Orléans

During the medieval goings-on around Orléans, you must assemble a following of farmers, merchants, knights, monks, etc.
to gain supremacy through trade, construction and science in
medieval France.

In the city of Orléans and the area of the Loire, you can take
trade trips to other cities to acquire coveted goods and build
trading posts. You need followers and their abilities to expand
your dominance by putting them to work as traders, builders, and
scientists.

Knights expand your scope of action and secure your
mercantile expeditions. Craftsmen build trading stations and tools
to facilitate work. Scholars make progress in science, and last but
not least it cannot hurt to get active in monasteries since with
monks on your side you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.

In Orléans, you will always want to take more actions than
possible, and there are many paths to victory. The challenge is
to combine all elements as best as possible with regard to your
strategy.
