You are a monarch, and your goal is to expand your budding kingdom while protecting your loyal subjects and your crown from greed. During the day, you travel across the land on your mount to recruit troops, order the construction of new buildings, and gather your precious gold. At night, hordes of greedy creatures attack from both sides of your kingdom, trying to tear down your walls and steal your crown. The gameplay of Kingdom revolves around managing funds, which are essential for any action the player can take, such as recruiting new subjects, assigning tasks, building or upgrading any structures, and unlocking new mounts, NPCs, and lands to explore.
