Noble Fates

Noble Fates is a fantasy kingdom simulation in which you build a realm and lead its people through a changing world. Their ambitions, opinions and memories shape the stories that emerge as kingdoms pursue their beliefs, defend their honor and respond to how you treat them. You begin with a handful of Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Halflings or Humans and guide your kingdom as the world develops through the ages.

Lead your kingdom

Your Nobles build, farm, hunt, craft and fight on your command, but they have their own opinions and memories. Their loyalty depends on how you treat them: reward them with treasure, a home and food, or reconcile their beliefs with those of the crown. If they are dissatisfied, they may desert to form a rival kingdom or betray you in battle, and they will explain why.

Choose the beliefs your kingdom follows, including whether it is good or evil, practices cannibalism, or welcomes only high Elves or a mixture of peoples. Recruit people who share those beliefs, or try to persuade others to leave their past behind. Neighboring peoples and kingdoms form relationships with you based on how closely your beliefs align and how you have treated them. Use diplomacy, force or a feast to deal with foreign rulers and rivals.

Build and provide

Build a castle brick by brick or carve a fortress into a mountain, using building tools and a deep unlock tree. Give Nobles their own homes and let them divide work, food and loot among themselves, or manage those details yourself.

Keep your larder and treasury stocked by farming, raising animals, foraging, hunting and trading. When Envoys and Wanderers seek refuge, you decide whether to host them, rent them rooms and sell them loot, or take what they carry and send them to your dungeon.

Succession and conflict

Your kingdom endures as long as someone remains to wear the crown. Raise heirs and train them to rule, then choose whether the crown passes to your firstborn or someone outside your family. A ruler's death can end a long-running feud or revive a forgotten injustice. People may respond differently to a new ruler, bringing new conflicts.

Defend the realm

Bandits, flesh-hungry beasts and the armies of rival kingdoms threaten your walls. Equip your Nobles with gear blessed by the gods, worship the gods for a share of their power, and train a Mage whose strength can rival an army.

Demonic Carbuncles surface across the land as part of the Breach. Break them open to face waves of demons, take control of your Mage in third person and cast Magic Missiles against the attack. Survive the Breacher’s onslaught, defeat the Demon Dragon before it destroys your castle, then seal the Breach, bury the dead and divide the loot.
