“Build a powerful kingdom in the shadow of the Caucasus Mountains and use the harsh local terrain to your advantage to repel countless enemy incursions. Monaspa is a unique Georgian unit, the strength of which increases with the increase in the number of fighters.”
“Players will also see the story of the reign of the glorious king of Georgia, Tamar, who, as the first queen of Georgia, must defeat the skeptics and leave a mark in history with her achievements.
“Georgia was revived at the beginning of the 12th century, during the reign of David IV the Builder, who carried out important reforms, established political stability and strengthened the army – the country’s military power. This trend was continued by the first ruling queen of Georgia, Tamar (1160-1213), who raised the power of the kingdom to new heights. Tamar was such a powerful ruler that in the last years of her reign, she turned her kingdom into a country ready to participate in the Crusades.”
