Touch controls

How to win

• Villagers gather wood from trees, gold from ore, and food from berries, farms and shallow-water fish.
• Build a Dock, then Fishing Boats — deep-sea fish are the richest food on the map.
• Houses raise your population cap. Barracks train soldiers.
• Advance through the Feudal and Castle ages at the Town Centre: each one gathers faster and unlocks towers, walls, knights and catapults.
• Units gain experience when enemies die near them and rise through five ranks — Recruit to Legend — hitting harder, taking less damage and healing faster. Gold chevrons above a unit show its rank. Wounded units heal themselves out of combat, so pull veterans back rather than losing them.
• Goods are physical: food, logs, iron, flax, firewood, cloth and tools sit in buildings, and villagers carry them where they are needed. Your houses eat, burn firewood and wear out cloth. Build a Granary, a Woodcutter, a Blacksmith and a Weaver — then right-click a workshop with a villager to put them to work in it.
• Winter stops the fields and triples the firewood burn. The sea does not freeze: a Dock and a few boats are the answer to a hard one.
• Press F3 — or the Town button — to see what you hold, what is blocked and why.
• Destroy every enemy building to win. Lose everything and you lose.

Tips

• Keep villagers working — the Idle counter in the top bar finds them.
• Towers shoot. Put them where the enemy walks in.
• Repair damaged buildings with villagers (target them with a villager selected).
• The build cursor stays armed: place as many Houses as you like in a row, then finish when you are done. Villagers build them in order.
• Drag while placing a Wall to lay a whole line at once.
• Catapults do triple damage to buildings — bring them to crack a tower line.
