Braveward

You're the king, but your heroes do whatever they want. Build guilds, put bounties on monsters and bribe the brave (and the greedy) into doing the job. Then hold out through a night of horde attacks until dawn. A voxel kingdom strategy with heroes who have minds of their own.

Rule from the throne, not the battlefield! You never command your heroes directly. You give them reasons to act, and they decide whether the gold is worth the danger.

How to win:
Build guilds next to your castle and hire warriors, rangers, rogues, healers and mages. Tap a monster or a den and post a bounty: attack it, scout the area or guard a spot. Heroes who like the reward will go for it. Build a Market and a Tavern so the gold your heroes spend comes back to you as taxes.

Each day has five phases, from dawn to night. Explore the ruins for loot, and when the messenger warns you about a siege, raise watchtowers on that side. At night every den wakes up and the Troll Warlord marches on your castle. Keep the castle standing until sunrise to win the day. Then a new, harder day begins. If the castle falls, the game is over.

Cast spells when things get tough: Heal, Royal Shield and Rally from the castle, plus Lightning and Gold Rain once you build a Mage Tower.
