At the start of a game the player must choose a noble by either selecting one of the default nobles or creating a new one. Nobles act as user accounts within the game wherein completed campaigns and saved games are local to each noble. A noble consists of three customizable features: housename portrait and heraldry. Once a noble is selected the player can choose to play a campaign or battle map or load a saved game. While all the battle maps are available when a noble is created the campaigns require that the player complete each level in sequence.
