Features and skills

What hides beneath the simple conquest.

🗺️ Conquest

Deterministic maps

Each level is a randomly generated map of territories — but seeded by the level number. Level 47 is identical for the whole world, and level 999 exists from day one.

Color = chance

A territory's color reveals its resistance at a glance: green a sure win, orange ~80 %, red ~50 %. Difficulty grows from the center of the map outward.

Pity system

A failed attack permanently raises the next chance (80 % → 100 %, 50 % → 75 % → …). Failure is not a punishment but an investment — a dilemma: risk it now, or save up for two tries?

Endless levels

Conquer 100 % of territories to advance. You can return to lower maps to farm resources and loot.

⚒️ Real-time economy

Armies cost something

No "energy". You pay for attacks with resources produced in real time — whether you play or not. Pace is held by the economy, not screen time.

Grows with you

Every conquered territory adds production (fields, forests, mines, smelters). More territory means faster conquest, but pricier targets — the curve holds a fair band.

City building

On conquered land, build a citadel and structures that upgrade your realm.

Welcome back

Storehouses have no cap. After a few days away you return to a full treasury and conquer several territories at once.

💎 Relic hunt

Six rarity tiers

From common to legendary — and above them a handful of mythic world-unique treasures, the ones legends are told about.

Hall of Relics

Not a backpack but a gallery. What drops once is yours forever. Unowned ones glow as "???" silhouettes — a collector's pull.

Loadout

Relics grant bonuses only while in your active loadout. Swaps "attune" over a few hours — so you plan ahead (production at night, combat in the morning).

No duplicates

Nothing drops twice. A cascade also promotes rolls once you complete a tier — collecting itself speeds the path to rarities.

⚜️ Relic sets

Common and uncommon pieces form themed sets (Night Watch, The Harvest, Miner's Crew…). A complete set ACTIVE in your loadout grants an extra bonus - until you break it up for a better relic. And that is the point.

🌙 Daily rhythm

Patrols

While the game is closed, your army patrols conquered territories. On return the game tells you what happened — skirmishes, spoils, finds.

Expeditions

Send an expedition into the unknown. Higher risk, higher reward — but also a chance it comes back empty, or not at all.

Daily chest

Twice a day (every 12 h) — a morning/evening rhythm without skipping sleep. Day streaks raise your chances.

Event of the day

The whole world shares the same event each day ("Silver Mountains +50 % today") — derived from the date, no server needed. A free community topic.

🎭 Court entertainment

Court jester

Jokes on demand and a Daily Challenge — four puzzles in rotation: Royal Dice, a chess problem, the court memory game and a sokoban in the warehouse. The whole world solves the same one each day; a little gold and a streak as the reward.

Royal Chess

Mate in one and mate in two from real games (Lichess, public domain). The validator knows the rules — castling, en passant, promotion.

Royal Alchemist

Combine ingredients and discover recipes for your Book. Expeditions bring rare reagents — and the world's first discoverer is recorded here forever.

Gold and cosmetics

Gold flows from all activity and buys ONLY finery: titles, portraits, frames. Prestige, not power — rule no. 1 holds.

🧙 Court magic

Crystals

Silver destroys magic, crystal binds it. The mage spins mana at +1 crystal per hour — the same for everyone, playing or not. No mine digs them, no relic speeds them up, they never drop as loot. A hard 24 a day for the whole world — rule no. 1.

The Court Mage

Joins your army at level 10 and learns his spells as you advance. He does not cast idly — before an expedition you pick a spell, the crystals are spent, and the effect lasts for that single march. No permanent power.

Six spells

🔥 Fire Seal (3) +15 pts to the odds · 🛡️ Warding Rune (5) even a failure brings home 70 % of the haul · 🔮 Alchemist's March (10) guaranteed rare spice · ✨ Blessing of Plenty (30) +25 % resources · 🪞 Mirror of Fate (35) a failed march is rolled a second time · 👁️ Clairvoyance (50) one more chance at a relic.

Double casting

From level 25 the mage can hold two spells on a single expedition. The slot itself costs 20 crystals on top of their price — Plenty with Clairvoyance comes to a hundred, and that much is out of reach without a tower.

The Mage Tower

The city's eighth structure, and you may raise it the moment the mage arrives. Without it he holds fifty crystals; the tower raises the vault by fifty up to 300 — and a full vault lets the hours drain away.

🌍 The real world

Moon phases

The fortunes know the actual sky — the moon phase is computed from the date, no location, no internet. On a full moon the court sleeps uneasily.

Real holidays

Christmas, the solstices, Hallowtide and Easter (yes, we compute the computus) — the court celebrates with you. Pure atmosphere, no bonuses.

Court Almanac

Note the birthdays, name-days and anniversaries of those dear to you — the court celebrates them and the royal messenger reminds you even while the game sleeps. You will never again forget a wedding anniversary or your mother-in-law's birthday. Optional and hidden; no effect on the game.

Only on your phone

Almanac names never leave the device — not in the ping, not on the server, not anywhere. The court's feasts are yours alone.

⚖️ Fairness and privacy

Rule no. 1

Exactly the same conditions for every player. Every decision in the game is checked against it.

No head start for sale

A one-time price, no progress IAP, no ads. Everyone pays the same and inside they are equal.

No accounts

Just a nickname and a secret ID. No name, no e-mail, no tracking.

Leaderboard protection

The server checks plausibility (server time, pace caps) — a cheater quietly vanishes from the board without spoiling your game.
