About the Game
The game in numbers
- 450 factions
- 400 units
- 600 Buildings
- 14 Religions/heresies
- 90 Cultural traits (all new)
Authority and Disorder
Administer your royal domain with the new Authority concept. Keep your population and vassals under control, promulgate edicts to construct buildings, and declare wars on your enemies.Dynasties and characters
As a ruler, prepare your succession by siring an heir with your spouse or with any other person of your choice. Having an heir is by no means a guarantee of a peaceful transition.Religion
Having a neighbor of a different religion will create tensions and sometimes wars, even for tolerant rulers. When the imbalance is too strong, diplomacy will take a backseat, and war will be declared. Lose too many holy cities and watch a Crusade or Jihad form up.Regions and population
Administer your population from the lowest peasants to the prestigious, powerful, and troublesome nobles. The social ladder is difficult to climb and your ability in keeping social classes under control is paramount to success.Warfare
Keep your borders protected and build an army of expert combatants. Knights, sergeants, spearmen, crossbowmen, and many more types of units can be used to fulfill your objectives.Field of Glory II Integration
If you want even more direct control, Field of Glory: Kingdoms lets you export and load your battles into Field of Glory II: Medieval and then load the results back into the game.
Multiplayer
And once you think you are ready to be challenged, play against real opponents in one of the largest asynchronous multiplayer systems ever created.Screenshots

Thank you for your support!
Hello everyone,
A new patch has just been released! In this update we’ve improved balance, fixed a number of important bugs, and added some quality of life changes to make your experience smoother.
Please see below the full changelog:
Decisions
Reduced randomness of assassinate ruler RGD
More chance to have Absorb Vassal decision the more vassals you have Absorb Minor decision can't be used if the region is under siege (anti-steal exploit)
New event 'Royal Purse'
Warfare
Fix to retinue not costing any upkeep, as soon as they qualified for being a retinue
Regions and Buildings
Slaves Workforce have a 2% chance per turn to be gone. Harder to gain.
Haga Sophia can be reconstructed
Muslim Tribals and Nomads can build Sufi Brotherhood
Shaman can remove sick animals : strange sickness
Some confusion between the usage of naphtha (mainly for incendiary weapons) and tar (used for waterproofing and medicine) has been corrected. The Bulwark tower (high end T2 tower) uses Naphtha. Tar is used as a bonus in 14 buildings.
Solved the issue where conquering a region with a fortified structure (not allowed for your nation) blocked upgrades to better defensive structures.
Politics
Liege abandon claims on vassals land when forming one
Religion
Crusades and Jihad won't continue indefinitely.
Knightly orders are limited in troop numbers, based on several historical dates specific to each order.
AI
Exponential increase in interest for agricultural buildings as the population grows.
System
RNG improvement so that it becomes completely unpredictable.
Fix to national modifiers reset to their original duration upon reloading saved game
Localisation
Fix to some missing Spanish localisation
Fix to missing non-English texts
UI & QOL
Tooltip mentioning the building browser in the 'Pick your building panel' will not appear past turn 10 (remove clutter)
Trade Goods tab in the ledger improved: no redundant goods listed, more compact format, display of the number of goods, and sorting by descending trade income per line.
Thank you for your support!
