What is it?
You ride across one shared, persistent open world with your army behind you. Put your castle wherever you like, gather wood, food and iron, forge equipment and train your troops. Then fight field battles against other players, besiege rival castles with catapults, and team up with others to found a kingdom and claim the crown.
Features
- Open world: build your castle anywhere on the map
- Economy: production buildings, a workshop, fiefs, a player market and a bank
- Five unit classes with levels, including catapults for sieges
- Field battles, 30-second sieges and castle conquest
- Kingdoms: invite players, declare war or make peace
- Squads with text and voice chat
- 24 ranks, each with its own rider
- 11 languages, plays on desktop and mobile
Just updated
Every rider now gallops in 8 directions, and sieges show catapults hurling stones at the walls.
The game is still in development and I update it often, so any feedback is very welcome: what you liked, what confused you, what you'd like to see next. Thanks for reading!
