Each turn represents one year. The players receive taxes, prepare a budget, raise armies, sponsor festivals, construct projects which include economic projects (ports, shipyards, mines, etc.), projects which increase the Church (Cathedrals, etc.) which can increase the player's popularity and prevent uprisings, or may involve building up magic power (occult library.) There are more than 65 different projects available. Each player can buy troops off his own excelusive list based on which position he plays: Feudal lord, Necromancer, Amazon Queen, Cult leader, Barbarian, Prophet, Wizard, etc. More than 45 positions are available. It is also possible to increase your nation's abilities by discoveries made by scholars. This game is intended to be much more than just a hack and slash RISK variant.
