Bellfortis

Bellfortis is a strategy game set in the early Middle Ages, when Europe’s first kingdoms were trying to strengthen their power and resist raids from tribes in the east and north. You choose a side, stabilize your country, subjugate neighboring rulers and build an empire. The game combines a tactical, turn-based map with real-time battles.

Rule and expand

Build up your provinces, recruit armies and conquer territory by force or through politics. You can destroy enemies, improve relations with diplomats, gain allies or even bring entire kingdoms to your side. Spies can gather information or weaken your enemies, while helping others can win you friends and loyal supporters.

Rival rulers and events

Opponents make strategic decisions according to their individual behavior. Some focus on improving their empires peacefully, while others pursue conquest. Dozens of random events affect the world, with effects that may help or harm you; you can ignore them or turn them to your advantage.

Armies and battles

Construct important military buildings in your provinces to unlock new units, then recruit them into your armies. Your efforts culminate in real-time battles, where your troops clash with the enemy. Choose tactics or send your forces on the offensive. When defending, you can use objects gained through research, including barrels of oil and incendiary arrows.
