About

A world where Christian and Islamic forces clash over the Holy City of Jerusalem between the late 11th and 13th centuries. Under the Pope's call, knights, clergy, peasants, and mercenaries from all over set out on expeditions to reclaim the Holy Land, while Eastern powers like the Seljuks, Ayyubids, and Mamluks rise to oppose them. The Crusades unfold not merely as a religious conflict, but as a massive international war intertwined with faith, power, territory, trade routes, royal authority, and public sentiment. The player lives through this era as a Crusader knight, a Jerusalem defender, a merchant, a cleric, or a figure within the Islamic sultanates.
