Player Objectives<br />

You assume the role of the guiding spirit in a kingdom of your choice and your main<br />

goal is to be a successful ruler. You are in charge of the virtual throne and it is your<br />

duty to decide the destiny of your empire. You can form alliances, plan conquests,<br />

develop your lands or spy upon others. It is your decision upon where you want to<br />

focus your efforts.<br />

Ultimate Emperor of Europe<br />

To win the game, you have to become the Ultimate Emperor of Europe. This goal can<br />

be achieved in one of two ways:<br />

• Winning the election for Ultimate Emperor of Europe.<br />

• Claiming the title of Ultimate Emperor of Europe.<br />

Election<br />

Once in a while, the seven most important kingdoms in Europe are ranked. The rulers<br />

of the first two kingdoms will become candidates and the five others will be the voters<br />

in the election of the Ultimate Emperor of Europe. The result of the election will be<br />

determined by many factors such as your relationship to the voters etc. You can attend<br />

the election as an observer to see who is voting for whom. If you are a candidate, you<br />

can accept or turn down the nomination. As an elector, you can abstain from voting.<br />

The reason behind each vote can be seen in the UI tooltips when rolling over the portrait<br />

of each voting king.<br />

There are two possible outcomes:<br />

• You win the election and become Ultimate Emperor of Europe, which means that<br />

you win the game.<br />

• You lose the election and another ruler will be elected to that title. In this case, you<br />

can accept the results and lose the game, or you can decline them and begin a<br />

war with all who voted for the elected ruler instead of you.<br />

Claiming the Title of Ultimate Emperor of Europe<br />

When you feel strong enough to win the election, you need not wait. You can always try<br />

to claim the title of Ultimate Emperor of Europe via the Royal Dynasty window. You then<br />

can manually initiate the election and see if the other kingdoms will elect you.<br />

Total Victory<br />

If you manage to conquer all provinces in Europe, you will automatically become the<br />

Ultimate Emperor of Europe.<br />
