How does a turn work?

You play the king. You start with one village on a small patch of land, and every turn you move, capture, build and grow. Step through the example to see one kingdom take shape.

Turn 1Your landIllustration built from the game's own tiles.

6What can you build?

17 kinds of building, several with advanced upgrades: Farm, Gold Mine, Iron Mine, Lumber Hut, Fishing Hut, Hunting Lookout, Port, Market, Armory, Castle, Bakery, Forge, Hunter's Cabin, Lumber Mill, Windmill, Jewelry, Fish Farm. Roads make your units move faster.

7How does combat work?

  • Every unit type is strong against one type and weak against another: infantry, ranged, cavalry, defensive, support, naval, siege and heroes.
  • Attacking from behind earns a backstab bonus.
  • A unit that scores three kills in a match levels up.
  • Land units become ships when they move onto water, and fight at sea.

8What does research do?

Around 40 technologies improve your town or your army. Each city you own makes research cost more, so a sprawling empire has to choose what to learn first.

What are the four factions?

Humans, Elves, Orcs and Undead each bring eight or nine units of their own and their own heroes. Every unit type beats one type and loses to another, so the army you field matters as much as its size.

What can you play?

If you like Civilization, Settlers of Catan, Humankind or Dorfromantik, Hexapolis is the same idea sized for a phone: a hex map, a turn at a time, and a kingdom that grows out of one village.
