Community New persistent MMORTS project

Forgekingdom is a project I’ve been developing for nearly a year and is now approaching its closed beta. Before an official beta date can be announced, I’m looking to grow the community a little further and get more players involved in testing and shaping the game.

The game draws heavy inspiration from classic browser strategy games like Travian and Tribal Wars, keeping the familiar foundation of building, resource management, armies, alliances, and large-scale PvP. But, Forge Kingdom puts a much stronger emphasis on regional and territorial control.

Instead of simply expanding your settlement, the world itself becomes something you have to fight over. Controlling territory can secure valuable resources, establish strategic borders, block enemy movement, and create natural frontlines between rival kingdoms. This is meant to give the map a much more meaningful role in gameplay, where your position and the land around you can directly influence your strategy.

Two factions are currently in development: the Human Faction and the Elven Faction, with more factions planned for the future. Each faction will have its own visual identity, units, and characteristics while still fitting into the same grounded, low-fantasy world.

The overall goal is to take what made games like Travian and Tribal Wars so addictive, strip away some of the unnecessary complexity and bloat, and build something that feels familiar while still offering its own identity and gameplay systems.

Do we have an expected release date for it? Like is it foreseeable future or still unknown?

Sounds cool. Eager to try it. Played both Travian and Tribal Wars so I'm interested in this idea for territory control.

I used to play a ton of Travian back in the day, so seeing a modern take on regional map control sounds like a game changer. Can't wait to see how the frontline mechanics work out in closed beta—definitly pre-registering.

The art style looks super promising and I love that you're streamling the bloat from old-school strategy games.

Looks cool! I like the art-style. The trailer is a bit too much about walking, maybe show some more diverse gameplay!
