Paladins of the Western Kingdom

Convert, defend, build — and never have enough workers for any of it.

West Francia, circa 900 AD. Saracens scout the borders, Vikings raid the coast, and you're recruiting a rotating band of townsfolk to develop the kingdom, build fortifications and spread the faith.

Widely considered the best of the acclaimed West Kingdom trilogy, and a proper brain-burner for 1–4.

Perfect for: Heavy euro lovers, medieval history buffs, and optimisers who enjoy a hard think
