Crown of Greed

From the Devs

Heavy is the head that wears the crown especially when nobody listens to it.

Forget about direct orders you know from other games of the genre. Master an unusual, indirect management system in which you must skillfully bend your subjects and heroes to your will. Claim the throne of Rodovia, build cities, recruit troops, expand your kingdom and exploit the power of a coin.

RULE THROUGH INDIRECT INFLUENCE

In this unique take on the city builder genre, you cannot issue direct orders. Your subjects have their own wills, fears, and desires. Want a monster den cleared? Set a bounty. Need a dangerous ruin explored? Post a reward. Master the art of motivation to get things done without ever clicking a single soldier.

BUILD AND EXPAND RODOVIA

Transform a humble settlement into a sprawling medieval empire. Strategically place buildings, manage resources, and establish a thriving economy. Every structure you raise attracts new types of heroes and citizens. Each of them brings their own skills and their own price tags.

EXPLORE LANDS STEEPED IN FOLKLORE

Travel through the gloomy, mysterious realms of Rodovia inspired by European medieval folk culture. Discover a variety of biomes, from dense forests and swamps to the treacherous icelands and deathlands. Venture into forgotten ruins, caves, and graveyards to face horrifying inhabitants like Basilisks, Drowners, and even the legendary Baba Yaga herself. Immerse yourself in the dark atmosphere with a haunting soundtrack composed by talented Polish artists. Remember that the greater the risk, the more gold flows back to your coffers.

WIELD ARCANE POWER 

When gold isn’t enough to sway the tides of fate, turn to the Arcane. As your strongholds grow, so does your knowledge of the mystic arts, unlocking new spells and powerful abilities to support your heroes or rain destruction upon your enemies.
 

HEROES WITH A MIND OF THEIR OWN

Recruit legendary champions who act on their own initiative, but choose wisely. Each hero comes with a unique set of randomized traits, both positive and negative. You might hire a Devout Warrior who excels against the undead but suffers from fragile health and low stamina. You might find a skilled Rogue who hides a dark secret or struggles with a costly vice. Your job is to ensure that their chaotic nature aligns with your goals by dangling the right amount of gold. Will they risk their lives for a copper, or will you need to empty the vault to save the realm?

THE HERITAGE SYSTEM

Your reign doesn’t end with a single mission. Between quests, use the Heritage Points earned during your campaign to unlock permanent upgrades for your kingdom. The more deadly the quest, the more points you receive. Invest in your realm's future to ensure that each subsequent ruler starts with a stronger foundation.
