- Guides - 30 June 2023

- Steam Deck Compatibility - 20 June 2023
Hello, we've been looking into Steam Deck Compatibility for The King's Campaign and, while it may be some time before Valve do an official review, we believe the game will be at least Playable on Steam Deck and the changes we've made mean that Verified status is possible The King's Campaign is a spinoff of Medieval Kingdom Wars, as it's a standalone version of the Royal Blood DLC campaign, with the other DLC added in as a bonus! As such, we can use Medieval Kingdom Wars' Steam Deck Compatibility review as a basis for improving The King's Campaign Valve's testing shows that Medieval Kingdom Wars is Playable on Steam Deck. Meaning the game is functional on Steam Deck, but might require extra effort to interact with or configure The areas that stopped Medieval Kingdom Wars getting Verified status are as follows: This game sometimes shows mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam-Deck controller icons…
- Battle Locations - 12 June 2023
In The King's Campaign there are a near endless variety of battle locations, with over 350 cities that you can defend or siege, countless battlefields between cities and even ship-to-ship combat We achieved this through a combination of level design and procedural generation Large Cities There are 6 large city designs, each with European and North African variants These are used for major cities like Paris and Fez Small Cities There are 20 small city designs (each with 5 levels of advancement), placed in procedurally generated surroundings with variation through: - environs/biome (e.g. desert, oak forest) - wall set used - wall progression - orientation of city - position of city and enemy camps Battlefields There are also battles outside of cities, where armies can encounter each other in the field These are procedurally generated with different environments/biomes Ship-to-Ship At sea,…
- Release Date Announced - 1 June 2023
Bad Logic Studios and Reverie World Studios are pleased to announce that our medieval strategy game The King's Campaign will be released on Steam on July 13th 2023. The King's Campaign is an updated standalone version of the Royal Blood DLC campaign for Reverie World Studios' top-selling game, Medieval Kingdom Wars, and includes the expanded map from the game's Greater World DLC and the optional Zombie Mode from the DLC of the same name. The King's Campaign combines Grand Strategy and RTS gameplay as players rule a kingdom in a campaign to conquer medieval Europe and North Africa, and must build up their cities, engage in diplomacy and command their armies to defend their realm and expand their empire. With The King's Campaign being a separate version to Medieval Kingdom Wars, it's allowed us to updateit and add features requested by players that would have otherwise adversely affected…
- Manual Saving - 26 May 2023
As you may know, The King's Campaign is an updated standalone version of the Royal Blood DLC campaign for Medieval Kingdom Wars One of those updates is to add Manual Saving of the campaign to the game, allowing players to go back to an earlier version of their campaigns if they find they've gone down the wrong This was an often requested feature for Medieval Kingdom Wars but it wasn't added as there was a chance it would break existing saved games for thousands of players. A version of manual saving was eventually added to Kingdom Wars 4 as we were able to do that early enough in development to not affect too many players adversely. With The King's Campaign being separate to Medieval Kingdom Wars, we've been able to add an updated version of manual saving to the game without having to worry about existing saves This should hopefully give players a better experience playing The King's Ca…
- Tech Tree Updates - 14 May 2023
As you may or may not know, The King's Campaign is an updated stand alone version of the Royal Blood DLC campaign for Medieval Kingdom Wars One of those updates relates to the Tech Tree for The King's Campaign, which has been re-organized to be based around buildings and their respective units and resources Each chain of techs starts with a building which needs to be unlocked in order to be able to construct it in your towns and cities For example, you unlock the Barracks (which also unlocks the Billman and Maceman) and additional techs are then available to unlock the Voulgier and Swordsman and provide upgrades for those units Another example is the Stone Mine, which allows stone production in RTS mode and provides an income on the World Map, with subsequent techs enabling the building of Stone Walls and improving mine efficiency Some buildings are unlocked by default, including the Ma…

- Coming Soon - 30 March 2023
Hello! The King's Campaign is coming soon! So we thought we'd answer a few questions What is The King's Campaign? The King's Campaign is a hybrid of Grand Strategy and Real-Time Strategy gameplay set in Medieval Europe and North Africa, where you play as the ruler of one of 28 kingdoms and you manage your cities, engage in diplomacy and direct your armies on the world map before plunging into battle and commanding your troops directly on the battlefield. Do I need to own Medieval Kingdom Wars? No. The King's Campaign is a separate standalone version of the Royal Blood DLC campaign for Medieval Kingdom Wars, and includes the expanded map from the Greater World DLC. So you could buy either The King's Campaign or Medieval Kingdom Wars + DLC, but you don't need both. What if I already own Medieval Kingdom Wars? If you already have Medieval Kingdom Wars then just get the DLC. It might also b…
