๐Ÿ’ The goal

Stage an ongoing drama of **nobles scheming for favour and succession** within a single palace.

Requires Royalty & Legacy for the rank and court system โ€” no base-game version.

๐Ÿ’ก Strategy tips

  • Reputation and standing are your currency โ€” guard the favoured heir's image fiercely.
