Why it's different

⚔ Battles with a mind of their own

Companies split up and flank, spearmen lock shields, archers advance and loose, and an enraged ogre might smash straight through your line. Enemy mages may even turn your soldiers into chickens.

🎲 Over 2 million peoples to roll

Lead one of ten Ruling Houses, or roll a Dustborn people: 40 folk crossed with 30 bloodlines, from clockwork goblins to two-headed vampire frogfolk. Found one you love? Keep it.

✨ Heroes who become something else

Take favours from five paths, Light, Dark, Wild, Storm and War, and walk one far enough to become a Paladin, a Lich, a Druid, a Tempest or a Blood King.

🧠 An AI that never cheats

No bonus gold, no peeking through the fog. Harder rivals simply play smarter. Can you beat it?

📱 Play with friends

Up to 8 people pass-and-play on one device, or play by WhatsApp: take your turn, send it as a message, and your friend picks it up on their phone.

🏆 50 achievements

From First Blood to storming a capital, becoming a Lich or turning an enemy into a chicken. And one secret, for those who know the word.
