How to Play

Three resources run the war machine. The backend is the only authority on your balances — the HUD just reports what it returns.

• Gold pays for construction, upgrades and recruitment.
• Iron is forged into armor, weapons and buildings.
• Food keeps your legions fed and your population growing.
• Storage caps each pool — upgrade it before your treasury overflows.

Your kingdom is a ring of structures around the Town Hall. Each one produces, stores or unlocks something.

• Town Hall — raises kingdom level and unlocks the rest (levels 1-3).
• Farm, Mine and Storage — Food, Iron and capacity.
• Barracks — unlocks and speeds up unit recruitment.
• Forge Workshop — powers upgrades and king abilities.

Spend Gold, Iron and Food to raise three unit types. Every cost is validated by the backend before a single soldier appears.

• Iron Legionnaire — the sturdy front line.
• Forge Guard — heavy defenders forged in green fire.
• Laser Archer — ranged damage that goes pew with imperial precision.

Combat is turn-based against an AI army. You act, the enemy answers, and the log narrates every glorious mistake.

• Start a battle to face an AI army of Sand Raiders, Furnace Automatons and Hourglass Colossi.
• Each turn you attack, use an ability, or resolve the fight.
• Health bars track both armies; the backend decides every outcome.
• Win for Gold, Iron and Food rewards — lose and you still get a story.

Both kings bring signature abilities with cooldowns. Use them at the right moment and the battlefield bends.

• Abilities have cooldowns tracked by the backend.
• They can swing damage, defense or tempo in a single turn.
• Watch the cooldown readout before you commit.

Five quests introduce the world and both kings. Progress is tracked automatically as you play.

• Objectives cover building, upgrading, recruiting, choosing a faction and winning battles.
• Claim a completed quest exactly once for its reward.
• Rewards include resources and reputation with a king.

Both kings keep score of you independently. Impress one and the other notices.

• Renegadus and Soonius track separate reputation scores.
• Quests and battles shift your standing with each king.
• The leaderboard ranks kingdoms by level and victories.

Your settlement is a living isometric diorama. Drag to pan, pinch or scroll to zoom, and tap a structure to inspect it.

• Every building has its own silhouette, shadow and level-based look.
• Pick a building up and drop it on a free grid cell to rearrange the realm.
• Workers, soldiers and villagers walk the roads while the forge glows.
• Reduced motion calms the ambience without hiding any information.

Tune the war table to your device. Every preference is stored on this device and applies immediately.

• Separate sound-effect and music volumes, each silent at zero.
• Graphics quality scales particle density and effect richness.
• Reduced motion suppresses ambient, idle and shake animation.
• Preferences persist across refresh and re-login.
