Gord

Gord is a strategy game about leading the Tribe of the Dawn through forbidden lands in a grim fantasy world inspired by Slavic folklore. You build a settlement, manage its people and venture into the surrounding wilderness as you work to keep the community alive.

Build and defend your gord

Raise palisades and develop structures, growing your gord from a humble settlement into a fortress. Expansion brings danger: enemy tribes, gruesome monsters and mysterious powers lurk in the woods around you.

Quests beyond the walls

Scenario objectives guide your journey, while side quests and random encounters send you into the wilderness. You may prevent calamities, resolve personal matters affecting your subjects, hunt legendary creatures, uncover secrets of the Ancients or confront a scourge.

Shape each Scenario

Choose from a range of Scenario options to set the challenge. You can adjust the primary objectives, level size, raid intensity, environment, enemy types, starting resources and weather severity, as well as the Horrors.

Keep your people well

Your settlers’ health and wellbeing are central to the community’s survival. Illness, hunger and the deaths of their kin can affect each subject’s Sanity. If it reaches a critical point, a subject may suffer a breakdown or flee your rule.

Prayers and spellcasting

Pray to the Gods for access to their spells. Incantations can be offensive or defensive, helping you conceal areas from enemies, control threatening beasts or unleash unholy rage against your opponents.

The Chronicle

The Chronicle tells the history of Gord’s world, which blends real-world Slavic mythology with dark fantasy. Its scattered pages provide an additional discovery challenge and reveal more about the origins of the Gods, ancient factions and the mystical Whisperers.
