You can be a Queen or King, they will have buffs or cons. The time line is the year 1,000. There will be historical kingdoms and empire's. There will be a ton of events that will happen and able to change history if you can grow your own "kingdom".

I know everything won't be perfect but I put a lot of history into this, it won't be everything and not perfectly accurate. Make sure you take care of your kingdom and your people and grow.
