    Total War games revolve around war; its strategic and tactical challenges, the impact it has on national economies, and many other high-level abstractions. However, the brutal reality is that war has horrific consequences for the innocent, and children are often the most vulnerable. War Child UK, the charity for children affected by conflict is striving for a world with no child’s life torn apart by war. It aims to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and stays to support them through their recovery – helping to keep them safe, give them an education, and equip them with skills for the future.

    Further details on Thrones of Britannia can be found on the Steam page, here.

    About War Child UK:
    War Child is striving for a world where children’s lives are no longer torn apart by war.

    We protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children caught up in conflict. We aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out, and stay to support them through their recovery – helping to keep them safe, give them an education, and equip them with skills for the future.

    We understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of the solution – from supporting Syrian children to access education, to reintegrating child soldiers in the Central African Republic and promoting justice for young people in detention in Afghanistan. Together with our partners we work in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and Latin America.

    We also work with children and young people to change systems and practices that affect them – campaigning on the root causes of conflict and demanding that children are at the centre of humanitarian response
