Long · 113 words

Kings By Dawn is a persistent online strategy game set on the islands of an ancient Mediterranean sea. Every player rules a coastal village: raise 20 buildings through 25 levels each, keep six resources flowing, and research 359 University projects. Train 22 types of troops and warships across two theaters of war, each with its own counters, then raid Barbarian camps, hunt pirate fleets, join Kraken world events, take on your own daily Cyclops — or march on rival rulers. Alliances of up to fifty players share a chat, a banner and a place in the standings. Cities keep working while you are away, and one account follows you across Windows and Android.
