[2023] Tours & Tournaments - Feature Breakdown

Hello, Crusaders!

Less than a week to the release of Tours & Tournaments!

On May 11, you will be able to travel through your realm to check on your vassals. Attend royal weddings to demonstrate your loyalty to a distant lord. Or, if you are brave enough, enter competitions of body or mind in tournaments. As always, there are no guarantees, and danger still lurks around every corner. But with great risk, comes great renown...


Take a look at the video below presenting the feature breakdown for Tours and Tournaments!
