectives.
Field of Glory II Integration :duel
If you want even more direct control, Field of Glory: Kingdoms lets you export and load your battles into Field of Glory II: Medieval and then load the results back into the game.
Multiplayer
And once you think you are ready to be challenged, play against real opponents in one of the largest asynchronous multiplayer systems ever created.

Embark on a Faith-Filled journey with Field of Glory: Kingdoms

Development Update
Attention all strategy game enthusiasts!
Get ready to dive into the exciting world of Field of Glory: Kingdoms. This is the latest addition to our popular Field of Glory franchise, from veteran development studio AGEOD.
Field of Glory: Kingdoms takes you on an epic journey through the Middle-Ages historical period, just after the Great Schism between the Orthodox and Catholic Christians. Players will experience more than two centuries of European, African, and Middle Eastern history in a WEGO turn-based strategy game that promises to be both challenging and enjoyable.
One of Kingdoms new major features is the introduction of religions.
Each nation and population can be of one of the Abrahamic religions, pagan, or even heretic, and this can be a determining factor for your nation and your relations with others.
Indeed, having a neighbor of a different religion will create tensions and sometimes wars. Some rulers were tolerant, but this was more an exception than the norm.
Religion was an important aspect of medieval life and is well-represented in Kingdoms. There are five Holy Cities, one of which is shared by three monotheistic religions and will foster friction and tension, perhaps leading to a crusade or a jihad.
In particular, Christianity and Islam will often clash, as they both claim the Holy City of Jerusalem. When the imbalance is too strong, diplomacy will take a backseat, as a Crusade or a Jihad will be declared! Should this happen, expect several nations to join together against the “heathens” (that is, anyone not of their faith).
These power blocs can be quite formidable and very strong opponents. Pagans, having drawn the short straw, will be equally despised by all religions of the Book.
But that’s not all, as heretics can appear if you lack faith in some of your regions. If you don’t put them in check, they will spread their twisted faith while shortening the lifespan of your clergy social class.
Christian nations can be backed by several Holy Orders, which will help them in case of conflict. The fact they get richer and more powerful over time is probably a coincidence of no importance for you the King.
Rest assured, following a religion is also providing ample benefits, like a more docile population, plus extra Legacy Points, the measure of victory!
We cannot wait for you to immerse yourself in the game, and we are confident that you will love Field of Glory: Kingdoms as much as we do. Stay tuned for more updates.

Field of Glory: Kingdoms - The Balance of Authority
Tue, 23 May 2023
The second Dev Update is out now
Field of Glory: Kingdoms takes players on a journey through over two centuries of European, African, and Middle Eastern history set in 1054, just after the Great Schism.
With hundreds of factions at the start and a plethora of buildings, players will have ample opportunities to build and expand their kingdom.
One of the key features of Field of Glory: Kingdoms is the Authority and Disorder system, which allows players to manage their kingdom and maintain order.
With the Authority concept, players can maintain control over their population, promulgate edicts, and declare war on their enemies. However, be careful not to let your realm fall into disorder, as this can result in challenges from your heirs and unruly vassals. As one of the main tools to measure your progress, Authority will also allow a change in your system of government, and here Kingdoms offers many more possibilities than in its predecessor, Empires.
Authority is perhaps the most important new concept in Kingdoms, as its influence literally courses through all game elements - from loyalty to succession to warfare.
But the game presents a delicate balance between maintaining control and expanding your kingdom, as expansion will create tension with powerful neighbors. Indeed, a large Authority rating will make you clash with nearby similarly minded nations.
So, to become a formidable force, you will have to walk the thin line between being small enough to keep things firmly under control and large enough to progress to a more formidable status.
Will you be a humble county, or will you raise to be the equal of the mighty Byzantine Empire? Nothing is written in stone and even as a modest Northumbrian noble, you too can become the King of England. Or perhaps you would rather ascend from being a Novgorod prince to the King of all of Rus’? There will be only one in such a position though and expect a fierce struggle to ensue.
The Authority and Disorder systemwhile being very flavourful and thematic to middle-age games also prevents easy snow-balling and captures the rise and fall of empires/kingdoms.
