About the game
A trade caravan sets out along a Temnorid road, and raiders, steppe riders and hungry wolves lie in wait. Place guards along the route, upgrade the ones that matter, and bring the wagons home.
The more goods arrive, the busier trade becomes in your city in Lords. A lost caravan means empty stalls.
Graphics are simple placeholder shapes for now. The game is built to be played first and polished later.
How to play
The first playable is one road, ten guard posts and three waves of attackers. You are a commander, not a fighter: you play from above and only buy and upgrade guards.
- You begin with 180 coins and a caravan of three wagons waiting at the start of the road.
- Click a free guard post beside the road and buy an archer for it (50 coins).
- Start a wave. The caravan moves on toward the next stopping point and attackers come for it from the sides; your archers shoot anyone in range.
- Every defeated attacker pays coins, and every cleared wave pays a bonus of 40. Spend them on new guards ahead of the caravan and on upgrades (40 coins: more damage, longer reach, faster shots).
- The caravan waits at each stopping point until the wave is dead. Clear all three waves and it reaches the market gate at the end of the road.
The caravan only moves while a wave is on, so guards left behind no longer help: each wave needs guards along the next stretch of road.
| Attackers | Wave 1 | Wave 2 | Wave 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raiders (slow, tough) | 8 | 8 | 10 |
| Wolves (fast, frail) | 6 | 6 | |
| Steppe riders (fast, strong) | 4 |
You win
Bring the caravan to the end of the road after the final wave.
You lose
The caravan is destroyed. Retry restarts the journey.
