NEW MUSIC A whole little band now plays: fiddle, tin whistle, recorder, lute, harp, voices, a droning hurdy-gurdy, frame drum and tambourine. Real tunes you'll half know, and new ones in the same toe-tapping style: - In the village: The Maypole, a new jig, and Tempus adest floridum, the old spring song (the tune of Good King Wenceslas) - In the tavern, the market and the streets: The Irish Washerwoman, The Crooked Tankard and The Drunken Sailor - At court: The King Rides Out, a new procession, and Greensleeves - At sea and on the quay: The Drunken Sailor and Haul Away for Kingsport - In the church: a new hymn and the old carol, sung - At war: To the Banners, with drums - At the grave: a harp lament and Greensleeves on the harp - On the title screen: the new Mud & Crowns theme Your own music still keeps playing, and the volume is in the menu under Settings. WORKPLACES The picture follows your work: the throne room, the royal kitchen, the forge, a workshop for every trade, the inn, the church, the scriptorium, the stables, the mine, the quarry and more. You are painted there, and the place's name sits in the corner. THE PEOPLE YOU WORK BESIDE Every workplace has its own people, from the master down to the coal boy. Those far above you hardly know your name; your equals are easier to win. Start as a coal boy in the royal castle and climb to master cook. CLEARER CHURCH CAREERS Prioress (and Prior) now has its own card in Find Work, between Nun and Abbess, so you can see what it takes. BETTER PICTURES Everyone is redrawn with faces, hair, hands and clothes; women show their hair; rooms have light, shadow, cats, hens and a juggling jester.
Live a whole life in a medieval kingdom, one year at a time. Be born a serf in a muddy village, a smith's child, a merchant's heir or a royal prince. Each year you have three deeds: work your trade, court a sweetheart, pray, train, scheme, feast or march to war. Then turn the page and see what the year brings. A WORLD THAT LIVES WITHOUT YOU Kings age, marry and die. Heirs fight over empty thrones. Plague and famine sweep the counties, outlaws and knights make their names, and your neighbours have lives of their own. The chronicle tells you all of it. NEARLY 300 POSTS TO RISE THROUGH Farm labourer, apprentice, blacksmith, apothecary, monk, minstrel, thief, sailor, knight, merchant, royal guard, chancellor, pirate queen. Careers have real steps: learn the work in one post to earn the next, or find a way around it through noble birth, the king's favour or a powerful patron. SHIPS, TRADE AND HIGH OFFICE Captain a pirate ship and raid the coasts. Send trade runs across six markets. Serve the crown with duties of your own. WAR AND CONQUEST Raise an army, choose your tactics and take counties on a living map of nine kingdoms. Rule as a lord, then as a monarch with a council, taxes and decrees. LOVE, FAMILY AND DYNASTY Court, marry and raise children. When you die, carry on as your heir. Your graveyard remembers every life.
