Game modes

The world has been covered by a strange Mist. Dense patches of it are not passable.

Horrors are attracted to human settlements and attack frequently. Swarms attack every night but scattered horrors can also sometimes attack in daylight. Every night before the attack a red arrow will show the direction of the attacking swarm and a curved bar on top will show the remaining time until they attack. Hovering over the attack direction arrow will list the attacking units.

Your Citadel is your settlement's heart. It must not fall. It stores natural resources like Wood, which you will need to rebuild your fortress. Buildings have to be placed within the Citadel's territory. Pieces can be built outside those limits.

Citizen capacity is increased by constructing Shacks and Homesteads.

Unit types

All humans fight from distance. Hovering over a human will display its range.

Each troop has its own role, strengths and weaknesses.

• Lobbers have more health and a range of 7 tiles
• Bowmen has less health and a range of 9 tiles

Different troops will fight better at different heights:

• Low-ground units get increased splash damage when at 4 meters or less above their target
• Hough-ground units have increased critical chance when at 5 meters or more above their target

Buildings

All buildings need a path to the citadel to function and will shut down if pieces facilitating this are destroyed or recycled.

Buildings can be stacked on top of other buildings if there is room.
