Six ways to love this game
Nobody has to do everything. Pick the part you enjoy most and let the rest be handled by your people.
Builder
Raise a village into a city: roads, fields, workshops, walls. Watch your people live and work.
Traveler
Lead your own party over the map, find ruins, fords and lands nobody has seen.
Ruler
Gather vassals, pass laws, sign treaties and win wars without a single battle.
Commander
Choose the hill, flank the enemy and break the line with your cavalry.
Trader
Buy salt by the sea, sell it in the mountains, and keep your caravans alive.
Bandit
Ambush caravans on the forest road, hide in the hills and live by the law of the blade — until the lords come for your head.

What makes Alardon different
Be there from the beginning
Leave your email and we will tell you about playtests, big updates and the launch. No spam — only news about Alardon.
Huge tactical battles
Archers, infantry and cavalry in battles of hundreds and thousands. Command as a general or fight in the line as a hero.
Deep settlement building
Plan streets, fields and fortifications, then see construction rise stone by stone.
Your House, your story
You play a family, not a lone hero. Heirs, companions and a banner of your own. Defeat means a wound or captivity, not the end.
Politics with consequences
Kingdoms, votes, treaties, legitimate reasons for war and real sieges. Betrayal is possible — and remembered.
Free and fair
The game is free. Purchases are for looks and convenience only — never for troops, speed or power.
