Great concept, but the execution needs polish. On Android you can't set an avatar (good thing it syncs with Stride), and the overall design feels weaker compared to your fantastic Kingdom GO style. It would be great to have more idle mechanics - 24-hour processes, auto-collection, and fewer repetitive buildings. Also, achievements for capturing new cities and countries would make the gameplay much more rewarding.

I deleted the game. It uses a GPS ofcourse, if another oponent enters the same castle you are in, you can see their empire AND the exact location of your opnonent. It's a fun game, but there are only 18 levels. I managed to achieve within a week. It's a cute game. Hoping for more levels. Also, hoping for castles and villages in logical places. Some are in the middle of a freeway

Thought it would make for motivating runs, which it did at first. Can't make progress in eras, Devs don't respond, I think everybody around me has just given up. ***After the update*** Game overall is responding and the achievement update seems great. As a game it isn't bad or good. It is clearly about castles as the actual size of your empire and the hexes mean nothing except for the current run. As a running app, the runs aren't recorded so that basically makes it useless (my running log is virtually empty despite my running 7x a week.) There is a little competition in my college town which actually makes the game more fun and motivating.
