About This Demo

Praetor: Medieval TD is a 2D colony defense and roguelite tower defense game. Manage your settlement's economy under the sun, then hold your walls against relentless multi-directional horde assaults when night falls.

THE THREE-PHASE DAILY LOOP

Every in-game day tests your planning and tactical adaptability across three distinct phases:

• Day Phase (Preparation & Logistics): Direct villagers to gather and physically transport resources, construct production hubs, build fortified perimeters, or ring the town bell early for bonus rewards.
  
• Night Phase (Autonomous Defense): Enemies invade from North, South, East, and West. Your automated defenses, towers, and garrisoned units engage hostiles based on range, targeting priority, and choke points.
  
• Dawn Phase (Roguelite Draft): Earn survival rewards. Select 1 of 3 randomized upgrade cards to enhance unit stats, unlock specialized buildings, or lock preferred cards for the next cycle.

PHYSICAL DELIVERY ECONOMY

Income is never passive. Villagers harvest Food, Wood, Stone, and Gold, physically carrying goods to the nearest storehouse or Town Hall.

• Task Allocation Sliders: Adjust workforce focus between gathering nodes instantly without individual micro-management.
  
• Shared Harvest Nodes: Workers collaborate on resource deposits in timed batches, making storehouse placement and transit distance vital to your economy.

DYNAMIC WEATHER & ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Surviving the siege is not just about repelling monsters—it is about braving the elements:

• Pre-Scheduled Forecasts: Consult the phase timeline to anticipate upcoming weather patterns and stockpile vital supplies before conditions worsen.
  
• Atmospheric Hazards: Endure 8 distinct conditions—from freezing Blizzards and torrential Heavy Storms to visibility-limiting Fog and agricultural Droughts.
  
• Logistical Impact: Extreme weather tints terrain dynamically, generates atmospheric storm effects, and penalizes villager movement and resource yields without slowing incoming invaders.

TACTICAL DEFENSE & TOWER FUSION

Adapt your perimeter to incoming attack vectors before each night:

• Free Building Repositioning: Use the crane mechanic during daytime to lift and reposition any building without penalty, reshaping kill-boxes and defensive lines.
  
• Building Fusion: Drag and merge matching buildings to save build space and trigger evolution drafts—transforming standard watchtowers and barracks into specialized Tier 2 and Tier 3 structures like Ballistas, Bombards, and Pyromancer Spires.
  
• High Ground & Cliffs: Exploit elevation for extended line-of-sight and firing range over lower corridors.

ESCALATING INVASIONS & BLOOD MOONS

Survive across 20 escalating days to claim victory and unlock procedural Endless Mode:

• Distinct Enemy Factions: Battle through swarm-heavy Orc hordes, elusive Shadow Realm infiltrators, and siege-ready mechanical units.
  
• Blood Moon Invasions: High-intensity siege nights (Waves 4, 11, 18) force you to select 1 Curse Card that empowers enemy movement speed, spawn count, or siege damage.
  
• Milestones & Meta-Progression: Earn village renown across runs to unlock permanent blueprints, starter perks, and up to 10 Siege Difficulty levels.
