Why build one city when you can rule a whole kingdom?
Key Features:
-
Build Without Limits: Shape your kingdom your way with gridless placement that lets every settlement reflect your vision. Raise villages, design thriving towns, and transform them into beautiful interconnected cities that are as functional as they are distinct.
-
Rule a Network of Interconnected Cities: Expand across the world map, establish new population centers, and build a kingdom where each of your interconnected cities serves a vital purpose in your wider strategy. Utilize modular building attachments that let you customize each of your kingdom's cities.
-
Adapt to a Living World: From the Black Forest to the frozen Tundra, each region features its own combination of climate, resources, and challenges. Weather can affect food growth and heating needs, pushing you to adapt and plan.
-
Guide Your Citizens: Assign citizens to cities where they'll thrive, allowing merchants to sell in trade hubs, herbalists and healers to gather materials in the proper biome, and soldiers to guard those most vulnerable.
-
Protect What You Build: Peace is never guaranteed. Roaming bandits, dangerous creatures, ambushes, and frontier threats can put your towns, trade routes, and caravans at risk. Train elite defenders, fortify vulnerable settlements, and prepare tactical protections that keep your kingdom standing when danger arrives at the gates.
-
Explore the Unknown: Send expeditions beyond your borders to uncover ancient ruins, hidden resources, and the forgotten stories of Nyttland. The secrets you find can unlock rare materials, strategic advantages, and new paths to power for your growing kingdom.
