The world-famous French city, known for its imposing fortifications erected during the Antiquity and the Middle Ages. This fortress, surrounded by magnificent walls, still stands today as one of the most unique French cities.
Winter has arrived in the beautiful Carcassonne region, but it does not seem to affect the spirit of the populace. Players still build the area surrounding this impressive city, one time at a time, and by placing followers on fields, cities, roads or monasteries. These followers will become knights, monks, farmers or thieves, depending on where they are placed.
