About the Game

In the heart of the rainforest, a stunning view opens up to a white limestone city - your city in Tentlan. Travel back to mysterious cultures, become a mighty emperor, and experience the Mayan civilization in your own skin!

Tentlan is a strategy real-time online game played in the times of the pre-Columbian Americas. Starting off with a small settlement in the heart of the rainforest, the players continuously increase their power and influence till they end up developing great empires.

• Individual, cooperative, or competitive gameplay

Build great cities on your own, in a cooperation with other players or tribes, or fight for supremacy against other emperors.

• Multiple researches, mysterious rituals, and powerful units

Extend the knowledge of your civilization through researches, invoke divine influence performing rituals, and prepare great armies for war recruiting different units.

• Control the seasons

Some rituals will allow you to invoke the season effects. Switch from one season to another to take advantage of their effects in decisive moments.

• PvP and PvE

Recruit great troops and affront other players, or train yourself while attacking barbarian villages.

• For strategists

In Tentlan, the winners are not those who have more ressources or units, but those who know how to play their aces. Develop different strategies and methods of play to irritate your adversaries and attack them unexpectedly.

• Free, no subscription, no catch

Tentlan is free and will always be. The players can acquire some little extras which help maintain the game, but these extras will never be mandatory. We, developers, commit ourselves to making quality games and honest, direct, and sincere communication.
