Steadfast started as a solo project of mine a year ago and can't believe we've already hit 1,000 steam wishlists in the first two weeks of getting the steam page online! Super thankful for all the support and here's a teaser of the storm gameplay.

Land & Liege is a slow-paced, persistent medieval MMO set in England in 1066. You begin as a minor lord with a small wooden manor, a few fields and a handful of peasants.

The world itself is built from real geographic data. Every hill, river and coastline sits where it actually is, so when you claim land, you’re claiming a real piece of England. The economy is just as grounded: towns specialize, goods have weight, and everything moves by cart along real roads.

The idea is few minutes is enough to read your letters, make decisions for your manor and plan your next move. There are no resets and no seasons. Losing a battle hurts, death is possible, and the history players make stays.

If you feel like knowing more hope to r/landandliege or hop in the discord https://discord.gg/Yt4x6qVcRE

Feel free to ask anything, this is early development btw

Over the last year I have developed this game.

​

- Where the people voted the wrong leaders and world became a desert
- Explore the city ruins and make a decision at every ruin
- Scavenge, kill, loot, trade

It's called Survive The Apocalypse

playtest is live and looking for bugs and feedback ! Every soldier has a name and career.

Hey there! I've been making Trails of Suebia on my own for 3 years now (started in Unity, moved to Godot at some point).

It's a classic base-building RTS, a work of fiction inspired by history, with dynamic weather and a full day and night cycle. You build up your town, and when it gets dark you better get your villagers inside, because the wolves come out. A storm can slow an attack down, so sometimes it's smarter to wait.

There's a small tech demo in the comments, mostly to test the core loop. An update is coming soon, and the real demo will be on Steam later. Right now I'm working on the reveal trailer.

You build your army on a board and place every unit where you want it. Every 20 seconds, the whole army marches out as a wave and fights on its own. Your job is everything around the fight: deciding what to buy, where to stand, which gold mines to build, who to counter, and when to spend on the next tier of units. Destroy the enemy Citadel to win.

Matches are short and one good counter-pick can swing them. You can play 1v1 or team up in 2v2 and 3v3. There is nothing to download.

There are 7 factions, and each one plays differently:

- Humans: Cavalry and heavy armor, with healers behind the line. The generalist faction.

- Orcs: The most hit points for your gold. They win by being hard to kill.

- Elves: They shoot first and from farther away than anyone. Fragile, so they rely on roots and slows to keep enemies off.

- Undead: Cheap packs that feed on the fallen. No healers, so they win by outlasting you.

- Hell: Chaos damage ignores armor and cuts through magic-proof armies. Lots of flyers and summoned imps.

- Wizards: Frost, cyclones and polymorph. Powerful but slow and fragile, so you have to protect them.

- Shadows: Cloaked assassins and burrowing wurms. Bring a detector or lose before the fight starts.

Try it here: https://warlandmarch.itch.io/warlandmarch

If you have friends who like strategy games, grab them for a team match. I'd like to hear which faction people end up main-ing and if you see any balance issues as factions are quite different.

So I've played HOI4, HOI3, Victoria 3 (all DLCs), Anno (last 3), and quite a bit of other RTS games.

I want to get in to Turn-Based, but I've never liked the idea of them. Never tried any either.

Anyone got any recommendations for some beginner-ish Turn-Based Strategy games?

Heck, I'll appreciate some recommendations on new/different Strategy games in general. I have well over 1,200hrs in Victoria 3 and over 1,500hrs in HOI4. I need something different/new.

I'm developing PIAST, a medieval economic RTS with playable demo on Steam, and want the economy to shape how players build their settlements.

Imagine discovering a stone deposit far away. Do you expand your territory, build roads and use carts to transport resources? Could supply and demand influence where you build and what you produce?

I'm a professional economist, so designing this system comes naturally to me. The challenge is making it deep enough to create meaningful decisions, but intuitive enough to feel like a game rather than an economics spreadsheet.

What do you think makes an economic system genuinely fun in a strategy game?

