Every day your people will gather in the throne room and you will have to provide guidance, support, and supplies. What is more, you need to rebuild your castle, build your troops, and keep your family safe in the impending war. "Defenses cost gold, be they generals or ballistae for the castle walls, and everyone visiting will want something/ Improving your castle may be costly, but it’ll be vital to fight back the encroaching darkness."
The game is also about balancing the whims of your family, as well as the Lords of your Kingdom. You will need the support of the local Lords or you’ll lack gold, troops, and the supplies.
