Player Objectives<br />
You assume the role of the guiding spirit in a kingdom of your choice and your main<br />
goal is to be a successful ruler. You are in charge of the virtual throne and it is your<br />
duty to decide the destiny of your empire. You can form alliances, plan conquests,<br />
develop your lands or spy upon others. It is your decision upon where you want to<br />
focus your efforts.<br />
Ultimate Emperor of Europe<br />
To win the game, you have to become the Ultimate Emperor of Europe. This goal can<br />
be achieved in one of two ways:<br />
• Winning the election for Ultimate Emperor of Europe.<br />
• Claiming the title of Ultimate Emperor of Europe.<br />
Election<br />
Once in a while, the seven most important kingdoms in Europe are ranked. The rulers<br />
of the first two kingdoms will become candidates and the five others will be the voters<br />
in the election of the Ultimate Emperor of Europe. The result of the election will be<br />
determined by many factors such as your relationship to the voters etc. You can attend<br />
the election as an observer to see who is voting for whom. If you are a candidate, you<br />
can accept or turn down the nomination. As an elector, you can abstain from voting.<br />
The reason behind each vote can be seen in the UI tooltips when rolling over the portrait<br />
of each voting king.<br />
There are two possible outcomes:<br />
• You win the election and become Ultimate Emperor of Europe, which means that<br />
you win the game.<br />
• You lose the election and another ruler will be elected to that title. In this case, you<br />
can accept the results and lose the game, or you can decline them and begin a<br />
war with all who voted for the elected ruler instead of you.<br />
Claiming the Title of Ultimate Emperor of Europe<br />
When you feel strong enough to win the election, you need not wait. You can always try<br />
to claim the title of Ultimate Emperor of Europe via the Royal Dynasty window. You then<br />
can manually initiate the election and see if the other kingdoms will elect you.<br />
Total Victory<br />
If you manage to conquer all provinces in Europe, you will automatically become the<br />
Ultimate Emperor of Europe.<br />
