Lost Realms is a completely free (and no ads!) indie strategy game. It's a mash up of chess and your medieval RTS favorites. Build your empire, expand your economy, raise an army, and vanquish your opponents. Easy to learn, but hard to master. Conquering your opponents will require carefully balancing your economy with your military, controlling your armies to outflank your opponents, and researching the right technologies. This could be rushing your opponent with an early attack or building towers to defend your superior economy. And each civilization offers unique bonuses and units to make every game unique. - Play a campaign as the civilization of Jakarth - Play against the AI as an civilization on different maps - Learn strategy though guided tutorials The game is entirely free with no ads. I don't currently make any money off the game. The app also does not collect any personal information. It's just a game for you to enjoy.
