Radovid V - The Witcher 3 3D model

They say it's the game of kings. That chess teaches one to think strategically. What a load of rubbish!... Both sides have identical pieces, the rules stay invariably the same. How does this mirror real life?

• Radovid discussing politics, The Witcher 3: Wild HuntRadovid V the Stern (Polish: Radowid V Srogi) was the king of Redania and a member of the Redanian Dynasty in the last quarter of the 13th century.[2] Even though his father, King Vizimir II, was assassinated in 1267, Prince Radovid didn't succeed him immediately because he was only twelve at the time and for several years the kingdom was governed by a Regency Council, under the influence of Duke Nitert and Count Sigismund Dijkstra, the then-spymaster of the Redanian Secret Service.[3][4] His reign became, along with the witch hunts, one of the defining factors of the post-war period that followed the Peace of Cintra. Radovid was a polarizing figure: a brilliant strategist and a superb general to some, a paranoid madman to others. There were also many who took the middle view of his policies being harsh but justified.[5]
