A Living World of Strategy

Every system interlocks. Your doctrine choices ripple through combat, economy, diplomacy, and magic.

Six Doctrine Trees

Industry, Science, Faith, Arcane, Nature, Chaos — each with 5 tiers of branching upgrades. Hybrid cross-doctrine combos unlock unique capstone effects.

Turn-Based Hex Strategy

Command armies across procedurally-generated hex maps with 9 distinct biomes. Terrain affects combat, movement, and resource yields.

Deep Combat System

Unit counters, morale, flanking, terrain bonuses, siege warfare, and naval units. 39 unit kinds from skeleton archers to chaos lords.

Arcane & Divine Magic

Cast spells, perform rituals, sanctify territory. Mages draw from mana fonts and dark shrines. Faith powers divine intervention and crusades.

Heroes & Champions

Recruit unique heroes, lead armies into battle, and level them up to unlock new ability picks. Heroes bring auras, morale and healing to the ranks around them.

Economic Depth

Manage 10 resource types, build trade networks, establish mines and harbours. Food, mana, iron, gold, and crystals power your war machine.

Build harbours and trade ships, sail cargo between ports, and answer the foreign merchant houses that sail in with offers. Attack a house and they remember. Pirates raid laden ships. Pick the Seafarers preset to sail.

Treaties & Royal Houses

Climb from peace to a pact to an alliance, or break one and pay in honor. With Royal Houses switched on, every court has a princess and a prince with their own portrait, and houses that hold a treaty can seal it with a marriage.

Generations

Royals are born, grow old and die; the house mourns, the eldest succeeds, and a dead line adopts a cousin rather than ending. Births, deaths and mourning run in game years.

Espionage

Post a spy on a named city and read the intelligence it brings. Take a royal captive and choose what happens to them. Sabotage, poison, assassinate — and blame another house for it.

Online Multiplayer

Play against other people: a ranked queue with a rating that moves, quickplay, or a custom lobby. The server owns the simulation, two-team modes are supported, and any lobby match can be watched.

Play on Your Phone

The same game installs as a web app, and a native iPad / iPhone build is in closed TestFlight testing. One codebase, one simulation, two ways to play.
