Elder Kingdom home

The Medieval Strategy City Builder you remember from your childhood, re-imagined.

Build a kingdom from a single timber Keep, train footmen, riders, bowmen and catapults, and hold land with your alliance on a shared 600 by 600 world map. Free on Android. The iPhone version is on the way.

From timber hall to stone castle

Wood, Stone, Iron and Grain pay for every upgrade. Two builds run at once, three with VIP, and each finishes on a real clock, so your city keeps working while you are away.

The buildings
A painted walled town: timbered houses, a stone keep and fields of crops outside the wall.
The city screen: a painted town with the keep and barracks labelled, the resource bar along the top and Mira the steward suggesting the next build.

Turn-based battles you can steer

Four troop types fight in rounds 30 seconds apart, for up to 20 rounds. Watch it live and change your orders between rounds, or leave it to play out.

How battles work
A live battle in round 17 of 20: enemy troops above, your footmen, riders, bowmen and catapults below, and the front line on the field between.
  • A red shield with a golden tree and a sword.

    Footmen

  • A saddled chestnut warhorse.

    Riders

  • A crossed bow and arrow.

    Bowmen

  • A wooden catapult on wheels.

    Catapults

Alliances of up to 50 lords

Share a chat and an army, and take mines together. Then hold them against the rival alliances that come for them.

Alliances

One map, 600 by 600 fields

Every lord in your world shares it. Hunt oases for Gold, hold forts that pay by the hour, raid barbarian villages or march on another lord. Scouting is free and instant.
