Description

As the successor to the highly rated medieval life simulation Europa 1400, The Guild 2 offers players the opportunity to control the fate of a large dynasty during the Middle Ages. Players can match wits with other human opponents via a truly unparalleled online multiplayer mode that has been completely redesigned for this sequel. In addition, The Guild 2 introduces the franchise’s first story-driven single-player campaign.  

It is Europe, 1400 A.D. The end of the last crusade leaves the countries of Europe and the powerful Roman-Catholic Church defeated and in a state of great upheaval. As church authorities and noblemen across the continent scramble to defend their interests, barriers between the ruling class and ordinary citizens slowly crumble. Shrewd shopkeepers and craftsmen are able to acquire wealth and power as the nobles find themselves more and more dependant on the gold of businessmen. It is in this age of opportunity that players will control every aspect of their character’s life – from their business and fortune to reputation and family life – and rise through the ranks of society. From humble beginnings as a mere commoner, players can become a rich and powerful merchant, renowned thief, politician, or any number of professions that will allow them to secure their dynasty and achieve the echelon of nobility. The players’ fates are completely up to them, but their decisions can change the course of history.
