About This Game

Become a Strategeist and guide your country to glory

Take on the mantle of a Strategeist and grab the levers of power to shepherd your country through good times-- and bad. Your goal is to establish a powerful nation that stands proud and strong amongst the chaos of the world. However, you are not alone; other Strategeists also vie for dominion over the world and there are many among them who would happily see you fail.

Play one of a thousand countries on a spherical globe from 1206 to 1492.

Every nation has its own unique geographical situation, historical problems, and political context. How will YOU thread the needle?

Secure the seas with your navy.

Send your fleets to control the waves! Project force and deny your enemies the ability to do the same. Safeguard your trade routes, while plundering those of your opponents.

Administrate wisely by selecting government policies

Change policies and how your country operates.  But approach this carefully because changing them may anger some of your people.

Keep a wary eye on your institutions

Placate your institutions without giving up too much of your power.  They are always looking after themselves first and the wellbeing of the country is for them a distant concern.

Monitor current national issues

Pay attention to your current political situation-- there is always something going on.  Decide whether you should put your finger on the scales to try to influence the outcome or sit the current problem out.  Either way there will be consequences!

Scheme like Machiavelli, strategize like Bismarck, and when all else fails, unleash the dogs of war like Sun Tzu. You are.... a Strategeist.