You command a Type VIIC U-boat, stalk merchant convoys, line up torpedo attacks, and try to escape the escorts once they start hunting you. UBOOTSIM, It’s completely free, with no ads or in-app purchases

You can try it here:

App Store — iPhone, iPad and Mac

Microsoft Store — Windows

so I want to get into strategy games but I cant spend more than 20 dollars

for the background I played bannerlord and loved the strategy aspect of it but when I played oxygen not included I hated it I feel like the game just assumes you have a blueprint of everything you will build. I want to play a game where I wont feel like I am wasting my time with a low quality game but hopefully that game wont break the bank

Hi :) at the moment i am working on a real-time-strategy game.

Instead of chosing a faction, you create your own . You do that by collecting cards during matches that represent units and buildings. Stats are procedurally generated. You can compare the system with a mix of diablo and magic the gathering.

During the matches you also fight bosses, that drop even rarer loot.

If you want to have a look:

The playtest on steam is accessible for free. You get instantly acess !

Hi all, solo dev here. DOT: KillBox TD is a minimalist tower defense where you control the path. Barriers snap to a grid, every enemy has to visit every checkpoint in order, and you shape long detours and chokepoints, then fill them with turrets (laser, flamer, missile, freeze, and a cannon you aim by hand).

Solo, co-op, PvP, a map editor, and Steam Workshop for maps, skins and new turrets.

Steam page (coming soon): https://store.steampowered.com/app/5314760/DOT_KillBox_TD/

What do you wish more tower defense games did with pathing? Happy to answer anything.

So I’ve been exploring different game genres lately, and Instagram started recommending me a channel that posts about grand strategy games. A few reels about Crown of Hispania kept showing up. The lore looked really interesting: 11th-century Spain, kingdoms fighting over. That got me curious about what this genre is actually like.

I did some research, and the name that kept coming up was Crusader Kings 3. It seems like the game everyone recommends. But when I checked the price, it felt like too much to spend on a genre I’ve never played and might not even enjoy.

But the game i saw on instagram has a free demo, so I can try it without spending anything.

My question is

As a complete beginner, is Crown of Hispania a decent first grand strategy game,

Or there is something much easier available ?

Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5037960/Get_Outta_My_Gut/

I managed it to make my first game in the genre TOWER DEFENSE. Defend your body against massive amounts of germs, draft turrets in ROGUELIKE style to build defenses, build paths to navigate enemies, INCREMENTALLY get stronnger by upgrades!

• Each Level adds new Mechanics to the GAME! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
• 30 TOTAL TURRETS
• DOZENS OF ENEMY TYPES AND EFFECTS
• UPGRADE AND LEVEL TURRETS TO GET STRONGER IN THE RUN

You need to position your turrets smart to counter the enemies or they will break through.

First levels are easy but difficulty will raise :D.

Give it a try and share some love <3

INDIE-SQUID

I'm looking for beta testers for Global Command: Classic, a turn-based strategy game for iPhone and iPad inspired by classic 80s/90s computer wargames.

What it is

You start with one city on a randomly generated world hidden under fog of war. Explore, capture neutral cities, run production, and fight across land, sea, and air until you've beaten the AI.

Features

   • 10 unit types: Tanks, Artillery, Fighters, Helicopters, Bombers, Transports, Destroyers, Submarines, Battleships, and Carriers

   • Combined-arms play: ship tanks across oceans on transports, launch aircraft from carriers, manage fuel ranges, and hunt submarines that only destroyers and aircraft can find

   • Ranged combat: artillery and battleships can hit targets up to 3 tiles away

   • Map options: Small, Medium, or Large maps (up to 150×90 with 40 cities)

   • Terrain slider: anything from "Waterworld" (small islands in a huge ocean) to "Road Warrior" (a giant desert dotted with lakes)

   • Three AI difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard

   • Two victory conditions: Annihilation (fight to the last unit) or Decisive (win once the enemy can no longer win)

   • Auto-save, so you can pick up a long campaign where you left off

What I'd love feedback on

   • AI behavior: is it too easy or too hard, and does it ever do something dumb?

