Chieftain

Chieftain is a fantasy world-conquest game that combines a procedurally generated 4X world with real-time battles featuring hundreds of soldiers. You build an economy, recruit armies, conduct diplomacy and conquer foreign lands while defending your own. Your goal is to defeat your rivals and conquer the world.

Build your realm

Create armies, settlers and builders to expand across the world map. Build farms, villages, lumberyards and iron mines to gather resources, or form alliances and make enemies as you pursue conquest. Maintain your economy and buy troops, from peasants to musketmen, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Worlds can contain up to 80 AI nations, and each playthrough generates a new map.

Lead your armies

When a battle begins, the game switches to Battle mode. Your troops appear on a procedurally generated battlefield and wait for your orders. Use fast cavalry to attack from the rear or cheap peasants to occupy enemies while you deal with their bowmen. Once troops are locked in melee, disengaging them is difficult. Soldiers can tire, slowing their movement, or become so afraid that they flee the battlefield.

The nations

Worlds contain nations from seven fantasy races:

• Humans, who have inhabited these lands since days immemorial.
• Goblins, an evil, hunchbacked race of demons.
• The Kioha, an undead tribe spawned from the nethers of Hell.
• Freyja, an odd entity originally from the snow-lands.
• Draco, cold-hearted lizard-serpents.
• The Vacca, a race of beasts of burden and tough warriors.
• The Lupin, cunning, sly wolf-like creatures.
