Take command of your army as you storm through medieval Europe in an extensive series of campaigns. Choosing one of the four available nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, Slav – you will be tasked with more than just conquering, raiding and pillaging enemy camps, villages and towns. Only by utilizing the full range of available tactical options, taking strategic advantage of the environment, and managing your temporary bases and settlements, will you emerge victorious.

Ancestors Legacy is a history-inspired real-time strategy game influenced by historical events in the Middle Ages. The game combines resource management and base building with large-scale, squad-based battles across vast battlefields, all rendered in great detail thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 tech. Experience medieval bloodshed like never before, thanks to the cinematic action camera that puts you right in the middle of the battle at the press of a button. 

The new campaign that was just added completely for free to Ancestors Legacy is an expression of gratitude to all the fans who’ve been and still are supporting the game and the dev team behind it by taking part in beta tests, sharing feedback, spreading the word, and simply being a part of the community.

Thanks to their continuous support, the developers were able to lower the price permanently to 29.99 EUR, so even more gamers could join history-inspired, real-time skirmishes both locally or online.

In the latest expansion, gamers will learn more about the story of Boleslav Chrobry, the first king of Poland, and his son Mieszko II. They will learn how, thanks to his diplomatic and strategic skills, as well as his strong character, Boleslav Chrobry was able to win wars, defeating the army of the Holy Roman Empire, and how he dethroned Yaroslav the Wise occupied Kiev, together with all its riches. The five missions available in the free update will cover the five-year historic period between 1013 and 1018.
