Editing Kingdoms: Overview of the Game System (section)

==Checkmate: Capture the King==

The most direct way to win is to capture the enemy King! This is usually achieved in the ''Season of Summer'' via a ''Summer Campaign'' with that specific objective, though a careless or desperate team might lose their King when he is leading armies in any battle.

''Checkmates'' are not easy to pull off though, and tend to require a combination of overwhelming military force and a talented commander, plus some luck in timing. 

If the enemy  King is captured, then the game immediately ends. The victorious King can now do as he pleases with his brother, whether this be summary execution, exile to the outer realms or lifelong imprisonment. The victorious King is also crowned '''High King''' and has a thousand years of rule before he must be sacrificed, and the game of succession may begin anew!
