Strife Lords

Strife Lords is a turn-based multiplayer board game in which you command footmen, spearmen and a king. Capture resource tiles, manage your army and compete for control of the board’s three major sites. Online games support 2, 4, 6 or 8 players.

Units and resources

Farm and mine tiles generate gold, which you need to pay your units before taking offensive action. When moving, units consume food if you have it; battles use fresh steel. If you do not use these resources, they generate gold over time.

Footmen are the weakest unit, but groups of three can be effective in battle. Spearmen are more aggressive but weaker on defense, while kings are strong on both offense and defense. Any unit can die in battle: dice determine how many of your units are lost, and you must deal with the consequences.

Alliances and victory

You can form alliances, betray rivals and choose how to pursue dominance. You might attack aggressively or gradually wear down an opponent’s units; victory depends on controlling all three major sites, and the route you take—and what you sacrifice along the way—is up to you.

Presentation

The game features cel-shaded graphics, vibrant 3D models and two main music tracks.
