About Routes and Forges
Build by day. Defend by night.
Welcome to a medieval fantasy world where your strategic skills determine whether your settlement thrives or burns. In this unique blend of RTS, Tycoon, and Tower Defense, you are the architect, mayor, and commander of a growing village. Your goals are simple: build a prosperous community, optimize production chains, and survive the horrors that emerge from the dark.
Build and Expand Your Settlement
Transform a humble outpost into a bustling medieval hub. Lay down roads, plan your zoning, and construct residential areas to attract new villagers. Each new citizen brings a pair of hands to work — and another mouth to feed. Balance your growth carefully to prevent your people from starving before the next siege.
Master Logistics and Production
Manage a deep, tycoon-style economy. Assign your villagers professions and build workplaces for them: farms, lumber mills, mines, and advanced workshops. Establish efficient production chains to refine raw materials into high-tier goods, weapons, and armor. Watch your peasants harvest resources and manage automated logistics during the safety of the day.
Survive the Night Terror
When the sun sets, the cozy village sim transforms into a tense survival battle. Vicious fantasy monsters emerge from the shadows to destroy your life's work. Strategically place defensive towers and barracks, fortify your walls, and position your forces to choke enemy advance points. Every morning brings relief; every night brings a new test of your strategy.
