Game info
Rising Lords is a medieval turn-based strategy game with card and board game elements.
Send your serfs to fight and die in your name... or let them prosper, and use them to your advantage!
Collect taxes and resources. Dictate rations and field work. Forge weapons, reshape the battlefield, raise armies, and build mighty fortified cities.
Help your people become knights, or dump them on a battlefield far away, but be careful: even the most humble peasants will revolt eventually…
In addition to its campaign mode, Rising Lords features robust multiplayer functionality. Play a quick game, or settle in for an evening or more.
Play mind games with your friends with Rising Lords' special figures and spread false infos. Let them pay for their insolence in questioning your right to rule!
