Starter
You recognise a few kings and queens, but which court does what is still hazy. A politics‑focused rewatch will help connect the banners, crowns and betrayals.
Solid
You follow most of the moves made by Cintra, Redania, Temeria and Nilfgaard. Reading a map or two of the Continent would likely turn you into a full royal‑court strategist.
Expert!
You could advise a king on how not to get outplayed by Dijkstra or Emhyr. Your memory for rulers, alliances and betrayals is worthy of a seat on any small council.
