About This Game

Lead your nation through the turbulent events that shaped the 17th century, and face the wars of religion, from the Jülich Succession to the Bohemian Revolt.

Relive History
An accurate reconstruction of the events, politics, society, and culture of the 17th century, with over 180 historical commanders and a hundred interactive events.

WeGo System
Play on equal footing with the AI thanks to the simultaneous turn-resolution system.

The Art of War
Lead massive pike-and-shot formations, artillery and cuirassiers. Plan your moves with a detailed list of orders and  formations, master the tactics of the age such as push of pike, volley fire and the caracole, and relive bloody battles and sieges

Relations matter
Cooperate with AI factions to secure access to the best commanders available, or to funds provided by international financial centers. Manage trade agreements, coalitions and the politics of the Holy Roman Empire.
The price of zeal

Balance your realm's religious fervor with your people's freedoms: repressive policies make your soldiers more effective and win over bankers and mercenary commanders, but they will bring revolt and ruin to your nation.

Reforms and Edicts
Build your reforms step by step and enact edicts that can help your nation grow.
