Almost five hundred years of history unfold before you in Europa Universalis V, the latest version of one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Guide the destiny of any of hundreds of nations and societies in a simulated living world of unparalleled depth and complexity.

Europa Universalis V builds on the franchise’s core concept of developing and advancing nations from around a deeply researched historical world, adding more detailed diplomacy, a more sophisticated economic model, a revised military system and greater logistical depth that will challenge even the most experienced strategy gamers.

RULE a land of your choosing. Hundreds of nations are yours to command, as you guide the destiny of millions of people through the late Middle Ages up to the Age of Revolution - from the mighty Yuán Dynasty to the city-states of Italy, from the warring clans of feudal Japan to the Pope himself.
DECIDE which course your nation will take. Historical events and situations await as you chart a unique path through a new history written by your decisions. Experience The Hundred Years’ War, the Protestant Reformation, the collapse of old dynasties and rise of new ones.
EXPLORE alternate histories as you shape the world to meet your ambitions. What if England succeeded in pressing its continental claims? What if China pursued an overseas empire? What if Mongol supremacy in Russia persisted? Every action opens the possibility for an original history.

IMPOSE domestic peace in a divided realm. Keep your nation’s factions in line as Estates jockey for power in your nation. Offer privileges to one group of citizens while you limit the power of another, all in the service of keeping your population under control.
NEGOTIATE your way through an uneasy peace. Use diplomacy to entrench your dynasty across realms or build an invincible alliance. But remember that nations have no permanent friends - only permanent interests; so use your ambassadors carefully. Exact favors from friends, send threats to enemies, and keep an eye on everyone in-between.
CONQUER new lands to expand your borders. Wage War on those who impede your ambition in a completely new Europa Universalis military system. Start in the age of levies and mercenaries and, through social development, evolve to vast standing armies and impenetrable fortresses. Choose skilled commanders to oversee both land and naval forces.

BUILD a strong economic infrastructure in the most detailed trade system yet seen in a Europa Universalis game. Dozens of goods and crops are available for production and trade on a map filled with new riches to discover. Invest in feeding a growing population or trade your surplus to less bountiful societies.
MOLD your society to meet the historical moment. Choose your societal values, with new options opening as the ages move on. Centralize power at court or share it with your nobles. Pursue a tolerant policy for all faiths or condemn heretics. Emphasize massed armies or an elite cadre of quality soldiers.
GOVERN a nation composed of many cultures and faiths in a detailed simulation of the past. For the first time in Europa Universalis, populations are represented on the map in detail, so provinces may be divided by religion or culture. Your decisions will determine how these populations will fare under your leadership.

PREVAIL in the greatest strategic challenges of the past. Test your expertise in grand strategic planning on a worldscape larger and more detailed than seen in any previous Paradox Interactive game. Challenge yourself to outdo the most famous rulers of the past, eclipsing their grand accomplishments and building your own vision of a richly detailed globe.

Memoriapolis is a city-builder where you shape your town across time. Manage resources, make political decisions, and deal with the different factions moving in.
Your ultimate goal? Stay in power until the end of the Age of Enlightenment... and leave your mark in history by building a grand City's Fair during the Industrial Revolution.
But beware—your citizens have needs, factions grow in influence, and historical events can shake everything up. Lose control, and it's game over!
Time moves forward—whether you're ready or not. Your adventure spans five historical eras: Antiquity - Middle Ages - Renaissance - Age of Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution.
Each age lasts a number of in-game cycles before transitioning automatically. As your city evolves, so must your strategy. Some buildings can be upgraded to match a new era... others may need to go.
Think carefully: what will you preserve, and what will you sacrifice to shape the future?

In Memoriapolis, there's no fixed grid or rigid control. Your city grows organically, and your citizens decide where they settle. This makes each playthrough feel natural, dynamic, and unique. You’ll need to adapt to their choices—while gently guiding them.

Use cultural buildings to influence the surrounding area and attract more people to grow your districts smartly.
There are 6 cultures in game (Military - Religion - Trade - Education - Production - Politics)

These cultures shape not just the buildings but also the citizens in your city. Over time, citizens will form factions. And as your city grows, so do these factions—and they’ll become your political partners… or rivals.
A strong faction unlocks new buildings and boosts growth. But if a faction becomestoo powerful, it may block your key decisions or worse... remove you from power. Stay smart. Stay flexible. And always keep your influence in check.

Build Wonders that stand the test of time — from the Library of Alexandria to the Notre-Dame, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and beyond.
Each Age holds its iconic masterpiece, tied to a culture, offering powerful bonuses to shape your legacy.
Let your city be remembered for centuries to come!

“Fields of Glory: Kingdoms is an excellent grand strategy that draws us directly into the two complex centuries that Europe experienced in the aftermath of the Great Schism.”

It is set in 1054, just after the Great Schism, and it encompasses more than two centuries of epic European, African, and Middle Eastern history.

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.",[2708],{"_16":224,"_225":2709,"_242":2712,"_244":214,"_27":214,"_245":132,"_246":247,"_248":249},[2710],{"_228":2619,"_229":2711,"_231":55,"_232":132,"_233":214,"_234":67,"_235":236,"_237":1751},"Field of Glory: Kingdoms - 38,99€","Buy Field of Glory: Kingdoms",{"_252":1751,"_253":1751,"_254":255,"_256":1754,"_258":132,"_259":214},"https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1985050/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1744020910",{"_264":2716},"Minimum:
