An upcoming online turn-based strategy with NO pay-to-win shortcuts, Feudums blends 4X with grand strategy and idler mechanics. Oversee your fiefdoms, build your noble house and lead your vassals through the battlefields of both war and diplomacy.

I'd love to share my upcoming game, Feudums, which I have mostly been working on solo (up to a few paid contributors when I can afford it) for over 9 years now.

Feudums is a medieval, turn-based 4X strategy with a multiplayer focus and no pay-to-win shortcuts, inspired by classic games like Lords of the Realm, Knights of Honor, and Crusader Kings. It blends robust multiplayer support (up to several thousand players per game) to enhance diplomacy and intrigue, while your noble house retains abilities and attributes from each game, carrying them forward into the next, combining kingdom management and persistent dynasty building.

Feudums is part builder, part strategy, completely moddable and is fully built around its players, with carefully crafted, hand-drawn visual style, contextual music tracks and original melodies to set the mood.

Feudums became the most popular upcoming 4X / Grand Strategy title on TactiCon 2023!

Community Focus: Inspired by Amplitude's Games2Gether and my own MUSH experiences (I co-built a couple of RPG MUSHs in the '90s and early 2000s), the multiplayer demo is continuously updated and always playable, serving as my interactive developer diary to ensure full transparency and dialogue.

The game is currently in development and will be released on PC - with possible Mac and tablet releases later on.

THE CURRENT STAGE
The demo has so far received 32+ regular updates (not counting patches) and is regularly updated for years. Heraldry, online multiplayer, modding, game customization, seasonal economy, warfare, diplomacy, and some idler features are now ready. An in-game guide, co-created with the community, helps new players. Based on community votes, the next major milestone will focus on the foundations of player-to-player vassalage and sieges.

Feudums is totally playable but still a work in progress - and I would love to hear your feedback!

WHY FOCUS ON MULTIPLAYER?
I love the social (and idler) aspects of old browser strategy games, but dislike pay-to-win. I also enjoy turn-based 4X and grand strategy games on high difficulties, but AIs' limitations lowers replayability. Feudums blends social gameplay and challenging human opponents with deep 4X / grand strategy, while all players have equal access to content and features in multiplayer. However, for those who prefer single-player, a campaign mode will be available with no online connection requirement.
