About
Build a nation from nothing into a thriving empire.
Grow your economy, manage resources, and secure prosperity.
Raise a powerful army, expand your borders, and crush your enemies.
Lead your realm to victory and carve your legacy into history.
From tactical skirmishes to massive sieges, adapt your strategy to the evolving battlefield. A knight might dominate open plains, but crumble against fortified walls. Success requires a mix of unit types, calculated positioning and anticipation of your enemies’ next move.
Fight across procedurally generated maps, handcrafted battlefields, or fully custom scenarios - each shaped by rolling hills, natural choke points, vast oceans, dense forests, sandy shores and towering mountains. No two campaigns will ever play the same.
Begin with humble villages and militias, then research technologies to unlock mighty siege engines, armored knights and more. As you progress, resources evolve, choices multiply and your world grows more complex - forcing sharper, more impactful strategic decisions.
Legendary battles, emergent narrative and endless exploration - build your own grandeur in an accessible entry to the turn-based strategy games. Do you have what it takes to ascend?

A fun strategy game that isnt oversaturated with different mechanics like many in the genre. Just simple enough to be easily understandable, yet just complicated enough to keep you entertained. Can't wait to see more with future updates.
It is a promising concept, somewhat of a bridge between older Civilization games and something like HOMM series with its resource system. I feel like it should probably aim for something more than that though if it wants to truly stand out in the crowd of other 4X games. Either in terms of mechanics (extensive diplomacy or political system for example) or setting (maybe fantasy, sci-fi, generally something which hasn't been explored much in the genre). It does suffer a lot from typical early access issues. Not that much content, some small, fortunately mostly non-game-breaking bugs and issues with map generation as well as various problems with the overall balance. Moreover, AI of bots is not the smartest kind, so it doesn't take long to master beating them consistently with ease, and since there are no built-in scenarios available (although there is a built-in map editor), I recommend playing multiplayer with friends instead, which is a lot more competetive and satisfying experience. That said, there is no integration with Steamworks, thus no Steam workshop (so by extension no easy way of sharing user-made scenarios online), nor integration with Steam servers, hence multiplayer requires LAN network (either real or virtual) or port-forwarding. All in all, it's a promising concept and I think worth trying for merely 2$ for a few battles with friends, but it requires way more work to become a finalized product.

Pretty fun for an hour
As a kind of a turn-based games enjoyer I find the game pretty entertaining game even when playing on your own, but it's way better with people since bots so far aren't the greatest but I'm sure it'll change with time. City building aspect of it I find quite satisfying and fighting is simple in theory similarly to AoE where you don't have as many unit types and it works in a rock-paper-scissors format but it still allows for some flexibility and outplays which is neat plus random maps always ensure that your build order and strategy has to be adjusted accordingly instead of blindly building the same thing everytime. Now obviously since it's an early access it doesn't have as much content and it's not yet a game where you could spend hundred hours and still discover new things or strategies, but clearly it's being worked on and receives frequent bigger or smaller updates with new things being added and old ones being fixed if needed and I'm looking forward to seeing this game grow.
The game still seems to have quite a lot to be upgraded and developed, yet the core mechanics are really fun to play around with as for me. I'd recommend playing multiplayer though (if you have someone to play with) because beating the bot does not seem to be of any challenge.
Interesting take on the 4x genre. Currently in early access so doesn't have a save function (as of yet) but I imagine this would be implemented with time. Probably recommend smaller map games for early game shenanigans and shorter play sessions until it's implemented. You use builders to construct improvements to harvest resources, research technologies (to medieval age) to unlock more content and like with any 4x games you explore, expand, exploit and exterminate with units. It has alot of potential and the random map generation is nice. For the price its a bargain