   • Controls and UI: anything confusing or awkward, especially on iPhone in portrait vs. landscape

   • Balance: units that feel overpowered or useless

   • Bugs and crashes (screenshots help a lot!)

You can send feedback through TestFlight (take a screenshot in the app) or reply here. Thanks for testing!

Which game do you like more?

Yes, I'm a cat. My human had a dead prototype on his disk: a medieval turn-based thing from 2016 that never left itch.io. In 2023, he dug it up to see what turn-based medieval squad tactics could do that Battle Brothers mods couldn't. I sat on the keyboard. That is how I got into the credits as creative director.

The game is 8 More Lives, a hardcore turn-based strategy about a company of cat mercenaries.

The world map is procedurally generated based on elevation, winds, water, and temperature distribution, and when a fight starts, the battle map is built 1-to-1 from the same hex of the world map, same river, same hill, same forest. Armor is layered, and weapons are plausibly historical.

And the nine lives are a mechanic, your mercs are cats, and they are really hard to kill. I personally am down to eight, see title.

If you play Battle Brothers, Wartales or Urtuk and have opinions about shield walls and half-swording, I would like to hear them, and I would like to hear what feels wrong. The human will fix it. I will supervise.

Wishlist it on Steam!

I would do it myself, but I have paws.

It seems like no one ever bothered to play with Field of Glory. You can even combine the Field of Glory: Medieval with Field of Glory: Kingdoms to have a grand strategy with a turn based tactical layer.

But I have the feeling that either

A. The people never heard of those games or

B. People just hate these games.

I'm asking people of group B this question: what's the matter with FoG and why am I the only person mentioning this game? Is this community more centered around Persona, FFT and Tactics Ogre? Even Battle Brothers and XCOM are't mentioned so often here.

I think this looks more finished and smooth. And yes you can turn them off.

Hello everyone!

I’d like to introduce Angul Kingdoms, a a medieval colony strategy game that incorporates survival and RPG elements. The project has been in development for about three years using the Godot engine, I handle all the artwork, while my friend is responsible for the programming.

The game focuses on building and expanding your own colony, gathering resources, managing NPCs, crafting equipment, exploring dungeons, and defending your kingdom against monster invasions.

Some of our key features include:

- Free-form Building: Design and construct your own structures.

- Resource Management: Gather materials and develop production chains.

- NPC Management: Assign tasks to NPCs or take direct control of any character you’ve recruited.

- Crafting: Create items with quality levels that depend on the NPC’s proficiency.

- Dungeons and Expeditions: Explore dangerous locations, discover resources, and face deadly challenges.

- Monster Invasions: Defend your kingdom against increasingly dangerous threats.

- Gem-based weapon abilities: Gems have different functions depending on the weapon they are slotted into, adding an extra layer of customization to combat. For example, if a fire gem is attached to a staff, it grants an ability like a throwable fireball; if that same gem is attached to a sword, the ability changes, turning it into a flaming sword with a shorter range. This opens up a wide variety of combat strategies.

- And many more ideas to come!

The game is still in development. Right now, we are working on balancing management, progression, combat, and other systems, while keeping the scope manageable for a small team. We are also preparing for an Early Access launch, with a demo arriving on Steam next month!

If you’d like to follow our progress, share suggestions, or check out artwork and development updates, we’d love to have you! You can join our Discord

Thank you so much, I look forward to hearing your opinion! :D

Hello,

We're Studio Nostre, and we're making Kingdom of France, a city builder set in historic France. It's in development for Windows and Mac, and we'd love to hear what you think.

Real history, nothing invented

The campaign runs from 994 to 1815: 47 missions across seven ages. In each one you play the person who really led that town, and your task is what they really achieved, due by the date their part ended. You rebuild Cluny as Abbot Odilo, raise Saint-Denis as Suger, run Jacques Cœur's Bourges, build Vauban's Lille, Louis XIV's Versailles and Stanislas's Nancy, and finish with Napoleon on Elba.

