Read full description

Realmkeeper is a turn-based strategy game about ruling a medieval estate. Each season brings new decisions — how much grain to distribute, how much land to cultivate, how high to set taxes, and where to invest your gold. Can you keep wealth, health, and public mood in balance? Throughout the year you will face events that can help or harm your domain. Drought, disease, trade opportunities, or refugees seeking shelter — every decision has consequences. Watch your resources carefully and plan your next move. Develop your realm by building structures that strengthen your economy and stability: expand the granary, build irrigation, open a market, or invest in a clinic or guard post. Each building can change the future of your kingdom. Choose your difficulty and scenario length, and guide your realm toward prosperity. Can you meet all objectives within five, ten, or twenty years and leave your mark in the chronicles? Game Features • Turn-based strategy with four seasons • Manage resources: gold, grain, land, population, health and mood • Random and decision-based events • Buildings that shape the economy and stability • Three difficulty levels: Relaxed, Standard, Harsh • Campaigns lasting 5, 10, or 20 years • Atmospheric medieval setting
