== Features ==
== Features ==


* Randomly generated mercenary groups you can hire to fight your enemies
'''EXPLORATION'''
* Randomly generated independent kingdoms you can trade with, battle, explore and even vassalise
 
* Randomly generated goblin tribes you can attack or trade with
Explore the rich and vast world filled with over 100 locations to be visited/bought/plundered, you can shape the world how you see fit. Visit a giant Blackmarket filled to the brim with mystery and wonder, discover hidden cities (yep multiple of them!), A scorpion fighting pit, Strange villages, and cult like towns. There has been an excessive amount of time spent fleshing out the world. Exploration is well rewarded!
* Randomly generated Bandit groups who rob your lands and attack your people
 
* Tons of hidden areas to discover by exploring, such as demon gates and magical wells
'''THRONE ROOM'''
* A huge arena that you can arrange tournaments in and bet on fights
 
* A fight pit where you can bet on fist fights
In the throne room you are tasked with talking to and dealing with the people of your realm, be you a small kingdom with a line of 10 visitors, or a mighty empire with lines of 1000s of people. You will encounter gamblers, bards, tricksters, mercenaries, common folk, beggars, and everything in between. Over 1000 different encounters with complex solutions and reactions. How will you manage your realm? Will you install trap doors and send those foolish enough to visit you plummeting to their deaths? or will you hire a capable steward to deal with them in your stead! The choice is yours.
* Random events at every turn that will keep you on your feet
 
* Kingdom upgrades in everything from guildhalls to harvesting
'''RANDOM RACES'''
* Change the laws of your kingdom to suit you best
 
* Open a hall of knights dedicated to whatever you wish
Warsim's unique and in-depth procedural race generation system has been developed for years and currently produces a total of 94,887,852 possible races, which pretty much means you'll never see the same race twice, in fact statistically the races you see will never have been seen by anyone before! you might find Seafaring Goblins, Fire Orcs, Eyeless Elves or the Famed Half-Turtles of the Western Turtledom, Orange Ogretaurs, Inbred Trench Dwarves, and millions more races you couldn't imagine!
* Over 1 quadrillion randomly generated faces
 
* Millions of randomly generated races
Each of these races has their own birth rate, a level of civility (or savageness), three unique units each with different battle scores, their own laws and societial standards (like xenophobia), and varying traits depending on their racial prefixes pulling from a large list of unique racial abilities sure to make each playthrough unique!
* Tons of other randomly generated things like: flags, phrases, currencies, buildings, architectural styles, naming conventions
 
* And so much more...
'''RANDOM FACES'''
 
It's not just the races that are massively procedural in Warsim, it's also the faces! The total number of faces is somewhere in the range of 100+ Quadrillion, which lets ''face'' it (I'll show myself out), it's basically infinite. This means that all of those enemy rulers, all of those staff members, and everyone who appears in your throne room are all faces seen only in that moment by you, and never again by anyone else in the world! Pretty cool huh?
 
'''ARENA'''
 
The Arena is another important location within your kingdom, here heroes rise and fall while others are remembered for eternity, clever gamblers make their fortune, great and exhalted tournaments are held, and the public sate their appetite for blood! You can find the Arena in a variety of shapes and can even take it for yourself, setting the cost of entry, changing the rules, and upgrading it as you wish!
 
'''MINI GAMES'''
 
Games within games? You bet! Ruling a kingdom can be boring at times and you may wish entertainment to pass the time, hire a gamesmaster to fill your time when you're bored or play one of the many games littered thoughout the taverns and locations of the world, games that include: Snail Racing, Bat Racing, Rat Racing, Rock paper scissors, 21 the dice game, Dragon wench knight, Sudden death (4 different types), Coin flipping, Guess the dice, Swampy cup game, Thralls finger, Animal pit fighting, Scorpion pit fighting, and loads more!
 
'''BARDS'''
 
Are you a lover of the procedural arts? Why not listen to the procedurally generated songs of one of the many bards of the Warsim world, or make your way to the musicians guild or the Goblinwood school of drums and try your hand at playing music yourself. The world is filled with all manner of procedurally terrible musicians, from Orc grunters, Gnome whistlers, Goblin drummers, Clickers, Vamprire luteplayers, and several others! Hire one as your own personal court bard and train them to play better and faster!
 
