Independent dependent studio Afterlife and the publishing team Games Operators have announced the launch their crowdfunding campaign for medieval strategy game King's Orders. By supporting King's Orders on Kickstarter (@Kickstarter), you can secure access to the expanded preview version.

King's Orders is a medieval strategy game that is a bit different from other representatives of this genre. Gameplay focuses on specific aspects of managing the kingdom and armies, which are not that common in other games inspired by this historical period. A wise king knows that issuing orders is no simple matter, especially when armies and territories are hundreds, or even thousands of kilometers away from the castle. Spoiler alert! No, there were no smartphones and the internet back then, but there were horses and brave envoys.

Imagine a scenario where all modern means of communication disappear, and instead of emails and DMs, all you have at your disposal are couriers, your court members, and a stable full of horses. In such circumstances, trying to organize a board game night with friends would be like herding cats, while organizing a group camping trip would probably be impossible. However, our resourceful ancestors were able to organize defenses against hostile invaders, manage the economy, and maneuver armies, even over long distances. In King's Orders, players will often make decisions based on outdated reports and information, so the ability to predict is extremely valuable.

Thanks to King's Orders, players will not only have the opportunity to build an empire spanning from the frosty lands of Scandinavia to the coast of Africa, but they will also take part in major historical events, such as the Hundred Years' War, the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War, the Reconquista. Based on their decisions, they will either witness these events or completely change the course of history.
