The Tactician's Guild

You write the orders. They follow them — to glory or to the grave.

A tactics-driven guild management game. Recruit heroes, write their battle orders — when an ally drops below half, heal the weakest — take contracts, and watch every fight unfold exactly as you planned. Rest the tired, heal the wounded, and lead your guild to the Warlord's Hall.

How it works

• Every tactic is one sentence: When → Do → On. Heroes read their tactics top to bottom and run the first one that applies.
• Fights run on their own at x0.5 to x4. The active tactic lights up, and when the fight ends, What happened tells you who did 1 damage 34 times against armor.
• No pause, no rewind. If someone falls, they fell. Fix the plan, not the dice.
• Same seed, same fight: share your seed and race a friend.

Run a guild

• 8 classes: warrior, healer, archer, barbarian, paladin, mage, rogue, bard. Every campaign rolls different recruits.
• Volunteers above or below their class average, personality traits that change numbers but never decisions, level-up cards.
• Fatigue that makes you rotate, wounds that become scars, and rooms with posts: the Infirmary, the Baths, the Training Yard, the Forge.
• Conditions and targets are pieces: buy copies, place them in tactics, move them between heroes. The guild tree opens new ways to read a fight, node by node.
• A board of contracts with stars and modifiers (Armored, Ambush, Elite, Swarm, Bounty). Three regions up to the Warlord's Hall, then endless play with a rank.
• Gamepad from day one, mouse and touch. Your campaign is saved in the browser.

About this version

• What is here: a 30–40 minute campaign plus endless play.
• What is not (yet): class specializations, more regions, parallel parties.
• What we want to know: did you have to change tactics or your party between missions, and did it feel good to watch them work? Tell us in the comments, with your seed.
