About the game

What you do in a play session

If you have ever felt lonely in Feudum and craved a challenge worthy of your skills, 'The Queen's Army' is here to shake things up. This expansion transforms your solo experience into an epic battle against Queen Ann herself, who is definitely not playing around. Forget basic solo modes; here, the AI is relentless, boasting unlimited resources and movement capabilities that will keep you on your toes. The premise is simple but brutal: you must save the Behemoth (the bewitched king) and rack up veneration points over five epochs, all while the Queen does everything in her power to thwart your progress and hunt the king down. The automa system is incredibly elegant and reactive, responding to your moves in a way that ensures you never feel fully in control. The game flows similarly to the multiplayer version with alternating turns, but the constant pressure from the Queen adds a strategic layer that demands precise hand management and positioning. If the king falls, the Queen turns her focus directly onto your band of rebels, turning the end-game into a desperate race for prestige. It is an expansion that raises the bar for difficulty and brings a smart, well-crafted AI to the table, developed with the help of industry experts to ensure every session is a unique and satisfyingly challenging puzzle. If you enjoy heavy games and want to test your limits against a machine that does not miss a beat, this is a must-have for your collection.
