How to play?

Place buildings in your kingdom. You have 25 building slots to fill. Every turn you gain a gold depending on how many Palaces and Villages you have. Every turn you may wait or open a shop with buildings. When minimum one player fills the entire kingdom with buildings, attack phase begins.

The battle between kingdoms is automatic. Army power is decreasing the opponent's defence. Morale is a small bonus for both army power and defence.
