Players download an app to their Android, iPhone, Symbian or Windows Phone 7, GPS-enabled smartphone, and then use it to conquer pre-determined regions drawn across Europe for one of the 2 Kingmaker factions. Doing this earns them gold that they can then actually spend in Fable III when it comes out.
