Crown of Hispania : A Grand Strategy Game

Discover Iberia in the 11th century, a region disputed between Christian kingdoms and Moorish lords.

Set in an Iberian peninsula torn by conflict, ambition and intrigue, Crown of Hispania places you at the heart of the golden age of medieval chaos. As Christian kingdoms attempt to reclaim lands lost to the Moors, the balance of power constantly shifts between fragile alliances, fervent crusades and calculated betrayals.

As a noble of this tumultuous era, you'll have to write your own legend. Every decision, whether made on the battlefield, in the council chambers or in the shadows of a conspiracy, will shape your dynasty and determine your place in history. Will you consolidate your authority over your lands, or let your vassals tear each other apart for power? Will you take back Toledo and Granada for Christianity, or negotiate a fragile coexistence with your Muslim neighbors?

Core Features :

• A pivotal era in medieval history: Explore the Reconquista, the clash of cultures, and the political intrigue of a period when Christians, Muslims and Jews coexisted while vying for domination of the peninsula.

• Play a great house or a modest dynasty: Take the throne as king of León, Castile or Aragon, or take control of a Muslim taifa to rebuild Al-Andalus.

• Diplomacy and plotting: Forge alliances, arrange strategic marriages and foil the plots of your rivals - all the while keeping an eye on your ambitious vassals.

• A multicultural challenge: Manage religious and cultural tensions between Berbers, Sephardim, Mozarabs and other peoples of the region. Ensure the loyalty of your subjects while coping with external pressures.

• Crusades and jihads: answer the call of the Holy Cross to repel the Moors, or fight to preserve your lands from Christian kingdoms.

• Storytelling: Each game is unique, and your choices determine the fate of your family and lands in a dynamic world where nothing is set in stone.

Plunged into an era where faith, betrayal and ambition dictate the course of events, will you be able to navigate through the storms of history to establish yourself as a true ruler? Or will you become a mere footnote in the chronicles of the past?

AD 1035: The Death of Sancho III of Pamplona

My dear sons,

May divine grace guide you in your duties, and may peace reign over your actions. On this day when the future of our kingdom is taking shape at the dawn of my last days, I address these words to you so that you may find wisdom and strength in your mission as sovereigns.

In those blessed times, when our Lord allowed me to rule over the lands of Pamplona and far beyond, I worked for the unity of the kingdoms and the greatness of our peoples. By consolidating alliances and repelling external threats, I have sought to establish a just order where everyone can live under God's protection and according to His laws.

But remember, dear sons, that power is a weight as heavy as it is glorious. You will inherit vast and diverse lands: the green hills of Pamplona, the fertile plains of Castile, even the strongholds of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza. But with these territories come responsibilities. Listen to the needs of your subjects, fortify your citadels and respect the Church, for she is the rock on which our kingdom rests.

It's essential that you work hand in hand. Unity is strength, and dissension between brothers only sows chaos and weakness. Honor our ancestors, who sometimes let their divisions weaken our lands.

I also urge you to continue the work I have undertaken to reform the Church, for it alone guarantees the moral and spiritual order of our peoples. Defend her rights, fight heresies, and ensure that her bishops are men of piety and integrity.

Finally, never forget that our kingdoms are not possessions, but responsibilities entrusted to us by God. Govern with justice, honor and mercy. Listen to your advisors, but above all, keep faith in the One who watches over us all.

May the light of our Lord illuminate your paths and guide your decisions.

Sancho III, known as “el Mayor”, King of Pamplona and servant of God.

Current Development Progress 

Crown of Hispania is in the PROTOTYPE development phase, which means that we started developing the game a few months ago, and are testing different ways of coding the game design.

We have completed a detailed topographical map with over 300 provinces, meticulously designed to reflect the diverse terrain of the Iberian Peninsula and its neighboring regions. 

Here, army movements are unrestricted, allowing for dynamic strategies influenced by topography, such as mountains, rivers, and plains, which play a critical role in battles and resource distribution. Each province is unique, with its own resources, population, and strategic value, adding depth to economic and territorial management.

The core mechanics are fully designed, including advanced systems for diplomacy, cultural and religious integration, and warfare, guaranteeing a richly immersive experience. With your support, we aim to refine these elements, improve AI adaptability and deliver a game that evolves with your strategies, creating an unparalleled grand strategy experience.
