The Long Return
Reclaim your throne. Travel node-to-node, build supplies, grow followers, train an army, survive raids, and finally assault The Last City in three stages.
Core loop
Forage for food, Chop for wood, Mine for iron. These actions increase raid pressure.
Followers vs Army
Recruit grows followers (costs food).
Train converts followers into army (costs wood + iron).
Train converts followers into army (costs wood + iron).
Travel costs food
Each travel step costs food. If food hits 0, you can still play, but your growth slows and raids hurt more.
Raids
Raids scale with pressure, but are capped so you usually win unless you ignore training.
Next: choose your clan and begin the journey.
