Great Houses of Calderia is arriving to Early Access on August 30, which is also when the Steam Strategy Fest is happening. This announcement from studio Resistance Games comes after a rather successful Founders Beta launch. With early access, the hope is to invite more players to Calderia.
The game is inspired by the Mediterranean Renaissance with players taking charge of a noble family which plans on ruling the entire Calderia. To ensure a lasting legacy, players need to define the traditions of their house. There's a lot to do in the game like forming diplomatic relations or even entering into alliance with other houses either through war, trade, or marriage.
Meanwhile, to make sure that order in Calderia is maintained, players need to appoint key members of the family in different roles that include military, trade,a nd espionage. It's important to go at this in a strategic manner since these same members hold their very own destiny. The actions of these family members, whether they're bad or good, can dent even the strongest of alliances.
Key features that players can look forward to in the game are:
- Get to wage war with the real-time tactical battle system.
- Manage social conflicts with the unique resource management system.
- Organize trade agreements and send delegations even to competing houses.
- Define the traditions of the family over generations and gain unique advantages and weaknesses.
