Lead the King\u2019s Council for generations as the consequences of your decisions decide the kingdom\u2019s resources and political standing. Form alliances, solve dilemmas, and prepare for the final uprising that was foretold by an ancient prophecy!<\/h3>

The Game<\/strong><\/h3>

Welcome to the Kingdom of Ankist: a place of daring expeditions, gruesome battles, and arcane mysteries. You play as the Head of the Council, the leader of the King\u2019s inner circle. Listen to the advice of your Council of Houses, or overrule their decisions.<\/p>

Face hundreds of dilemmas where every choice you make may affect your relationship with the other Houses, influence the well-being and resources of the kingdom, and change the course of history itself. Discover the lands of Ankist over a story spanning across tens of generations. Form alliances, survive betrayals, and prepare for the final uprising foretold by an ancient prophecy.<\/p>

Will you act for the greater good, or will you think only of yourself?<\/p>

Gameplay<\/h3>

Explore the map of Ankist and see the Kindom\u2019s problems currently at hand. Choose one, and the Council will be summoned to make a decision: do we send help to people hit by famine? Should we wage war against that northern tribe raiding the villages across our border? The Houses will cast their vote: \u201cAye\u201d or \u201cNay\u201d based on their personal interest and political stance. At that point, you might decide to influence the vote, spending your House\u2019s finances to corrupt members of the council, or consuming some fo the limited \u201cpower\u201d points you are given for the rule of each King.<\/p>

Each decision you make has consequences both on your relations with the other Houses and on the Kingdom\u2019s resources, which in turn might result in the King abdicating or being overthrown. But they will also make more dilemmas become available on the map. Based on the resources standing at the end of the current King\u2019s rule and your moral alignment, you will be awarded \u201cgreed\u201d and \u201cinfluence\u201d points, which you\u2019ll be able to spend to research technology, start expeditions, or build structures. Which of these will become available depends on the choices you made.<\/p>

Each of the above will award you money and resources during the rule of each King, in addition to changing the events of the final uprising you will be preparing for.<\/p>
