Braveward

No, and that's the whole joke. You're the king, so you rule from the throne. You give heroes reasons to act, like bounties, and they decide for themselves whether the gold is worth the danger.

You build guilds next to your castle and hire warriors, rangers, rogues, healers and mages. Each guild brings in a different kind of hero, so your kingdom's defenders are only as good as the guilds you build.

Tap a monster or a den and post a bounty on it. That's your way of bribing the brave, and the greedy, into taking the job. Heroes weigh the gold against the danger before they go.

Night brings horde attacks on your kingdom. Your job is to hold out until dawn. That means having guilds built and heroes tempted by bounties before the monsters arrive.

It's a voxel kingdom strategy game with building, resource management and horde defense. You manage a kingdom and its gold rather than fighting yourself, and your heroes have minds of their own.

It's free and plays right in your browser on desktop. There's nothing to download, so you can open the page and start building your first guild straight away.

Braveward was developed by Spacedino Games. It's a voxel-style kingdom strategy built around bribing heroes who refuse to simply follow orders.
