Forge your path to power in medieval Europe. Choose your profession and master trade, politics, and intrigue to climb the social ladder and found a dynasty. Secure your legacy and dominate history in this immersive economic simulation.

Starting at the head of a fledgling dynasty with only a modest business, your journey begins. As the years pass and your enterprise grows, you need to expand your family’s influence and secure a succession to ensure your legacy endures.

However, business and trade alone won’t give you a voice in the town hall. To truly steer the fortunes of the city and ensure the law always favours your ambitions, you must engage in the intricate political landscape. Use popularity, bribes, or even blackmail to climb the social ladder and secure your place in the highest offices.

In The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410, you navigate a complex web of relationships, where every decision can impact your dynasty’s future. Master the art of trade and production to build your wealth and use diplomacy and cunning to outmanoeuvre rivals. Build your legacy and make choices that will ripple through future generations. Whether through strategic alliances or open rivalry and clever schemes, the path to dominance is yours to choose.

Every successful entrepreneur will tell you that you need a proper business plan to succeed, from medieval times until today. That's why the development team at Ashborne Games wants to share their roadmap for the Early Access of the Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410, to let people know what they get when Steam Early Access begins on September 17th – and what the forecast predicts until the 1.0 launch.

But before we dig into the details of the Early Access version, we are grateful to announce another major wishlist milestone: over 300,000 people are eager to start their businesses and found a dynasty that lasts for centuries – thank you very much, to each and every one of you!

What will be playable with the Early Access launch on September 17th?

• 6 Cities
  Graz, Kuttenberg, Nuremberg, Freiburg, Wrocław and the tutorial town of Landsfort Herle
• 8 Professions
  Smith / Tailor / Joiner / Stonemason / Priest / Innkeeper / Alchemist / Perfumer
• 2 Languages
  At start, German and English localizations will be available, with many more to follow soon, such as French, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Simplified Chinese and Russian.
• Manage and expand your workshops, hire workers and build a thriving medieval business empire.
• Start courting, marry, and produce heirs to secure your legacy. A campaign in Europa 1410 can span multiple generations, so the character you end a campaign with will probably not be the one you started out with.
• Politics and society: Apply for offices and climb the social ladder by befriending, blackmailing or bribing fellow citizens in important places. Climb high enough and you'll even get a say in the city's construction projects: expand the city with new walls, improve its infrastructure and enact laws that make sure you always come out on top.

In addition to these core gameplay features, The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 offers many more ways to interact with the game world and achieve your goals. Which path you want to take through your campaign is always up to you.

Throughout Early Access, we will provide updates for the game on a regular basis. These updates add new content and expand on existing features, while also providing better stability, bug fixes and balancing where necessary. We want to give three of these updates special attention, as they will not only add new content, but change how you can play the game.

The Stabby Update: Knives and Swords

This update will focus on combat professions and combat in general. It will introduce the Thief and Robber, as well as the Guard. You'll be able to equip your men to patrol the streets, break into other citizens' houses and workplaces, or waylay carts on the city's outskirts. Combat itself – including duels – will also be vastly improved with this update, to provide a more fun and exciting experience for you. Duels especially will get a major overhaul – we can't wait to tell you more!

The Backstabby Update: Multiplayer

With this update, we will bring one of the most requested features to the game: Multiplayer. Compete against up to 11 other players, or play together to achieve your goals. To further enrich the competitive part of the game, we will introduce rivalries and alliances with other dynasties, together with cooperative and competitive challenges and victory conditions. Also part of this update is a big improvement to the game's economy. We want to make the city's needs a big part of this update: provide the city properly and see it prosper, or withhold certain goods if it helps further your agenda. Last but not least, this update will introduce a new city to play in!

Release

At the 1.0 release of the game, we will introduce the Moneylender and the Trader, allowing you to get the most out of the new additions to the economy in the previous update. As a Trader, you will get your hands on rare and sought-after goods, import them to help your city – and your purse – or export them to faraway lands. The money you make abroad will need to be exchanged for local currency; the Moneylender will help you with that – for a fee, naturally. And if you want to jump-start your game, you can, of course, take a loan; just make sure to repay it in time. The release of the game will also include a brand-new map and additional gameplay with your Guild – rise above your competitors and control the future of your craft in your city. Take a look at our roadmap for more information and get ready to open shop on September 17th. Become a true medieval tycoon in The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410.

As in every The Guild game, craft and trade is one of the core pillars of The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410. Choose from a wide variety of professions, like the blacksmith, alchemist or the tailor, and expand your business until you are the most influential magnate in the city.

Each profession offers an immersive and unique gameplay experience, putting you in charge of your business’ growth and success.

For those who prefer alternative ways to make money, The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 offers a different, more thrilling path. Engage in cart robberies, scout buildings for valuable loot, send your thieves to pickpocket unsuspecting citizens, and even kidnap people for ransom. The life of those who oppose the law is filled with danger but full of excitement and potential for great rewards.

Alternatively, you can choose to uphold the law and patrol the streets with your guardsmen. Protect the city from criminals, maintain order, and earn the respect of all law-abiding citizens. Whether you choose a life of crime or one of virtue will have a significant impact on your fellow citizens.

In The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410, politics is key. Securing one of the prestigious and powerful offices yourself can significantly advance your ambitions while impeding your rivals. And when necessary, a bit of blackmail can be just the tool to secure the support you need from other office holders. But beware – every criminal action you take could leave behind evidence, potentially to be used against you in court.

Experience a new level of immersion with state-of-the-art graphics that bring the world of The Guild to life like never before.
