You need to make the roads to connect the different parts of your ever-growing realm. You're trying to take over the world, nudging out rivals with force or arms or reputation.Īnd it's not just buildings you're placing. You're not just putting buildings within some walls and trying to defend yourself. Well there's city building involved, but it's a lot more complex than that. Yes, there are scraps, and they're more interactive than your usual free to play city building, but it's building, infrastructure, and God-like terraforming that you'll spend most of your time doing.Īnd you know what, it's actually really bloody good. You're flattening out the land, harvesting crops, mining rocks, chopping down trees, building roads, and making sure there are enough houses and slums for your population to live in.
It's kingdom building that takes centre stage here. And there are battles, but they're not at the core of the game. There's war here, but it's not exactly total. Total War Battles: Kingdom has a pretty unwieldy name, but interestingly it's the fourth word that's the one you need to focus on.