'''CELEBRATIONS'''
 
Ruling a kingdom isn't all warfare and conquest, kick back, relax, and gather your people together for a celebration of your design! Or travel around and visit the exclusive celebrations of the peoples of the world, Including: The Blackmarket Century Festival, a huge festival held in the gem of the north, or if you treat them right the great GOBLINWOOD JAMBOREE! A once a-decade experience in the goblin town of Goblinwood.
 
'''MONSTER PIT'''
 
Is being an honest and good natured ruler not for you? Would you prefer sending your loyal warriors to depths unseen to enslave beasts of the underworld for you to train and fight? If the answer is yes then you're in luck, build a monster pit in your kingdom and hold up to 3 of over 27'000 Procedurally generated monsters inside! Fight them and train them against any of 45 opponent trainers! Do you have what it takes?
 
'''GET DRUNK'''
 
A tough day on the throne? why not get drunk in one of the many different taverns around the world. Here you can find a myriad of different drinks with varying effects and tons of things to get up to in each tavern. Be warned though, drink too much and you may blackout and wake next to a sleeping ogress, or to a lighter coinpurse... And we won't even talk about the hangovers!

== Development goals ==
https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMTAzNzU1LzE4ODEzNjEucG5n/original/rg4Kqa.png
There are many development goals for the game's future. Chief among them are a stronger trade and economy aspect to the game, randomly generated adventurer parties who will enrich the world and create long and interesting tales based on their adventures, crime and punishment with gangs, guards and guillotines, and randomly generated religions and gods with all kinds of perks, cults, and fanatics.


The biggest goal of all is that far down the development line when the development of the kingdom management game is finished, there will be a second game developed. This second game will be more of an RPG, where the player will exist in the world he would have ruled. The game will let the player live within the kingdom and explore the land, with the prospect of becoming strong enough to rule a kingdom of their own. They may work their way up the political ladder, or perhaps capture a territory from a weak group and expand it with a large number of follwers. Though this will be far in the future, it will hopefully add a much stronger dynamic to the game.
Here we have a character called Cedarcrown, who is the ruler of a randomly generated kingdom of swamp treemen

Features

EXPLORATION

Explore the rich and vast world filled with over 100 locations to be visited/bought/plundered, you can shape the world how you see fit. Visit a giant Blackmarket filled to the brim with mystery and wonder, discover hidden cities (yep multiple of them!), A scorpion fighting pit, Strange villages, and cult like towns. There has been an excessive amount of time spent fleshing out the world. Exploration is well rewarded!

THRONE ROOM

In the throne room you are tasked with talking to and dealing with the people of your realm, be you a small kingdom with a line of 10 visitors, or a mighty empire with lines of 1000s of people. You will encounter gamblers, bards, tricksters, mercenaries, common folk, beggars, and everything in between. Over 1000 different encounters with complex solutions and reactions. How will you manage your realm? Will you install trap doors and send those foolish enough to visit you plummeting to their deaths? or will you hire a capable steward to deal with them in your stead! The choice is yours.

RANDOM RACES

Warsim's unique and in-depth procedural race generation system has been developed for years and currently produces a total of 94,887,852 possible races, which pretty much means you'll never see the same race twice, in fact statistically the races you see will never have been seen by anyone before! you might find Seafaring Goblins, Fire Orcs, Eyeless Elves or the Famed Half-Turtles of the Western Turtledom, Orange Ogretaurs, Inbred Trench Dwarves, and millions more races you couldn't imagine!

RANDOM FACES

It's not just the races that are massively procedural in Warsim, it's also the faces! The total number of faces is somewhere in the range of 100+ Quadrillion, which lets face it (I'll show myself out), it's basically infinite. This means that all of those enemy rulers, all of those staff members, and everyone who appears in your throne room are all faces seen only in that moment by you, and never again by anyone else in the world! Pretty cool huh?

You can find the Arena in a variety of shapes and can even take it for yourself, setting the cost of entry, changing the rules, and upgrading it as you wish!

MINI GAMES

Games within games? You bet! Ruling a kingdom can be boring at times and you may wish entertainment to pass the time, hire a gamesmaster to fill your time when you're bored or play one of the many games littered thoughout the taverns and locations of the world, games that include: Snail Racing, Bat Racing, Rat Racing, Rock paper scissors, 21 the dice game, Dragon wench knight, Sudden death (4 different types), Coin flipping, Guess the dice, Swampy cup game, Thralls finger, Animal pit fighting, Scorpion pit fighting, and loads more!

A once a-decade experience in the goblin town of Goblinwood.
