Bellfortis

From the Devs

Choose one side, stabilize your country, subjugate the surrounding rulers and build a strong and successful empire in this history inspired strategy game from the wild times of the early Middle Ages, when the first European kingdoms were trying to strengthen their power and resist the raids of savage tribes from the east and north.

How you achieve this is up to you - destroy your enemies by force or by clever politics and help those in need to win friends who will support you and will be devoted to you. Bellfortis combines a tactical turn-based map with realtime action combat.

This game is made by a lover of the Middle Ages and strategies like Total War: Medieval II, but also Crusader Kings III or the old Defender of the Crown or Centurion, which it is inspired by. But unlike Total War, the gameplay is much more intense and faster, with arcade battles and designed as an indie alternative for people who don't always have hundreds of hours to play (like the author himself :)

Game features:

• Transform yourself into a powerful ruler, play the game as a grand strategy, build provinces, recruit strong armies, conquer territories by force or clever politics.

• Use diplomats to improve relations, gain allies or even entire kingdoms. Spies, in turn, can help you gain information or even weaken the enemy.

• Take on opponents who make strategic decisions based on individual behavior. Some will be peaceful and focus on the betterment of their empire, others will act like dangerous conquerors.

• The world is affected by dozens of random events, some of which may have a positive effect on you, others negative. You can ignore them or use them to your advantage. Although ignoring the plague is probably not a good solution.. ;)

• Unlock new military units by constructing important military buildings in your provinces. Recruit them into your armies and use them in devastating battles.

• You culminate your efforts by winning real-time battles, where your armies clash with the enemy's in the heat of battle on the battlefield. Choose clever tactics or simply send your troops on the offensive.

• If you're defending, use defensive objects received from research. What will barrels full of oil and your incendiary arrows do to enemy soldiers? Experiment! :)

Enjoy the game! :)
