[Question] Starting point?

[Finellach]

I was wondering about one thing, for example, how will you start the game? Will you choose a nation or will you choose a realm?

[Havoc]

as far as i know you will pick a nation.

[Nadine Knobloch]

You start as king of a small kingdom.

Frujin once stated that you can pick every nation on the map.

Yes, so also great kingdoms and empires...

Well there be a point system? Where we can find out who are more skilled players by there points?

[Elewyn]

nono, to explain it. There are entry points for in KoH. But those entry points should be explained better as starting years. They are 1000 A.D. as early middle age
1200 as high middle age
1350 as late middle age

in those starting points you can choose every nation/kingdom which is on a map until you conquere Europe, become voted emperor of Europe or loose.

It tends to question if years go on after those entry years. Answer is: NO It's like you play still in year 1200 (this is because devs don't want to have nor of those:
-knights in year 2539
-game must be stopped in 1453, so player will never be satysfied by ending the game and the game lasting will be limited by some stupid feature.

[IaMSky]

oo i see, like medievle total war, you have a period of time to take over europe and if you dont, you lose?

[Elewyn]

NO.
You start once and the only way how the game can stop you is to defeat you. You won't have to stop in certain year.

No year counter here.

You don't need to take care on what year is now, because there will be nothing like this

Can you please elaborate more on that...if you can that is. ;)
What defines "a small kingdom"? Will you choose a realm that will be your "small kingdom"?

What defines "a small kingdom"? Will you choose a realm that will be your "small kingdom"? As Frujin said, we will chose "nation", so that means every kingdom which emerges on the map. Not a realm, only in case that your kingdom contains of only one realm, what is possible ofcourse.

You can chose France in late period, so it will consist of f.e. 6realms, you can chose Switzerland in same period with only one realm, or Sultanate of Egypt with its 5 realms (all are just examples), or Byzantium in early period with f.e.15 realms...

but not f.e. a realm of Burgundy which is French in certain period. You can chose it if it is in late period as independent "kingdom"-Duchy of Burgundy

[Finellach]

So we will be able to choose only existing nations in specific time periods(those three mentioned)?!....Interesting.

You start as king of a small kingdom
Can't you start as a king of a big kingdom?

:king: I'm not a dev, but feel informated enough to tell you that you CAN. When you can play for ALL nations on the map, it means also the bigger ones ;)

[the_holy_knight]

Why use the bigger kingdoms? It is much more satisfying to beat all the bigger powers with your really small one!:bday: :bday: :bday:
