You are part of the history of Hohnack, a castle with a living history. Although it really exists and the map based on it, the map is not a model of Hohnack. The History is complete fictional.
My maps are more simulations than stratetic fights. As simulations, they are as real as possible und represents always the lifetime of a ruler. You are this ruler, and your task will be to survive the time. These times will be sometimes very peacefully ( ;.)) may be, to peacefully), sometimes you will have nearly no chance.
