Two armies charging across a sandy plain at sunset, palm trees and mountains behind.

War on open ground

Armies charge across open ground. Fly a free camera over the battle, or fight in the line.

Inside a timber attic: a table with a lit candle, a rug, a ladder and a wardrobe.

Homes to their size

Every house furnished to its size: beds, a hearth, a table and a candle, an upstairs in the bigger ones.

A lamp post at dusk at the edge of a village street, a lit house and a brazier behind it.

Lights you set down

Standing and wall torches, lamp posts and braziers, anywhere on land. Towns put up their own.

A village at night from a hillside: lit windows and lamp posts between the houses.

The town after dark

Lit windows and lamps along the streets, and the same night on the map as in 3D.

The crafting window: weapon recipes, and a legendary sword named Ashbringer just forged.

Forging

A recipe card with the odds of each quality and a forge queue. Legendary pieces come out with their own name.

A mythril hammer glowing cyan in the hand at night, the northern lights over the sea.

Every weapon remodelled

All 53 weapons rebuilt in their metals. Mythril and adamantine glow after dark.

The war map's order bar: Transport, Trader and Fishing ship buttons and guards to send.

Kings' orders

As king, order ships from your town's card on the war map, and send your guards after anyone.

A fishing boat, a transport and a trading ship under sail, moored in a sunny bay.

Ships from the dock

Ordered ships are built at the town's docks: transport, trade and fishing, up to three of each.

A torch held up at night between village houses, a lit window and villagers nearby.

A torch in hand

Light it at a fire and hold it out. Rain and water put it out.

Every people's own town

Cats on stilts, ghosts that glow

Each of the game's peoples builds its own town in 3D, after its sprites: houses, hall, temple and windmill, down to the ruins they leave. A few of the 49:

A cat town on open grass: wooden houses on stilts, a windmill, a bell shrine and a timber hall flying a flag.
Cats: timber on stilts.
A ghost town of pale, glowing see-through domes and towers, a flag over the hall.
Ghosts: pale domes that glow.
A necromancer town: a tall spiked tent flying a flag, round thatched huts, a ribbed tower and a horned arch.
Necromancers: spiked tents and horned arches.

Live their life, or end someone else's

Select any creature and press G, or zoom all the way in. Everything around you is the live world: the people go about their day, and what you do changes the map.

Talking to a villager in a village street; the conversation panel lists questions about his family, his life, the news and the king.

Talk to anyone

Press E for a whole conversation: their work, their family, the news, their king.

Inside a timber house by day: a table with a jug and candle under an iron chandelier, a stair up and sunlight on the walls.

Walk into their homes

Every house has a furnished room inside, lit by candles and its windows.

Holding an evil mage's red-gem staff in a street of stone houses, the ground ablaze after a fireball.

Use your kind's power

X throws a bandit's firebomb, raises a necromancer's dead, casts an evil mage's fireball.

Fighting in the front line on open sand: a sword in your hand, an armoured knight beside you, enemies ahead.

Fight where it happens

Swing at what's under the crosshair, guard and parry, draw a bow. When raiders hit your town, you're standing in it.

At a ship's wheel on a river at sunset, the sails above and the shore ahead.

Take the helm

Take over a ship and steer her yourself: W/S set the sails, A/D turn the wheel, Shift fills the sails with a gust.

A wolf's low view across a bay to an island of baobab trees, late in the day.

Be anything

A wolf, a sheep, a skeleton, Crabzilla. Every creature you can possess, you can see through.
