A medieval hex based strategy game, paying tribute to Championship / Football Manager. Made for LD49 with Brainoid & ElysiaGriffin.

This game was inspired by the stats-driven simulation games, such as Football Manager. Instead of football, our games setting was medieval combat! You move around a hex-based world, visiting various points of interest to help you manage your troops. Troops need their stats, like hunger and happiness, maintained.

The game’s mechanics were not obvious to players, which made the game difficult for some to enjoy. The individual player management also added a level of tedium; the game would have massively benefited from some quality of live improvements to perform bulk actions.

It was great to work with my wife Elysia, who did all the 2d sprite work, including modular soldier faces so we could generate a large amount of different faces.
