KEEP A LOW PROFILE

Time is always ticking. As you build your empire in the shadows, the crown is searching for you.

  • Weekly Pressure: At the end of every week, Royal Scouts survey the land, increasing the global Suspicion Gauge.

  • Bribe the Scouts: Use your wealth strategically to pay off the scouts, pausing the suspicion meter to buy yourself crucial time.

  • Inevitable Conflict: When Suspicion inevitably hits 100%, your location is compromised, forcing an immediate tactical battle against the royal armies.

MANAGE YOUR ARMY

You cannot win a war with gold alone. Build and maintain a standing army capable of repelling royal attacks. Balance your forces across three distinct unit classes:

Final combat is designed with Direct and Counter interactions.

  • Might: Heavy, frontline bruisers with varying direct and counter abilities.

  • Swift: Rapid-striking flanking units with varying direct and counter abilities.

  • Arcane: Magic units with varying direct and counter abilities.

RALLY THE NOBILITY

As the rightful head of House Fairheart, you can leverage your status and growing wealth to turn the King's court against him.

  • Gather Support: Rally other noble houses to your cause before a battle begins.

  • Cripple the Enemy: Successfully gaining noble support directly weakens the enemy army's stats and troop numbers, turning the tide of war in your favor before swords ever clash.
