The front

Watch the lines meet

Two hosts of 39 march into the open and lock shields. Then a volley of catapult stones comes down on the red ranks. Recorded in the game.

Orders

Command with lines

Draw a belt
Belts are rally lines that never stop. Right-drag from your army to where the war should go. Idle troops board it and ride it to the front.
Take the provinces
Set the belt to Conquer, Move or Engage. Reinforcements keep joining, and you can bend the front mid-battle.
Raze their castle
Build on gold mines, train an army, raise towers, and bring the rival castle down before they bring down yours.

Your host

Six roles, one triangle

Every unit has a job and a counter. Click a card for its numbers in the wiki.

Front line

Warrior

Tough and steady. Stand them before your archers and monks. They cut archers down.

Charge

Lancer

Sharp on the charge, they run down warriors. They fear the arrow.

Volley

Archer

Shoot from behind the line. They punish lancers, but a warrior closing in ends them.

Healer

Monk

Keeps the host on its feet. Keep them with the host, away from the spy.

Scout

Spy

Sees twice as far and takes empty land without a fight. Hunts a lonely monk.

Miner

Pawn

Carries gold from the mines to your castle. You do not command them.

Warriors cut through archers, archers shoot lancers off their feet, and lancers run down warriors. Mix your host, split the rival's, or watch them do it to you.

Supplies

Built for real duels

An authoritative server, a fair fog and a ladder that means something.

Online 1v1

Quick Match, private matches with a 4-digit code, rematches and a minute to reconnect if your connection drops.

A new kingdom every match

Procedural maps split into provinces, rivers, forests and gold mines, in twelve seasons of scenery.

Real fog of war

The server only sends what your side can see. No map hacks, no peeking.

The Catapult

One devastating long-range throw. Your rival sees a red ring where the stone will land, a few seconds before it does.

Bots always ready

Bot-Easy, Bot-Normal and Bot-Hard wait in the lobby. They play by your rules and only see what their side sees.

Ranked ladder

Map editor

Paint your own kingdom, test it against a bot and publish it to the Maps catalogue for everyone to play.

A wiki with animations

Every unit, building and rule, with numbers taken straight from the game.

Replays

Ranked matches are recorded. Watch them again, chart the economy and share the link.

The map editor

Paint your own kingdom

Rivers, lakes, forests, gold mines, a troll's lair, sheep: paint them in, and Mirror lays every stroke on the rival's half too, so the map stays fair. Move the castles, cut the provinces and pick the time of year.

Then test it against a bot and publish it to the Maps catalogue for everyone to play.

The wilds — here be trolls

Something is sleeping in the trees. Do not knock.

Turn on the Wilds and trolls, goblin bands and harpoon sharks guard the land. Wake one, fell it, and the bounty is yours. A troll's first waking fells the forest around its lair for good.
