What's in the game
Open world and castles
You place your castle wherever you like on the map. You control your own character and move across the map with your army wherever you want. The world grows with the player count, and attacks are forbidden on the bank grounds at the centre.
Production and fiefs
You produce wood, food, iron and gold, upgrade eight buildings, forge equipment in the workshop and raise horses in the stable. A fief multiplies your output.
Army and war
You train eight units, from marauders to horsemen; bad weather favours light units and good weather heavy ones. Field battles resolve on a five-second countdown; castle sieges take thirty seconds.
Kingdoms and diplomacy
Found your own kingdom, become king, declare war or buy peace with tribute. Castles you conquer earn the kingdom a steady income.
Market and bank
No NPC traders: prices come from players' own orders. The bank at the centre takes gold deposits and hands out loans.
Squads, chat, voice
Form a squad of up to eight and fight as one army. There is world chat, private messages, a friend list and push-to-talk voice chat with players nearby and your squad.
