About this game
"Your Majesty, our castle lies in ruins, and our scattered forces are fleeing for their lives..."
The Engine Behemoths and Magic Fire of the Deranged Legion have swept across every inch of the Empire, leaving only ashes in their wake. As the exiled King, you must evade the Legion's encirclement and lead your remnants to rebuild the economy, technology, and military amidst the ruins. Every decision determines the Empire's survival; your wisdom and strategy will decide if the Empire can rise from the ashes.
Survival, Expansion, Development, and Conquest: Diverse Campaign Modes
With your remnants scattered across the land, you must command them to survive the Deranged Legion's siege and defend your last strongholds. As your power grows, missions evolve: escort Mages and craftsmen, intercept enemy supplies, seize strategic locations, or launch offensives against enemy bases to drive the Legion from the continent. Every campaign tests your strategy, challenging you to restore the Empire's glory from the brink of despair.
Streamlined Building System: Instant Construction, Immediate Effect
The wilderness awaits your reconstruction. Select a building and click to place it—construction is immediate. While workers, architects, and carriers still toil, tedious micromanagement has been streamlined. Every layout choice directly impacts resource flow and military operations. Focus on grand strategy and development to forge scattered forces into the pillars of an Empire.
Zero-Micromanagement Units: Deploy Freely, Auto-Battle
Soldiers, Engine Machines, and Magic Units can be deployed anywhere on the battlefield, engaging in combat automatically. No need to micromanage individual soldiers; simply focus on formation and strategic layout. Watch your army clash, slaughter, and cooperate on the field, experiencing the thrill of commanding a massive Imperial war.
Magic & Engine Tech: Create Unique Buildings and Units
The Empire's remnants are regrouping in the wild, awaiting your command over various Engine Machines and Magic Technologies. Research mechanical Engines, forbidden Magic, or a fusion of both. Unlock unique buildings: from efficient resource workshops and auxiliary Magic devices to powerful defensive towers and strategic facilities. Every structure influences resource flow and battle tactics, helping you rebuild a solid foundation for the Empire.
Through technology, unlock distinctive units: from sturdy Combat Engines to devastating Magic Legions, and even powerful airships fusing Engine and Magic. Each unit type possesses unique abilities and tactical roles, allowing you to deploy troops freely, adapt to the Deranged Legion's attacks, and craft diverse strategic combinations.
Create and Share Freely: Map Editor & Workshop
With the powerful built-in Map Editor, you can freely arrange terrain, buildings, and units across wilderness, ruins, and strongholds. Design defense missions, remnant survival challenges, or grand conquest battlefields. Share or download maps via the Workshop, ensuring the Empire's war and adventures never end.
