You can choose from more than 600 premade characters and around 100 editable ones. There are also some hidden characters which you can either unlock by compleeting all the game which means to find all the items and events or the easiest way by introducing the secret characters names in the editable characters pannel. ||| You can start the game in any time period you want and use your best strategy skills to make your kingdom victorious throughout battles to conquer the land. You can start as beeing a free officer and work your way by doing good deeds under your ruler such as administrating the city in wich you are, doing this to gain fame untill becoming a ruler yourself, and so to win the Emperor's attention and ascending untill you get named a Emperor yourself. In the game you can also strenghten bonds between your character and others in the game up to the point of becoming sworn brothers which will improove your morale in battle, or on the contrary get your relation worse with someone until you become mortal enemies.
