Bread for the miners, beer for the soldiers.</li> <li>🏰 Your buildings grow tier by tier, and your straw hut grows into a castle.</li> </ul> </section> <section> <h2>🔨 Already standing</h2> <p>Countless buildings and goods, from the felled log to the minted coin. Swordsmen, lancers and archers train on a meal and a beer, the siege works builds catapults, and ships wait in the harbour.</p> </section> <section> <h2>🗺️ Coming next</h2> <ul> <li>⛵ Voyages and raids: your ships carry your troops to other islands. Only goods are ever lost, never a building.</li> <li>⚖️ Trade: buy and sell goods with other players.</li> <li>🤝 With friends: band together, help each other out and fight side by side.</li> </ul> <p>We will tell you about every step here in the news.
