What this is
Craftsmen, scholars & monks can help they reign supreme—but who will turn up to help. In Orléans, they will always want to take more actions than possible, and there are many paths to victory. Players need followers and their abilities to expand their dominance by putting them to work as traders, builders, and scientists.
