About this game
Lands of Rumour is a minimalistic turn-based 4X game about hiding. Embrace the atmosphere of Robin Hood, explore new lands, develop villages and change terrain, gather followers and defend your homeland in dynamic conditions.
EXPLORE NEW LANDS
Find your way through the clouds and look for the richest places. There are mountain ranges and plentiful valleys, but also enemies in the mist.
DEVELOP VILLAGES AND TERRAIN
Gather people to create new villages, but the choice of their development will be crucial. You can even change the tiles themselves, which will be useful both during manoeuvres and construction.
HIDE IN THE SHADOWS
Hide from your enemies so your small settlements can survive. Plan where and when your units will be seen to control the conflict.
CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES
Not all places can be defended, and sometimes, it is better just to let go. Move on, defeat enemies in key places and win!
Features:
highly tactical combat without RNG, with several distinct units
classical elements of a 4X: exploration, expansion, exploitation and extermination, served in a minimalistic manner
no "solved case" syndrome
innovative position of a low-power empire
