What is City States: Medieval?

You lead a merchant republic in twelfth-century Europe or the Middle East, combining city management, grand strategy, and real-time siege battles. You construct production buildings and fortifications, establish trading outposts, and develop your leader’s skills. Sending that leader abroad opens opportunities for new markets and court intrigue but leaves the city more vulnerable.
