Erect 4 monuments while taking care of your peasants and fending off any fiends!

Every time a new building is built its price increases. The same is with soldiers and peasants. The more excess food you hold the more likely traitors are to attack you

Basically a more chaotic version of Stronghold with Downwell's aesthetic look.

But...

...how the hell do you even play this?

BASICS * Click your soldiers and the king to move them around * Placing your mouse over the castle shows you the amount of coins, excess food, peasants and the king's health * Click a building to access its upgrade/build menu (try it out on the castle first) * Orchards (trees) provide 3 units of food per day to your castle * Each house summons 2 peasants and provides a way of buying more * Mines can only be built on rocks * Miners can be employed in the mines * Soldiers can be recruited in the barracks * Walls stop enemies from walking through * Walls can be upgraded to monuments. Building 4 of them wins the game. * The cave on the bottom periodically spawns enemies

CASH & FOOD (i.e. the confusing part) * Each peasant and soldier needs 1 piece of food per day to sustain themselves * Each peasant pays 1 coin every day * Miners require 1 extra piece of food for a total of 2 per day to sustain themselves, but they pay out with 2 coins * Each soldier needs to be paid 1 coin per day * If there's not enough food to sustain your village the first ones to go hostile are the miners. Then the peasants will follow, and lastly the soldiers. * Excess food from the previous day gets deleted, meaning that waiting will not get you any extra apples. * The more excess food you have the more often traitors will spawn

TIPS * DON'T place 2 orchards at the beginning of your game. Just don't do it man. * Keep an eye out for prices of crucial items. You don't want to be caught with your pants down or overpay for your troops, now do you? * Quickly place all 4 walls. You may try to block the traitors' cave with them. When you succeed just remember that traitors can't see 2 feet ahead of themselves. * Look out for your food supply. Too much excess food will lure in the traitors while too little will make your peasants riot.
