During the medieval goings-on around Orléans, you must assemble a following of farmers, merchants, knights, monks, etc. to gain supremacy through trade, construction and science in medieval France.. The focus is on the city of Orléans and the Loire area, where you can travel to other cities to get coveted wares and build counters.

The trick of the game is the way you trigger actions. This requires different people like farmers, craftsmen, knights or monks. The followers of each player in the course of the game itself.

Each profession has certain advantages. You need followers and their abilities to expand your dominance by putting them to work as traders, builders, and scientists. Knights expand your scope of action and secure your mercantile expeditions. Craftsmen build trading stations and tools to facilitate work. Scholars make progress in science, and last but not least it cannot hurt to get active in monasteries since with monks on your side you are much less likely to fall prey to fate.

You always want to do more than you can and there are many paths to victory.

The game offers a lot of possibilities: you can acquire additional actions, engage in one area or in the other. The challenge is to combine all elements as best as possible with regard to your strategy. "Orléans" is a treat for strategy fans.
