Feudalism II

Feudalism II takes the first game's build-an-army loop and widens it in every direction — a larger world, more nations to fight for and against, and far more control over who is in your squad and what they're carrying.

Towns are the heart of it. Take one and you can recruit there, trade there, and use it as a staging post for the next push. Lose one and you'll be buying your way back in. Your own character fights in the line with everyone else, so kitting yourself out matters as much as kitting out your troops.

What you'll be doing

• Choose a nation and campaign across a much larger map
• Hire, equip and manage a squad of specialised fighters
• Capture towns to unlock new recruits and traders
• Hunt down better weapons, armour and rare items
