Features
Joust
1v1 on horseback. Victory grants your team a devastating opening charge through enemy ranks at the start of the melee.
Duel
1v1 on foot. A decisive round that can end the match early - sweeping the first two rounds skips the melee entirely.
Melee 4v4
Four warriors per side. Fighters from rounds 1 and 2 return with 30% HP restored. The jousting winner charges first.
Fighter Market
Recruit, buy, and sell fighters. Young prospects or battle-hardened veterans - every decision shapes your dynasty.
Progression & Age
Fighters age and evolve. Young fighters progress faster; veterans perform immediately. Death is permanent.
Honor & Traits
Honor grants cumulative stat bonuses. Unique traits and historical origins shape each fighter's behavior in combat.
The 3-round combat system
Set your strategy before each phase. When the battle begins, your preparation speaks for you.
Two fighters clash on horseback. The winner triggers a devastating opening charge through all enemy combatants when the melee begins. Each enemy attempts to dodge individually based on their Agility stat.
The same two fighters meet in single combat on foot. Win both rounds in a row, and the match ends immediately - no melee required. A tactical opportunity to spare your best warriors.
Both teams field four warriors. Fighters from rounds 1 and 2 return with 30% of their max HP restored. If neither team swept the first two rounds, the melee determines the final winner.
