Get ready to become the ruler of a rising kingdom and give orders through the eyes of nobility. The servants play a role in constructing buildings and harvesting fields, and invoking spells. While harvesting the fields enhances the food supplies, the magic spells protect the castle from threats. Use the terrain for fighting advantages to expand the kingdom across different regions.
