Source facts

Our guidance

How do I move my units across the board?

Movement is determined by dice-roll mechanics. You must roll to gain movement points, which then allow you to march your units across the board. Plan your movement carefully to balance exploration with the defense of your home base.

Our guidance

What is the importance of occupying resource slots?

Occupying resource slots with your workers is essential for building a steady income. These funds are necessary to recruit new units and construct defensive structures like wooden walls or bridges to cross obstacles on the map.

Our guidance

What happens if I leave my base undefended?

Leaving your homelands undefended while chasing glory is a significant gamble. If you spread your forces too thin and lose your base, you will be knocked out of the game instantly, regardless of your other strategic progress.

Our guidance

How can I disrupt my opponents during a match?

You can engage enemy forces directly in combat or send raiders to disrupt their workers. This harassment is a key strategic tool to slow down rival rulers while you focus on your own expansion and resource gathering.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Are there neutral threats on the board?

Yes, bandits roam the map throughout the match. Defeating these neutral enemies can yield bonus loot, providing an additional incentive to engage with them while you navigate the board and manage your units and resources.

Our guidance

What structures can I build to improve my position?

Using your funds, you can construct bridges to cross obstacles or wooden walls to fortify your positions. These structures are vital for controlling the board and protecting your workers from enemy raiders or roaming bandits.

Source facts

How does the single-player mode differ from multiplayer?

In single-player mode, you sharpen your tactics against an adaptive AI opponent. In online multiplayer, you face friends or strangers in Steam lobbies, where you can choose to betray, ally, or backstab in real-time board-game style.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

How long does a typical match last?

Match length varies depending on the mode. A solo match against the AI typically lasts around 10 minutes, while multiplayer games against other players generally take about 20 minutes to complete, depending on the strategies employed.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Is every match the same?

No, every match is a fresh, procedurally generated showdown. This ensures that you cannot rely on a single static strategy, as the board layout and challenges will change, requiring strategic vigour to crown the victor each time.
