What cannot be done automatically is the whole campaign/province management.You do all this while drinking heavily, abusing your subordinates, bad-mouthing a baron sent to oversee your campaign, moving your headquarter around…At the moment, I think there's the sparkle of a gem in here, but someone dropped it in the outhouse and you…I really, truly, feel like I am afforded an opportunity to explore my own creative solution to the conflicts, within the confines…Why it fits
Check it if you want rpg, simulation filtered by single-player.
