About the Game

Lands of Rumour is a minimalistic turn-based 4X game about hiding. Embrace the atmosphere of Robin Hood, explore new lands, develop villages and change terrain, gather followers and defend your homeland in dynamic conditions.

EXPLORE NEW LANDS

Find your way through the clouds and look for the richest places. There are mountain ranges and plentiful valleys, but also enemies in the mist.

DEVELOP VILLAGES AND TERRAIN

Gather people to create new villages, but the choice of their development will be crucial. You can even change the tiles themselves, which will be useful both during manoeuvres and construction.

HIDE IN THE SHADOWS

Hide from your enemies so your small settlements can survive. Plan where and when your units will be seen to control the conflict.

CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES

Not all places can be defended, and sometimes, it is better just to let go. Move on, defeat enemies in key places and win!

Features:

  • highly tactical combat without RNG, with several distinct units

  • classical elements of a 4X: exploration, expansion, exploitation and extermination, served in a minimalistic manner

  • no "solved case" syndrome

  • innovative position of a low-power empire
