'The Guild 3' Announced - Screens

by Rainier on June 23, 2016 @ 6:33 p.m. PDT

The Guild 3 blends economic simulation, strategy, historical life simulation and RPG in 3D, in which the player builds his own dynasty and decides which path to follow.

The Guild 3 is a unique blend of eco-simulation, strategy game, historical life-sim, and RPG. Europe in the 1400s: The dark middle ages, once dominated by nobles and the clergy, came to an end and a new era begins: the age of free, prospering cities, trading and an open mind-set! One of the goals in the The Guild series is to create a family dynasty which can last for centuries. While the world around you and your dynasty rearranges itself time and time again – all nonplayer characters (NPCs) make their own decisions – you have to prove your skills in artisan craftwork and trading, participate in social occasions and perfect your political schemes and malicious intrigues.

In The Guild 3, the player will experience an AI that sets a new benchmark for the genre: the extraordinarily adaptive AI system, the EHE (Evolutive Human Emulator), will set new standards for economic simulations. Based on a system of six character attributes and the AI’s ability to adapt to any need and motivation system, it enables characteristic behaviour patterns to emerge and develop - resulting in an incredibly immersive game ambience.


“The artificial intelligence is a major element in the game, and our technology and design have focused on this feature since we started working on this project. Not only because this is one of our specialities here at GolemLabs, but also because this feature is equally important for Nordic Games”, says Jean-René, founder and leading programmer at GolemLabs. “Each little action in the game has a set of values that influence the various aspects of the AI to provide a more realistic game feeling. Every decision the player makes will affect the environment, the activity and behaviour of the NPCs, so EHE sets the player ever-increasing challenges.”

Key Features

  • AI System: The new, adaptive AI system is based on a system of six character attributes.
  • Societies: Particularly influential organisations, some publicly known and others that are cloaked in secrecy.
  • Massive Replayability: The AI and the random-based global events ensure that every scenario and game feel and play differently
  • Character/Dynasty Evolution: A complex skill tree, professions, actions and bonuses are waiting to be unlocked.
  • Multiplayer With up to 16 Players: Integrated multiplayer mode and connection with other The Guild 3 players regardless of where the game was purchased.
  • Map Editor: Players can create maps to share with the gaming community and select their favourites from a constantly expanding library of scenarios.
