Om dette spil

Of Crowns & Chains is a solo-developed grand-strategy sandbox where every nation, army, and populace is dynamically simulated on a seamless spherical Earth. Lead a nation of your choice in January 1910 and influence the course of your nation and history as time marches onwards.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER

This game is a project built entirely by a solo developer over the past 4 months. In its current early Alpha 1 stage, the game has several bugs, optimization issues, and limited content, as it's only recently left Pre-Alpha through ongoing updates. If you're not prepared to encounter these challenges and wait for patches/updates, please hold off on purchasing until the game is more developed.

Due to these optimization issues, I've raised the minimum specifications substantially to ensure a playable experience for those who meet them. These may be lowered in future updates as performance improves, so check back later if your hardware falls short today.

CURRENT FEATURES

• True-Sphere World & Accurate Landmass – No flat-map distortion on a seamless spherical globe. Landmasses are generated from real-world geospatial data, ensuring highly accurate coastlines and islands.

  

• Mass-Scale Tile System – A procedurally generated, cellular-like grid covers only Europe for now. While most of Europe's nations are subdivided by procedural tiles, the provinces of Spain and Portugal are manually drawn to follow precise geographical (rivers), state, and even disputed borders (e.g. Olivenza). With over 42,000 tiles in Europe, the potential for strategic depth is high—Spain alone is comprised of nearly 3,000 tiles.

  

• Nation Selection & Government Types – Choose any European state, from the British Empire to the newly-added Ottoman Empire or the microstates of San Marino and Liechtenstein. Each nation features its historically-accurate government, alliances, and vassals

  

• Dynamic National Treasury & Debt System – Manage your nation's treasury by balancing hourly income from taxes and territory against the massive upkeep costs of your divisions. Running a deficit is a dangerous path. As your nation sinks deeper into debt, you will face increasingly severe penalties. Slight debt will hinder your army's combat effectiveness, but falling into deep debt or even bankruptcy will trigger mass desertions, bleeding your divisions of manpower and risking the collapse of your front lines.

  

• Mass-Scale Unit System – Each unit represents a division (≈20,000 soldiers), with many divisions fitting inside a single tile to deliver a grand sense of warfare.

  

• Realistic Combat System – Engage in protracted battles that can last for months under certain conditions. Defenders dig trenches that decay under assault, while attackers must fight through three distinct phases—Skirmish, Assault, and Breach. Manage division exhaustion and consolidate newly captured territory to solidify your front line.

  

• Dynamic Population & Manpower – Populations grow, age, and decline over time. Casualties directly impact age distribution, while manpower pools adjust as soldiers retire or new recruits become eligible.

  

• Wars, Ceasefires & Alliances – Secure allies, occupy tiles, and declare wars; hostilities can end in ceasefire (peace conferences in-development). Cascading calls-to-arms can pull suzerains, vassals and allies into conflict; tiles can be occupied and liberated.

Beskrivelse af voksenindhold

Udviklerne beskriver indholdet således:

Gameplay depicts a globe representation of the Earth populated by nations potentially disputing territory. Army units are shown as 2D icons that capture enemy tiles and engage in combat with enemy units. Combat is represented by 2D icons frozen together with animated shapes as battle intensity indicators. No blood, gore, realistic violence, or personal harm is shown (only icons disappearing and color-coded tiles changing ownership/occupation). Realistic war effects on demographics (e.g. casualties distributed across military-aged pops) are presented as statistics (population pyramid, numbers) that impact demographic change.
