Read full description

Arise and Conquer is a strategy war game that respects your time โ€” no endless waiting, no difficulty walls, and no pay-to-win. BUILD YOUR HOLD Raise your keep, walls and workshops instantly with the resources you earn. There are no build timers, ever โ€” nothing to wait on and nothing to pay to skip. MUSTER A HOST Recruit spearmen, shieldbearers, archers, cavalry, berserkers and rams โ€” each strong against some and weak to others. Compose the right army and read the counters. WIN REAL BATTLES The Siege Engine resolves every fight deterministically, round by round, and the Battle Theater plays it back so you can see exactly why you won or lost. Skill decides it โ€” never a wallet. CONQUER THE CAMPAIGN March on stronghold after stronghold, run hunting expeditions, gather your Might, and rise from Levy Recruit to Warlord. WARLORD'S COMMAND PASS (optional subscription) The whole core game is free, and you can play it without an account. The Command Pass adds the three Legendary chapters, the Tactician's Counter Advisor, your full war log with battle replays, and unlimited saved army loadouts โ€” never extra power. - Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your Apple account settings Privacy Policy: https://nzebnzwe4k.accountnotify.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://nzebnzwe4k.accountnotify.app/terms
