Malmyr

Malmyr is a story-based building game about creating and maintaining production chains across 12 missions. The King sends you to the forgotten lands of Malmyr to expand the kingdom and exploit its ore deposits. As you carry out your missions, you uncover the sinister fate of the dwarves who once lived on the continent and work to keep the kingdom from meeting the same end.

Manage each mission

You direct resources where they are needed and make sure enough workers are available to complete each task. Production chains grow longer and require a wider range of resources, so you must adapt them to the current mission. You may need to sell buildings and rebuild them elsewhere; chains are not meant to be left untouched once established.

The game has no enemies to fight apart from each mission's challenges. Rather than building one huge, ever-expanding factory, you focus on the task at hand. Once a mission is complete, the King sends you to a new region with a different assignment. Missions bring their own obstacles and atmosphere, and vary in difficulty, from more relaxing tasks to more challenging ones.

Resources and buildings

You manage over 45 resources, including global resources such as coin and food, building materials such as wood and bricks, and goods for sale such as jewellery. More than 70 buildings include woodcutter's huts, mines, foundries and toolsmiths, which help you reach Malmyr's rarest ores.

Resource transport requires you to manage and optimize each section of road manually. Instead of simply connecting buildings with roads, setting transportation routes or building conveyor belts, you control how resources move through your network.

Runes and runewords

Twelve magical dwarven runes can terraform your territory, create resources through magic or be socketed into excavated ruins to provide permanent global bonuses. You can also combine three runes to make one of 18 runewords, each with different and powerful effects. Runecrafting lets you combine spare runes and convert them into other runes, while runecreation converts surplus coin into runes.
