You start off with just your king and a tavern that can recruit a single peasant each day. Head out on adventures to earn gold and resources, then use them to build new structures and upgrade existing ones. Each of your characters can have two levels of training, which...
Short game with limited replayability but let's you explore new classes by training units in different combination of buildings. It's mildly tactical but serviceable for the game of this size. One negative is that some UX could be better and some tooltips would've been good to have.
Fantastic game. Give it 10-20 minutes and you'll start to feel the momentum building. Really love the Battle Realms-style combat training.
