About

Lead a 14th-century Anatolian tribe from a small camp to a great Sancak. Build your dynasty, manage characters with real personalities, survive seasons and raids — a deep colony management game. Made solo over 2 years.

From a tiny camp to a great Sancak — build your dynasty

14th-century Anatolia. You stand at the head of a small Kayı tribe. A handful of tents, scarce resources, a harsh winter at the door. You are the Bey — feed your people, marry them off, raise warriors against wolf raids, and lead them on a journey from a humble Oba (camp) to a great Sancak (province).

Every villager has a story

12 character traits — Diligent, Lazy, Cowardly, Faithful, Generous, Stingy, Perfectionist, Charismatic, Antisocial, Hasty, Arrogant, Humble. Each one affects work speed, combat behavior, and marriage chances with concrete percentages.
Dynasties and family trees — Kayı, Kınık, Bayat, Yıva, Salur, Avşar... Every villager's family, children, and heirs are tracked. When the Bey dies, succession rules kick in.
Life cycle — Baby → Child → Adult → Elder → Death. Every age means different productivity, a different story.
Inner-voice system — Focus on a villager and a thought bubble appears above their head. A hungry villager says "My belly aches — last bite I had was yesterday"; a sick miner says "This sickness came from the mine — stone dust in my lungs."

A living Anatolia

4 seasons, 3 year types — Bountiful, Normal, Drought. Determined at year start — preparation is essential.
Dynamic weather — Rain, snow, storms. Villagers shelter during storms; those without warm clothes freeze in winter.
Disease and healing — Plague, dysentery, malaria. Healers treat with Anatolian herbs — hygiene is critical.
Wolf raids, Byzantine forces, Mongol raiders — Three enemy types, each demanding different tactics.
