Martin Luther, Life and Legacy

Its October 31st, 1517 and a monk in Wittenberg, Germany nails 95 Theses to a church door asking for reform. Soon, you'll be embroiled in religious upheavals, territorial conflicts, and high politics within the Imperial Courts of the Holy Roman Empire.

You reign as a German Sovereign, managing your realm's cities, determining your citizen’s religious and trade freedoms. Expand your realm by adding cities and needed resources scoring points along the way. Devise strategies to ensure your principality flourishes as events from the Reformation unfold.

But beware!

Fellow sovereigns know your weaknesses and may be devious. Without the support of influential 16th Century figures such as Pope Leo X, Charles V, or Prince Elector Fredrick III your realm could fall prey to their political, economic, and military attacks - stealing away your control and power.

Martin Luther, Life and Legacy is fast-paced - a perfect mix of luck and strategy. It entertains and informs you about the places, events, and personalities of the Protestant Reformation.

You’ll have lots of fun creating your realm of cities, rallying your citizens behind a cause, directing influential leaders, and strategizing to complete events that formed the foundation of today’s religious freedoms. You'll gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for those who sacrificed to provide the religious liberty Christendom enjoys today.

You'll have important decisions to make as your fellow sovereigns take up the causes of Reformation, Catholicism, Free or Crown controlled trade.
