- Secure crucial regions: Each region offers unique advantages in the form of victory points or special abilities.
- Influence the court: Gather support from powerful figures like the church, the military, and influential merchants.
- Control the heir apparent: Whoever holds sway over the designated heir at the game’s end gains a significant advantage.
