How It Plays
Short Loop, Long Horizon
Spy for clarity. Raid exposed gold when intel is fresh. Bank what you cannot afford to lose. Build, then muster. The world persists across cycles. No hard resets.
Core Loop
Signal, Strike, Secure
Each day, your keep receives turns. Spies open windows of intel. Raids convert windows into gold.
Exposure is the risk: the more gold you hold in hand or transit, the more you can lose.
Banking moves gold into the vault on a timer. Training and upgrades also resolve on timers.
V1 Guarantees
No Resets
- Endless world; keeps persist.
- Attrition is enabled.
- Ward mode is loot (mitigates, does not block).
- Same-faction raids are allowed.
- Dice type only changes via explicit config.
Implementation
Spec-Driven Build
The sim harness is the executable spec. Production should implement Launch Pack v4 parity and emit telemetry that matches the v4 contract.
