Your choices shall shape the tale, yet you may always return or begin anew, perchance adopting another guise. Enjoy your journey, for the very act of recounting these ancient stories binds you to the age-old tradition of the bards and priests who first gave them voice.

CMA, Chronicles of the Middle Ages, is a simulation game that transports you back to the life in the Middle Ages.

When you start your journey, you will select the Capital of the Kingdom you have chosen and choose a skill that you would like to begin with.

As a simulation of life in the Middle Ages, the game is challenging. You cannot simply send items, traveling takes a lot of energy, you have to eat and drink, and you need to wear appropriate clothing in cold weather to avoid freezing and illness. The primary objective of the game is to survive, as you must eat and drink every day or risk losing health and eventually dying.

Once you have achieved this critical goal, you can start using your chosen skill, such as farming, breeding, or crafting, to build wealth. Wealth is crucial in the game, as buying shops and learning new skills is expensive. To advance, you will need to grind, but this is what makes the game motivating and keeps you logging in every day.

In CMA, you can be whoever you want to be - a farmer who wants a peaceful life, a merchant who buys items in one city and sells them in another, or a government official who rises through the ranks to become a governor or a king. It all depends on the skills you choose to learn and how you want to be remembered. Note that the number of skills is capped, so you cannot be a "Jack of all Trades."

We encourage you to role-play in our forum (coming soon) and reflect your role-play in real actions in the game, but this is not a requirement.

In this game, Kingdom and community collaboration is a key aspect. The staff organizes periodic events where Kingdoms compete and can earn bonuses for their citizens or for the entire Kingdom. In the future, wars may also be a part of the game.

If you want to become a King, you will need to be a skilled leader with strong organizational skills. You will need to convince others to help you and make tough decisions to achieve your goals.