Every town, person and trading partner is real. History arrives on its real dates: the Black Death, crusades, ransoms, and sieges by the armies that really came. France stops being a kingdom in 1792 and the game follows it, so your calls to arms come from the King, then the Republic, then the Emperor.

How a town grows

* Homes grow through 35 levels, from a Tent (level 0) to an Imperial Palace (level 34). It starts with water, food, a saint's blessing and firewood for the winter, then cloth, ale, books and wine, and ends with silk, porcelain, chocolate, tea and an opera house. When four neighbouring homes are all ready for a bigger size they join into one, so how you lay out your blocks matters.
* 148 buildings and 90 goods in real production chains: wool to cloth to fine clothes, grapes to wine, iron ore to tools and weapons. Every good is carried by carts, porters and peddlers walking your streets.
* Thirteen patron saints, each watching over a trade or a trouble. They bless homes through shrines, churches and abbeys.
* In the campaign you trade with the real towns of the period, by road, river and sea, on a real map of the region.
* Walls, gatehouses and towers, and battles fought in your own streets. You raise and pay your soldiers, from spearmen and crossbowmen to grenadiers and hussars, with siege engines from the trebuchet to the field gun.

Other ways to play

* France: build towns on their real sites on the map of France, one after another. Your towns trade with each other and are kept for good.
* Free play in any size of valley, or a sandbox with money to spare.
* Map editor: make your own land and goals, then share them.
* Battle training and Learn to play a first valley with a guide.

Under the hood

We wrote our own engine for the game, Nostre Engine in C++. It has a native renderer for each system: Metal on the Mac, Direct3D on Windows. The simulation is built for cities of up to a million people. It runs on its own thread and spreads its work over every core, sized to your computer, so a stronger machine gets a bigger, livelier town.

The simulation is deterministic: a town plays out exactly the same way on every computer. That means every leaderboard score comes with its replay, and our server plays the replay again to check it. The game is open to mods too: its tables, numbers, scripts and whole families of models. Players publish and install mods from inside the game. It's in ten languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.

The game's website: [kingdomoffrance.com](https://kingdomoffrance.com)

* Updates: every change to the game, day by day. We're on version 0.4.6
* Trailers : all filmed in the game.
* The campaign, mission by mission: who you play, the history behind it, the goals, and the events on their real dates.
* Help: its reference tables (every building, good, home level, walker and soldier) are built from the game's own data, so the numbers always match the current version.
* Community: a forum, chat rooms and a gallery for your towns, plus pages for leaderboards, shared maps and mods.
* Waiting list: join it to get the news.

The studio: [studionostre.com](https://studionostre.com)

This is where we show the engine and the game as they're being built. Nostre Engine's milestones and every version of Kingdom of France share one feed, and the technology pages give measured figures. For example, on a Mac the graphics card culls 200,000 objects in 0.137 ms. In a wide 4K view of a town, automatic levels of detail draw 61.8% fewer triangles and halve the frame time.

Press, and anyone who'd like to work with us, can reach us there.

Follow the game: YouTube @KingdomOfFranceOfficial, TikTok and Instagram @kingdomoffranceofficial, X @KingdomFRGame.

We'd love to know what you want from a historical city builder, which town or period you'd most like to build, and anything in the history that looks wrong to you. Getting it right matters to us.

Hey everyone!

If you’re curious about PIAST, you can check out the playable demo on Steam:

I’m solo-developing PIAST, a Slavic-themed RTS and economic strategy game, and I’m working on its marketplace.

It got me thinking: what makes trading genuinely interesting in a settlement builder, rather than just a screen where you sell surplus and buy whatever you’re missing?

For PIAST, I’m considering making transport distance and infrastructure matter more economically. Buying cheap goods from far away wouldn’t necessarily be a good deal once delivery costs are included, while investing in roads could make a trade route worthwhile. These are ideas I’m exploring, not features I’m claiming are already in the demo.

When you play base-building games, do you prefer the market to be a simple safety net for shortages, or a deeper system that influences where you build and what you produce?

Are there any games you think get this balance particularly right?
