The game is set for release in late September on both PC and PS4. This game comes from the creators of Gran Ages Rome and Imperium Romanum. I have been waiting for these types of games to make their arrival onto console. Good on Kalypso media... first Tropico 5 and now this. Well done!
From grandages.comIt is the year 1050 AD. At the beginning of the High Middle Ages development in Europe has seen an unprecedented level of progress and a rapidly growing population spreads across the length and breadth of the continent. New frontiers are explored, settlements founded and vast trading routes established. As the head of one of these small settlements, it falls upon you to lead your people towards greatness.
Explore a vast world, gather resources, encounter other societies and use your trading expertise to expand and make your fortune. Found new cities, progress your nation with inventive technology and protect your trade routes against barbarian attacks until you are powerful enough to begin your conquest over Europe and forge a bold new empire.
Grand Ages: Medieval is a real-time strategy game from Gaming Minds.

Apparently this Thursday Kalypso will be streaming live gameplay on Twitch.
7 empires can grow during this time period. I guess this is a zoomed out map. In others I have seen North Africa colonized, but that is not the case here???

Steeler mentioned he might be interested in this game. It does support up to 8 person multiplayer. Future TGT game?
Warfare looks chaotic. The devs said you can only have 200 troops but I'm not sure if that is for one town or your whole empire.
I will be creating a Briton named Arthur.
Original, I know.

I'm interested but it'll have to be for PS4. My laptop is so old and outdated, it can barely run any games anymore. Plus I've been having issues with the hard drive slowly failing. So my PC gaming is officially dead until I get around to buying a new laptop or PC.
I think for my first empire I was going to start in Ireland or England. After my first play through definitely Scandinavia will be the starting point.Originally Posted by JeffHCross
I am interested but like Smooth I would definitely be on PS4.
Not a great clip and annoying hosts but does give some limited gameplay. The only thing I don't like is that on fast a game could be done in 10 hours. I will NOT be playing on fast!
Found this hour of start-up gameplay from a live stream last week. They are running the game on slow and showing the basic set-up.
That is my plan as well.
This could be interesting but only at $20 for me. I just don't know how much I would like this game and a full console price is high.
I will happily pay the higher amount simply because these types of games have been absent from consoles for 2 generations. I will be picking up Tropico 5 once I get paid. Do I need it? No! However, I want to support Kalypso media and see them continue to put these types of games on console. For me, Grand Ages Medieval is a combo of three games: Civ 5, Grand Ages Rome, and Tropico 5. This type of stuff and sports games are why I got into console gaming in the first place.
So this is like a medieval Tropico? I have Tropico 5 on the PS4 and love it.
The dude abides.
Definitely looks to be a challenge keeping track of everything (since it's not turn based like the Civ series).
