Periculum

Periculum is a strategy game about conquering hexagonal tiles and building an empire. You gather Gold, Wood, Stone and Fish, construct buildings and raise walls to strengthen your territory. Play turn-based, with players taking turns while others wait, or in real time, with everyone acting at once. You can play on one screen with a mouse and keyboard or use motion controllers in virtual reality.

Multiplayer

Periculum supports up to 8 players, including you and up to 7 other online or local players, or bots. Choose one of 8 colors and form teams with friends or bots. You can also play together on custom maps.

Game modes

The game offers more than 7 modes:

• Default: The last player to own a hexagonal tile wins.
• Capture the Flag: Capture enemy flags while keeping your own; losing your flag means losing the game.
• King of the Hill: Hold the central hexagonal tile for the longest time to win.
• Economy: Be the first to collect a chosen amount of Gold, Wood, Stone or Fish.
• Conquer: Win by conquering a set number of hexagonal tiles first.
• Regicide: Each player starts with a king they can move around. If you lose your king, you lose the game; the last player with a king wins.
• Battle Royale: Play with or without loot scattered across the map for players to collect. The map shrinks over time until one hexagonal tile remains, and its owner wins.

Customize and create maps

Adjust options such as resource lifespan, troop limits and map visibility, including whether the whole map is visible or must be discovered. The in-game level editor lets you create custom maps and share them with friends. The game also offers a range of settings for tailoring a match.

Buildings and troops

Buildings support your empire and army. A University unlocks army upgrades such as increased damage or armor; a Marketplace lets you trade resources with other players; and each House accommodates 5 residents, allowing you to train 5 additional troops. Wooden walls defend a hexagonal tile, while Stone walls are twice as strong.

You can field four soldier types:

• Infantry: standard troops.
• Cavalry: costs twice as much as Infantry and has double its damage and health. Cavalry can move across 2 hexagonal tiles.
• Archer: attacks from 1 tile away, deals standard damage and has double health. It moves 1 tile per turn and can be upgraded to Cavalry Archer through the University.
• Cannon: deals high damage to buildings and troops, can hit targets 2 tiles away and moves 1 hexagonal tile per turn.
