About Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown

Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown is a medieval fantasy city-builder with real-time combat and consequential decisions. As a new ruler, you lead the survivors of Aldamor to Nysamor to find a home and build a kingdom. Play alone or with up to four players, shaping your rule and the fate of your people through your choices.

Rule in Nysamor

Nysamor is a land of lush fields and diverse terrain, with resources and potential conflict. Assign your subjects to gather resources, construct buildings, explore the wilds and build your kingdom’s reputation through trade or force. As your settlement and influence grow, decisions can permanently change your people, settlement and the world around you.

A narrative event system reveals the nature of the Waelgrim, the land’s magical forces, while your choices lead you toward Benevolence or Tyranny. A Benevolent ruler shows compassion for the earth and its kin; a Tyrannical ruler embraces exploitation and torture. Both paths have advantages and challenges, and your decisions have lasting consequences for your reign.

Build your kingdom

Place city structures, lay out roads, build defenses and assemble a military. Gather resources, harvest production areas and expand your lands, using planning, advancement and a detailed tech tree to develop your kingdom. Trade with other players or AI factions, or take the fight to them. Soldiers need food, water and other supplies to fight, and war can take a heavy toll.

Explore and fight

Compete for resources across a 4X-inspired World Map containing numerous AI villages and kingdoms. Neighboring villages respond according to their allegiances: they may remain loyal to the reign of Wyrmaxa or be swayed toward your path through intimidation or compassion.

In real-time combat, you can siege castles, plunder trade routes and confront Waelgrim creatures, alongside or against other players or AI. Your choices include conquering enemies or uniting against common foes, and embracing the Waelgrim’s magic or trying to control it.
