Claim thy Land
Made for Ludum Dare 58
Warfare is obsolete!
The gods have forbidden bloodshed over land. Now, kings face each other in a trial of strategy.
Each presents a ten-year vision for expanding their realm, and the one with the sharper plan wins it all.
Plan your kingdom
Arrange your buildings carefully on the scroll — each choice will shape your kingdom’s growth for the next decade.
Watch your plans unfold
Once your scrolls are set, the years unfold.
Watch as your strategies clash in dynamic, unpredictable battles — where even a single building can decide the fate of your kingdom.
Choose your play style
Rule as Human, Undead, Beast, and more — each with unique abilities and buildings to shape your ideal kingdom.
Vast lands await conquest — so sharpen your wit and claim thy land.

why does shield sometimes not work
Thank you for reporting, this is a known issue and is already fixed in our dev build. We'll make a post when we're ready to share the update
why do you auto lose/win if you get to the full scroll, just repeatedly attack/activate every turn abilities until someone wins
this feature is in plans for full version
Some gameplay, a little critique ;)
Really enjoyed this. Wish there was more. Great job!
We're currently working on more content! You can subscribe to get notified when updates come
Fun and interesting game.
Tower description: "Deal 2 dmg for each empty surrounding cell." This should deal 8x2=16 dmg for 8 empty surrounding cells, if I understand the description correctly but only does 6 dmg each turn.
Can you send us a screenshot? Of how you placed the tower
Lots of fun. Great concept and good synergies. Thanks for the work.
Would love a difficulty setting. Even my first attempt was a win, and now I would like the challenge of facing, say, level 5 in the first round. Or maybe with higher difficulty no life regeneration between battles?
Thank you! More difficult content is work in progress
Fun
I like it! <3
wonderful little game
honestly I had fun
I won and it's a really good game. I hope you expand on this!
PLEASE ADD A SKIP TUTORIAL BUTTON
There is one in main menu.
If you already completed the tutorial, it should not repeat anymore, but we recently updated the build and unfortunately that erases your save file. Please use skip button
Really enjoyed this! It's very clever and entertaining.
Adding a speed up button during battles might be helpful but that's being nitpicky!
amazing game lol mechanic is so great i can play this for hours and still not get bored
Great game, need more of it, just wishlisted
Quite fun, but wish the animations were a bit faster!
How do you place buildings?
green checkmark
Very fun! I did notice a bug where I was ignoring the enemy's defense from walls.
Possible balance suggestions:
Speed doesn't feel very utilized. I think that it also indirectly nerfs spike because you can end up spiking them right before they house a new troop so the spike does nothing.
Would be cool to have a unit that does damage based on speed or something.
Wheat + housing does a little bit too much damage (I was doing 50+ by turn 3). Wheat feels strictly better than all other damage options - perhaps make it a bit riskier (+0 power if no housing nearby, +2 if there is).
Overall very fun but a little unbalanced (to be expected)
Another bug(?) I noted:
If you buy the decree upgrade after using your final decree you won't benefit until the next round. (Sell last decree to get enough gold to buy upgrade). I think you should technically get 1 more decree.
Nice game logic ! I really need an unlimited mode :)
Very enjoyable
Очень крутая задумка!! Единственное что вызвало напряжение это оооооооочень долгие анимации сражений. Прям так и хочется взять этот рулон да кааак развернуть....
А еще мне очень понравился типчик котторый в начале вещает такое бубубубубубу - я чет прям заржал. Надеюсь в полной версии мы его еще увидим
Дай бог разработчикам здоровья
Прикольная задумка, но x3 mode бы не помешал. Некоторые карты, как мне показалось, юзлесс - та же кузница, башня или лошадь: есть альтернативы в разы лучше. Пшеница, которую можно комбинировать с домами (которые тебе и так нужны), выглядит куда выгоднее. А церкви - это вообще лютый имбаланс: построил три церкви, и противник в 80% случаев не может перебить хил, а так игра понравилась
Спасибо за фидбек!
Враги сейчас в целом довольно простые, потому что мы смотрели на аналитику и очень много ребят умирало не доходя даже до середины игры. Поскольку это прототип, хочется большему количеству игроков дать возможность увидеть весь текущий контент :)
Тем не менее, мы сейчас активно работаем над контентом, которым будут довольны игроки любого уровня скилла. Разнообразные уровни сложности помогут выразить преимущество кузниц перед фермами в зависимости от ситуации — ну и в целом мы дадим каждому предмету право на существование на вашем столе.
Демка готовится выйти в Стим!
Super cool game ! Love it despite some run are not well balanced and speed up game option is clunky. I really love your graphics and gameplay, very good job :)
Thank you! We plan to make some balance overhaul in near future, so stay tuned!
I did well until i had a run where not a single house spawned as a choice, and of course the enemy had a spike, so no matter how good my setup was, i was doomed. That definitely needs balancing.
Otherwise i love the concept and execution, it's really neat :)
Thank you so much for the feedback! Receiving a comment by BippinBits is an honor as I love the work you guys do!
We are aware of some rng issues and will definetely have a balance overhaul. For now we just hope you will have better luck in your next run, give it a chance!
It feels a little bullshit that you can immediately be neutered
They always go second to you and if they have spikes that is a very large advantage, always preferable to going first
Right now the only counter play is to strategize your unit position a bit more sparingly. In future though we would think about other ways you can predict enemy spikes.
For the demo the enemies have fixed building layouts, so please feel free to come back and smack those spike abusers!
Cool game. I like the little visual details like the scroll unrolling towards the end, the walls impacting when you lose armor, and the little guys hopping off onto the UI. Mage tower might be a bit OP. It would be nice to have information about what each resource does when hovering (early on I had forgotten that units mult your damage and couldn’t figure out why I was doing zero damage). Gamefeel is good, though an optional speed increase would be welcome. I’m typically not a big fan of auto-battler type games but I liked this one.
концепт ок, но всё слишком медленно
Скоро зальем апдейт с небольшими поправками, должно стать чуть лучше!
Веб билд обновлен. Чуть позже сделаем ещё лучше (там надо подумать чтобы звуки не сломать), но пока что по быстренькому добавили ускорение с каждой новой колонкой в бою
Rly good game. I enjoy both the game feel and tactic/stratagy part! But i want something like x2 or mb x3 animation speed for faster gameplay.
The visual vibe and atmosphere were great, and the game flow reminded me of Backpack Battles.It was a bit lacking in game feel and speed - the hand moves a bit too slowly. Anyways,I really liked the game. I hope the idea keeps developing.
Nice idea!
There is some unexplained things, like that you can sell a degree for 5 gold (wich makes two or one gold blocks more worthy to be sold) and that the buff are permanent upgrades, so they're very important
Yeah we didn't have time on Jam to explain all the things, so we resorted to the most important ones. I'm glad you discovered optimal strategies yourself! We plan to improve explanations and balance of the things in post-jam version, so stay tuned!
