Crownmason
Released 28 October 2026 · PC · Indie, Strategy
Crownmason is a turn-based, castle-building autobattler: armies fight on their own, and only a dead king ends the match. Seven factions, a card draft, and matches against the AI, on LAN or online.
Story
Build the castle. Guard the king. Break theirs. Crownmason is a turn-based duel of two castle builders. Each of you raises a castle on your own patch of land - walls, towers, quarries, mills, barracks, a scriptorium and a hall for your king. Then you take turns: one attacks, the other defends, and the armies fight it out on their own while you watch. There is exactly one way to win: kill the enemy king . Burn his farms, flatten his walls, raze half the town - as long as the king lives, the match goes on. A round in three moves Build. Place buildings on a square grid. Neighbours matter: every building helps some neighbours and annoys others - a stonemason next to a quarry cuts more stone, the wrong house in the wrong place costs you. Planning the castle needs you to solve the puzzle. Deploy. Put your soldiers on the field, archers on the battlements, and pick your battle cards. The attacker lines up in the strip before the enemy walls. Watch the battle. It plays itself out. You made your choices - now see if they hold. Your king is a homebody The king waits in his hall inside your main building. Attackers have to break the door before they can get at him. Call the king...
