Forum Games / Age of Charlemagne - 781 AD
« on: September 24, 2016, 04:46:33 AM »Europe is in war, the sons of Pepin are fighting over who will be the true ruler of Francia, the Kingdom of Asturias is facing down against the Umayadd threat in Hispania while the Byzantines are trying to fight off the pagans and muslims who contest the borders of the Byzantine Empire. Will you lead Francia to the glory it deserves? Maybe you will help the Byzantine Empire bring back the glory of the long lost Roman Empire or will you be the one to fight off the Umayadd threat in Hispania to claim the land for yourself. The possibilities are endless - but what will YOU do?

Integrity
Age of Charlemagne does not have a tech tree, policy list, or similar, nor does it utilize hard numbers for economy and military. However, it DOES have a mechanic called Integrity. Integrity is a measure of how centralized and stable your nation is, and how close your nation is from simply falling apart into isolated barbarians with no ruler. Integrity may be reduced by succession crises, constant war, internal strife, plotting, and more; increasing it is more difficult, and requires being at peace. Increasing integrity may disgruntle the nobility, but it can also help barbarians reform to a feudal kingdom. It is a scale from zero to five, as follows:
Ø - Anarchy You are essentially no longer leading your nation. | I - Collapsing The monarchy is barely on the verge of falling apart. |
II - Disparate Although there is certainly bickering among the | III - Stable The nation is stable. There is no immediate risk of |
IV - Unified Not only is the realm unified, but it's been decently | V - Absolute The land is essentially an absolute monarchy. |
