Neither King Nor God Epic Version

A strategy game for 4 players in Europe in the Age of Renaissance

Mercenaries in the 16th century didn’t believe in a religion common to all of their comrades nor did they follow faithfully one and the same ruler. They didn’t care about confession nor country borders. They only followed the sound of drums and fought for whoever paid the most.

This version is a "pilot" to the huge and epic 5 player version that will be published in 2026. You lead one of four factions that played an important role in Central Europe: England, France, the Papacy and the Italian City States in its vicinity or The German Holy Roman Empire.

To win the game you need to control a certain number of regions and need to maintain or convert a certain number of centers to the confession of your faction. Victory conditions for each faction are different and as some factions aim for a certain confession in the centers, they help their opponents fulfilling their victory conditions. In addition to that the English player may win the game if the continent is overrun by the troops of the Ottoman Empire.
