Field of Glory Kingdoms and Field of Glory Medieval make for a truly GLORIOUS combination, and you can get the newly released Kingdoms right here: store.steampowered.com/app/19...
Thank you so much to Slitherine for sponsoring this video!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Field of Glory Kingdoms is not just any strategy game - I'd go so far as to say it is one of the best grand strategy games in recent memory, precisely because of how deep it goes, and how fun its mechanics are. It definitely took me a while to understand just how everything works and how I could take my puny petty kingdom to a better government rank, but once it clicked, I felt that sweet sense of addiction only truly deep strategy games offer.
Set in the high middle ages but offering four different campaigns set in Iberia, Europe, and the Middle East, Field of Glory Kingdoms offers something for every medieval enthusiast out there, especially if you love immersive mechanics, challenging gameplay, and the ability to take charge of so many different medieval realms of this era. Add on to that the different faction mechanics, unique modifiers and the awesome crusade and religious war events, not to mention the near-seamless integration of Kingdoms and Medieval, and you really do have one of the coolest and deepest medieval grand strategy games ever made. We even have family trees, loyalty systems and internal decision mechanics here, and you know, the more you play, the more this game opens up to you. Field of Glory Kingdoms is absolutely a contender for best strategy game of 2024!
Make sure to check out the game on Steam now, and let me know your thoughts on this game and this video! I'd appreciate it if you also remembered to leave a like and subscribe to the channel if you enjoy what I do! :)

Every time i watch a game that has great campaign maps and mechanics like this i just wish one thing….TOTAL WAR BATTLES!

You’ll quickly realize how refreshing this is though! It becomes really intense when you realize how tactical this is!

>TOTAL WAR BATTLES! It _kinda_ has them. If you also own Fields of Glory II: Medeival (Slitherin's medeival wargame) you can import battles from Kingdoms and play them tactically. With one nuance: the wargame is turn based as it uses Osprey's Fields of Glory tabletop wargeme rules.

I have played this game for over a hundred hours now and I have greatly enjoyed it. There are some major issues that need to be addressed by the Slitherine team however. There must be a better way to reduce disorder in your provinces. Just try playing the Byzantine Empire. Even more significant is the inability to retreat from a battle. I would also like to see some type of mechanic to manage your dynasty - at least the ability to designate your heir. Still overall this is a great little game with an amazing amount of replayability. I would definitely like to see some changes, but I still highly recommend the game,

@AndysTake 10 күн бұрын

I agree, as far as I know the devs are hard at work with listening to the community and figuring out what to do first while maintain the game’s difficulty. Personally I’d love some more clarity on the map with more use of fog of war etc, that would be neat! But wow, over 100 hours, what’s your favorite faction then? Or factions?

We need some modders to connect Field of Glory tactical titles with Paradox games campaigns, just like team of Crusader Wars did with Attila. I would love to play FoG long and demanding battles with good campaign on for example Imperator:Rome.

@gavinwoods2737 10 күн бұрын

I had a great campaign as Normandy. When FoG Empires first came out I struggled with it and gave up early on but went back to it later and had a great time. Kingdoms was on my wishlist as soon as it was announced. There's more mechanics compared to Empires but the gameplay is essentially the same. Both games lose a lot if you don't engage with importing the battles.

@AndysTake 10 күн бұрын

Yes I feel the same!

@kaisaraz4403 10 күн бұрын

What I want to know is, if you were playing a multiplayer campaign with someone on Kingdoms, could you still export the battles onto Medieval and perhaps even fight one another?

@AndysTake 9 күн бұрын

Sadly no, when playing multiplayer, the battles cannot be manually fought :(

@lemurking6896 10 күн бұрын

Having to own a separate game and open it up feels like a major misstep. Would've loved for manual battles to be playable in Kingdoms.

@seraphx26 10 күн бұрын

Isn't this like the other games where if you want to play battles you have to export them? I'd love a game in this series where the battles are integrated, but according to the steam page it's like the other games and battles just aren't worth doing that way IMO.

@AndysTake 10 күн бұрын

The game exports them itself, it even opens the other game’s launcher directly for you. So all you have to do is click like 2-3 buttons and that’s that, and you’re in the tactical battles! It’s a really great feature, and even though it would absolutely be nice if it was *fully* integrated, I do believe two entirely different teams work on these two games. Imagine if SEGA owned both CA and Paradox. These are completely different games, but thanks to the SEGA connection and the mandate, CA and Paradox had the time and funding to create an official link between the games. This is how this game works - they’re two entirely different games, made by two entirely different studios, but made with a compatibility patch. We’re lucky to have this integration as far as I’m concerned :)

@notthatsrssrsly 10 күн бұрын

People misunderstand the battle system. There’s an auto battle system in the game. That’s the default and intended battle system. As a bonus they built an integration with their other series that allows you to play out battles. But it is not needed to play the game.

@seraphx26 9 күн бұрын

@@notthatsrssrsly I didn't misunderstand anything, I own a previous game in the series and know how it works, that's why I'm not interested in buying another unless/until the turn based battles are integrated.

The game is probably good, as the older entrances in the series were. But for me, it suffers from the same problem as its predecessors. Namely, the idle animations of the small human figures both on the stategic and the tactical maps look as if they all are suffering from Huntington's or something. They can't stand still for a second! To see what I'm talking about, check the video from @1:50 and on. The archers along the lower edge of the map are the worst. On the tactical map where they stand in groups they are unbearable. For me, this constant fidgeting is a huge eye sore.

Wait. So they're only selling you the campaign game? In order to play the full game you need to buy an entirely different tactical game else or its auto resolve? LMAO. No wonder I never heard of this game because the proposition is totally shit. It took him 80% of the video to mention this huge catch too. Hard pass. This game is not like Total War, its more like Half War.

@Another_opinion_ 10 күн бұрын

The game is a campaign game only. It is sold as such. It happens to offer a chance to export its battles onto a different engine if you own it. I agree that it should not be marketed as a Total war style game (the company doesn't do it, just the usual KZfaqrs). It really isn't.

@@Another_opinion_ You are correct. As soon as anyone mentions Total War, my expectations are set and the fact that tactical combat isn't included struck me a rug pull. To me this game is stuck between a rock and a hard place. It doesn't have tactical combat like Total War and it doesn't have the well established systems and emergent gameplay of CK2. The market for this game seems small, unless I already own Fields of Glory, there's no reason to pull the trigger because this is actually a DLC for that game.

@Steven-cf1ty Күн бұрын

Why are so many people so quick to cry that there was an optional integration feature with a game that the developer didn't work on? You're not meant to export most battles to FoG Medieval, it's just an optional feature for fun. Y'all have brain rot from total war or something
