While most popular Grand Strategy games include more of the world, I like the goal for this one to focus on a specific location - in this case Iberia during the Reconquista. This allows for more detail and local specifics. There are multiple mechanics - managing a council, economy, army, diplomatic interactions, state and law decisions - but none feel overwhelming and I enjoy the population system. The graphics style is unique and at first I was mixed about it but find it enjoyable now. The music and sound design is also good. The game for what it is, especially made from a small studio delivers on it's premise. The launch had problems however. The game's graphics settings are oddly taxing so if you're planning to play it, adjust them, especially the "Decal texture resolution". There were also some game-breaking bugs that I encountered - such as a policy tension effect stacking on your country every time you reload a save, but the team began patching the problems the moment they were made aware of them which alleviated my frustration. The developers are responsive so I assume these issues will be resolved soon. I'm currently playing it in it's Early Access form so this is to be expected. Outside of the major countries, there isn't much flavour and the way you can interact with characters and your country seem to need some quality of life changes. Right now it might be a bit confusing when trying to figure out certain modifiers on your country. There was also no option do divorce your spouse when I played which meant my playthrough was over due to my barren wife and not having had changed the inheritance law. But again these things are getting addressed. The foundations of a great Grand Strategy game are there. The restriction of it including only Iberia and it's borderlands means the team won't be distracted or obligated to deal with irrelevant additions, resulting in unnecessary bloat. I assume we'll soon see an expansion of it's various mechanics once the current issues are resolved as they've been engaging with the community on Discord when it comes to what to tackle first in regards to it's content. While this review has enough for some people to dismiss the game - in the context of Grand Strategy historical games, the only thing surprising about the release of this game is that it's made by an indie studio. The genre is plagued by rushed releases by major studios with endless dlc adding features presumed to have been part of the base game on launch. The team behind this seems eager to develop the game further in a transparent and receptive manner and unlike a major studio, doesn't have the privilege to act with impunity. So their only route is to deliver on their words and actively engage with their customers. And it seems that's what they're doing. So overall I recommend it and hope it develops into a detailed representation of the period.

For a game that was only an idea two years ago, CoH's release is certainly promising for a small studio. While the scale of the game may be limited to 11th century Iberia, CoH takes the best elements of CK, EU and Vicky and implements them well with its own spin on the grand strategy genre. The devs also seems very receptive to feedback from the playtest, And have been honest about what they can and can't implement within their means. The transparency is refreshing when others studios in this genre seem unable to follow that example, all the while charging the consumer a premium. I'm looking forward to CoH's journey to full release, and have high hopes that Regalis Studio will craft a great grand strategy game, and will continue to listen to their players feedback.

Well. It's early early access, not a whole lot to see yet. I'll check in again in a few months and see how it's doing. But absolutely commendable effort, we need more Paradox-inspired games that aren't Paradox if you see what I mean.

It's a really good game even for an early acess ! My favorite aspect of the game is the art direction ! I really love the aspect of the map and the character design ! Even the icons have great details for their size (you made me laugh hard for the dwarf one) ! I really want to see more of this game and I hope you'll be able to continue working on it !

It's a good game with tons of soul, a tutorial explaining the game mechanics in a short and precise manner. I enjoy the ability to shape your council towards war or peace, either to improve your army to win a war NOW or to focus on improving the economy and technology in order to gain an advantage against your neighbours. The military system is really great, I can improve my army with specialized buildings on the provinces to get a higher quality army, on top of the random merc army of 900 men I can hire, I do want to see the enemy not just go back to their own capital after they lose a battle, if they have allies called into the war they should retreat alongside them instead, makes wars a bit too easy from what I have experienced. The country management aspect is done well, my only complaint would be to be able to look somewhere so it shows me what temporal modifiers are affecting me. AI doesn't act passively, countries do try(and sometimes fail) to take over others, I've seen the ai build buildings aswell after i give them money to try and secure an alliance/vassalage, or how the ai will try and link up their forces before engaging in battle. when you stare at the map for hours, art and music are vital to the experience, the characters, the MAP, the ui, the songs really help out a lot and inmerse you into medieval Iberia, something which the modern industry has toned down in favour of minimalistic ui and bland artstyle everywhere, I applaud what this game is. It's a good strategy game with a developer willing to listen to it's players(crazy thing in 2026), it being early access means that it can be made greater and better on top of what it already is.

Интересная игра. Много заимствований из Европы Универсалис 5, но и отличий хватает. Боевка отличается в лучшую сторону. Пока еще достаточно недоработок в плане отсутствия подсказок, разъяснений. Все приходится высчитывать и разбираться самому. Как в старое время 1990ых, когда не было ни гайдов, ни объяснений от разработчиков, ни нормальных мануалов. Интересно выбран период игры. Это первая половина 11 века, Реконкиста. Территория Пиренейского полуострова, борьба европейских провинций на севере и арабов на юге. Схожий принцип стратификации населения на вероисповедание/раса/социальный статус как Европе 5. Организация производства ресурсов и оружия, лошадей. отстройка провинций. При чем раздельно сельская местность и столица каждого региона отдельно отстраиваются. Ассимиляция населения в титульную нацию, конвертация населения в свою религию. Исследование технологий особым образом. Содержание двора. Все это вызывает большой интерес. Кроме того, много заготовок на будущее (минорные и крупные реформы двора).

Has a good amt of CK influence and I enjoy the mechanics and premise of the game when it comes to choosing a "strategy" before field battles, financing & hiring councilmen, and set in medieval Spain. (lower decal texture btw game still buggy) CIERRA Y SANTIAGO, ESPAÑA
