Set at the end of the Carolingian Empire you will find Architects of the West Kingdom, designed by Shem Phillips. Player take on the role of royal architects competing to impress the king. By constructing various landmarks across the royal domain you hope to maintain your noble status.
Players will need to hire enthusiastic apprentices and collect plentiful raw materials while also keeping a watchful eye on their workforce. Temptation will come along in the form of thieves and black-market dealers. Will you be able to resist?
Architects of the West Kingdom is the first game in the West Kingdom Trilogy. It can be played independently of its counterparts, Paladins of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of the West Kingdom, also published by Garphill Games. You can also buy the Age of Artisans Expansion for it.
