Plan your next Field of Glory: Kingdoms session
Our independent guide delves deeper into each core system of Field of Glory: Kingdoms, offering observations and comparison exercises that let you refine strategies based on the game’s documented mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Authority Balance Drill
Track authority and disorder over ten turns, noting how different edicts affect each metric. Compare outcomes when focusing on building versus warfare to see which approach stabilises your realm faster.
- Keep an eye on your authority as you govern your royal domain.
- Issue edicts to construct buildings before launching wars.
02 / THE GUIDE
Dynasty Planning Session
Create a succession chart with multiple heirs, then simulate potential crises. Observe how partner choices shape your line of succession.
- Plan your succession early, since having an heir is no guarantee of a peaceful transition.
- Weigh political alliances when selecting a partner for your heir.
03 / THE GUIDE
Religious Tension Mapping
Plot neighboring factions' religions on a map and record tension spikes. Test diplomatic actions versus pre‑emptive war to gauge which reduces conflict risk.
- Watch neighbouring realms of different religions, as tensions with them can lead to war.
- Protect holy cities to avoid triggering large‑scale religious wars.
04 / THE GUIDE
Population Control Audit
Select a region and record peasant, noble and middle‑class numbers. Observe how the population of each class changes as you administer the region.
- Focus on keeping the lower social classes under control before turning attention to the nobles.
- Track regional populations to manage each social class effectively.
05 / THE GUIDE
Unit Composition Experiment
Compose three armies with differing ratios of knights, spearmen and crossbowmen. Export each to Field of Glory II, run a battle, and compare results to identify effective mixes.
- Mix unit types to cover both melee and ranged needs.
- Use the Field of Glory II export feature for critical engagements.
