Five thousand years of history, working for you. It starts with mud-brick huts in Sumer. Twenty-nine ages later you're running the Han Dynasty. And history isn't finished yet. Each age feeds the next. Grain from Sumer becomes gold in Akkad, becomes monuments in Egypt, becomes legions in Rome. SUMMON THE GREATS Gilgamesh. Cleopatra. Hammurabi. Ramses II. 115 heroes who double production, quicken cycles, or run an age for you. Legendaries hold sway over several at once. WALK AWAY. COME BACK RICHER. Give an age a manager and it keeps working with the app closed. Return to a fortune, reinvest in a minute, get on with your day. EVENTS Fresh empires with their own currencies and leaderboards. Climb, claim heroes, keep them for good.
Magekeep Siege
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hold the tower. Grow the keep. Raid the seas. Magekeep Siege is a 3D hex-citadel sim. You are the warden of a living island — farms, lumber, mines, houses, and barracks tick in real time, even while you are away. Wave defense is one activity of that citadel, not the whole game. BUILD THE HEX KEEP • Place farms, mills, mines, houses, markets, taverns, and barracks on a hex island • Chop wall groves, bridge to nearby islets, and upgrade plots up to level 6 • Food, wood, iron, and gold keep producing for up to 8 hours while you are gone HIRE AND RAID • Hire knights from the castle once a farm is running • March them against other players' keep snapshots • Win gold — or send them to rest if the raid fails DEFEND THE WALLS • Your mage holds the battlements against rogues, slimes, and warbands • Draft blessings, cast Inferno / Frost / Storm, and grow the roof mage • Outposts, biomes, and prestige sigils deepen a long run This is an original Balcony Games title. Combat, keep economy, knight raids, and the first-session citadel tutorial were built for Magekeep — not a reskin of a wave-defense template.
