❤ Gameplay Overview

Players must manage their kingdoms, build up armies, send heroes on quests, and navigate the strategic conquest of the realm against rival kingdoms and the threat of the Corruption Curse. The game blends elements of wargames, 4X games, and RPGs on a hex-based map.

❤ Wargame Mechanics

Players must carefully manage their military forces, including different unit types like cavalry, infantry, and archers. Factors like terrain, supply lines, and weather impact combat outcomes. Players can research military tactics and magic to improve their armies' capabilities.

❤ Kingdom Management

In addition to the wargame elements, players must construct buildings like barracks, markets, and libraries to grow their cities, research new technologies, and deal with challenges like stability and corruption. Players must balance military expansion with internal development.

❤ Hero System

Players can recruit heroes with their own stats, abilities, and specializations. These heroes can lead armies into battle, govern cities, or embark on dungeon-crawling quests to acquire resources, magic items, and artifacts. Managing and leveling up heroes is a key part of progressing.

❤ Dungeon Crawling

Players can send their heroes on expeditions to explore procedurally-generated dungeons, which contain valuable resources, powerful magic items, and dangerous enemies. The outcomes of these quests can significantly impact a player's military and economic strength.

❤ Diplomacy and Victory Conditions

While players can pursue a military victory, the game also offers alternative victory paths through diplomacy and accumulating "Prestige" points. Players can negotiate treaties, form alliances, and leverage their heroes and armies to achieve victory without necessarily wiping out all opponents.

❤ Customization and Replayability

The game includes a scenario editor that allows players to create their own maps, kingdoms, and campaigns. The random map generator also ensures that no two playthroughs are exactly the same. Combined with the varied victory conditions and multiple strategic paths, this makes for a highly replayable experience.
