Cults and Daggers

Cults and Daggers is a turn-based strategy game set in the Hellenistic era, covering more than 400 years between the death of the Buddha and the birth of Christ. You create a religion and wage a secret war for influence across the Mediterranean, using your disciples to preach, convert noble families and manipulate the rise and fall of city-states.

Faith and conspiracy

You customise your faith and write its myths as you build its influence. Spies, assassinations and double dealing let you pursue your ambitions through subterfuge, while prophets, martyrs and blasphemers feature in the struggle.

The game includes a procedurally generated technology tree and adventure system, as well as an in-depth spying system. You can play alone against the AI or in multiplayer for up to four players, including hotseat multiplayer.

The Old Gods

The Old Gods stir during this era and seek to destroy the world they can no longer rule. You send disciples to their places of power and defeat them.

Included music

The game includes the complete ambient music album, Cults and Daggers.
