About This Demo

Claim the realm. Wear the crown.

Realm Tycoons Demo is a standalone eight-week Crown Trial combining fantasy strategy, board-game movement, realm building, army management, and tactical battles.

Choose from all six factions and compete in campaigns with two to six rulers. Lead your hero across a dangerous fantasy realm, capture valuable properties, strengthen your forces, and outmaneuver your rivals before the final week ends.

BUILD YOUR REALM

Claim cities, mines, Capitals, and Strongholds. Each property offers different strategic benefits, defensive opportunities, and ways to strengthen your position.

Develop your holdings, reinforce their garrisons, recruit new troops, and decide when to invest your gold or save it for the next unexpected challenge.

COMMAND A FANTASY ARMY

Build an army from units with distinct battlefield roles and strengths. Choose your strategy before combat, then watch your forces clash as battles resolve automatically across a tactical battlefield.

Army composition, hero attributes, spells, and strategy all influence the outcome. Victories can earn territory, experience, artifacts, and other rewards. Defeats may cost valuable troops, force your ruler to regroup, or leave an important property exposed.

CHOOSE YOUR FACTION

All six factions are playable in the demo:

• Highcourt commands disciplined warriors with a resilient, hard-hitting frontline.

• Aetherium fields arcane construct armies whose Shields and Battlemages coordinate to act earlier.

• Wildbloom brings swift woodland forces with mobile fighters and fast-acting ranged units.

• Ashen Host leads ferocious warbands whose heroes gain experience faster.

• Gravewake commands enduring undead armies built to withstand punishment and wear down their enemies.

• Underdeep strikes with subterranean ambushers, swift Skirmishers, and aggressive Shock troops.

Each faction offers its own heroes, units, spells, visual identity, and strategic advantages. Try different factions and discover the playstyle that suits you.

GROW YOUR HERO

Earn experience, improve your hero’s attributes, discover spells, collect artifacts, and unlock lasting bonuses during the Crown Trial.

Every journey around the board presents new decisions. Visit merchants, seek magical knowledge, fight for Arena rewards, wager on a match, uncover treasure, or challenge rival heroes and heavily defended properties.

HOW TO WIN THE CROWN TRIAL

You can win immediately by:

• Controlling four properties, including at least one Capital or Stronghold.

• Eliminating every rival ruler.

If nobody completes either objective, the Crown Trial ends after every ruler finishes Week 8. The ruler with the highest overall score wins. Ties are decided by properties controlled, army size, and then remaining gold.

Expand quickly, build a stronger army, or pursue a decisive conquest. The crown can be won in more than one way.

PLAY SOLO OR LOCAL HOT-SEAT

Configure a campaign with two to six active rulers. Play solo against AI opponents on Easy or Normal difficulty, or assign multiple rulers to human players for local hot-seat play on the same computer.

Mix human and AI rulers to create anything from a head-to-head contest to a crowded six-ruler struggle for the realm.
