The Guild Europa 1410 Wiki

The Guild – Europa 1410 is a medieval dynasty simulation from Ashborne Games and THQ Nordic, rebooting the beloved franchise that began with Europa 1400: The Guild in 2002. Set in the 15th-century Holy Roman Empire, you choose a profession, build a business empire, climb the political ladder, and found a family dynasty that survives across generations.

Unlike The Guild 2 and 3, Europa 1410 returns to menu-driven macro-management with an isometric city view. You do not walk your character through 3D streets — you direct your dynasty through production screens, political negotiations, and family decisions. Early Access launches July 16, 2026 on Steam for Windows, with four cities, eleven professions, and deep systems for economy, politics, crime, and family legacy.

Whether you are a returning fan scarred by The Guild 3's troubled launch or a newcomer drawn by the medieval setting, this wiki covers everything you need from the free Steam demo through full Early Access.

The Guild Europa 1410 layers four interconnected systems that define every playthrough:

• Dynasty & Family — Marriage, heirs, and generational succession. Death without an heir ends your game.
• Politics & Council — City council offices, elections, bribery, and eight social titles from Burgher to Prince.
• Crime & Law — Theft, blackmail, evidence, courts, and the Inquisitor's power to define crime.
• Economy & Trade — Production chains, cart logistics, marketplace dynamics, and employee management.

Mastering all four systems separates dynasties that survive centuries from those that end in the first generation.
