About the Game
WHAT IS KING’S ORDERS?
In King’s Orders, you play as a medieval ruler. Your goal is to manage armies and cities on a map of Europe. Give orders by sending letters to your generals and make decisions based on the reports you receive. Re-enact historical events and see how you can change the course of history. Create a dominating empire that shall last for centuries!MEDIEVAL EUROPE
From the frozen Scandinavia to the coast of Africa - claim new territories, expand your influence, and replay unique scenarios. Each one will challenge you with the most pivotal battles of the Middle Ages, with the outcome hinging on your actions. The Hundred Years' War, the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War, the Reconquista - each can be a setting for your plan to achieve total victory. Do you possess the strategic prowess to forge an ultimate plan that will fulfill your ambitions, regardless of the obstacles?KING’S STRATEGY
King’s Orders is designed for players seeking a more immersive experience than traditional real-time strategies. Communicate with your troops by dispatching messengers with your letters. Send orders and wait for results. Remember it takes time for your runner to deliver the message and the route is full of dangers. Realism is magnified by the lack of battle preview in real-time. Your understanding of events is solely derived from received reports, requiring you to envision the battle and make subsequent decisions based on the information at hand.DIVIDE AND RULE!
Conquer cities and seize control of valuable luxury goods. Gained gold gives you various opportunities, so spend it wisely. Will you train more troops or focus on fortifying? You decide what kind of ruler you are and how you’re about to manage the economy. Every decision has consequences, and unpopular choices may lead to rebellion against you. Ensure the loyalty and morale of your generals, as they play a crucial role in helping you control the populace.Screenshots

Build 17683650
Mar 13, 2025
Greetings, My King!
Long time no see! When the Major Update #1 was released, we also published a Survey in the game, which heavily focused on the game's future development. One of the questions was about the new features that you would like to see the most in the game. The most popular answers were Technology Tree and Battle Visualizations as drawings in the letters.
We are extremely happy to announce that the Technology Tree is officially released today as a free update to the core game. The Battle Visualizations on the other hand will launch in a month as a small, optional DLC. Have fun and let us know what you think about those new additions!
Studies - Research Tree
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40653090/bd465e56b4e2862e800554885ae8abc4ac2dfa14.jpg
A new University building has been added to the game. The University building unlocks the Research Tree (called Studies in the game). Each research takes time and requires a specific gold investment. Currently, there are 12 different researches, each with 3 upgrade levels:
- Regiment Formation - recruitment limit +10/20/30% units during one cycle,
- Prosperity - happiness growth +10/20/30%,
- Fortress Engineering - fortification defense +10/20/30%,
- Defensive Strategies - enemy siege happiness penalty -5/10/15%,
- Siege Innovations - happiness removed during your sieges +5/10/15%,
- Generalship - academy generals have stats increased by +1/2/3,
- Spycraft - academy spies have stats increased by +1/2/3,
- Effective Communication - messengers speed increased by +10/20/30%,
- Patriotism - manpower growth +5/10/15%,
- Command Expansion - generals limit +10/20/30%
- Construction Techniques - construction, repair and upgrade time of buildings -5/10/15%,
- Trade Routes - trade income +!0/20/30%.
Other Changes
- The maintenance cost of the army has been significantly increased.
- The diplomacy has been updated. Other countries should now be more open to agreeing to our requests, while they were too eager to reject all the offers previously.
- The battle algorithms have been updated. The units (other than archers) will now focus more on attacking the units located in the first enemy line.
- An issue that caused black screen at the start of the game has been fixed.
- An issue with neutral/friendly countries immediately taking over "our" rebel regions after the player has defeated an enemy country has been fixed.
- An issue with some countries bankrupting out of nowhere or displaying as rebel-controlled has been fixed.
- Issues with the tutorial not working as intended have been fixed.
Some additional commentary about the increased maintenance army cost. Once recruited, the army previously had almost no cost and we wanted to make it an important part of an ongoing economy.
Be careful, recruiting tens of thousands of units without proper economic backbone might result in bankruptcy.
Battle Visualizations
The Chronicles of Battle DLC is coming your way on April 4th, 2025. We hope that you will enjoy this addition to the game and decide to support further development of King's Orders. Add Chronicles of Battle to your wishlist on Steam to experience the battle visualizations at the launch date.

This time we have reduced the base game time speed by 50% and added a new drag-and-drop feature for all the players, who want to navigate the game in an easier, faster manner.

- Send the spy to any point on the map,
- Send the armies from one capital to another.
- Send the general to any point on the map or enemy structure, to move or attack the desired target,
Fixes:

What do you think about this newest update? How do you feel about the new Time Speed and the new Drag and Drop feature? We will be happy to read all about your experience in the comments. At the same time, considering that this will be the last update this year, we want to wish you a warm, wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!

Request from the Team
We did our best to get rid of as many issues reported throughout the Closed Beta as possible. We are proud of all the work that has been put into the game, but we are aware that players are using vastly different setups and it's very hard to make the game 100% bug-free. That's why want to ask you to report your feedback to us:
- via in-game Bug Reporter if you encounter any bugs,
- via Survey in the Main Menu if you want to share some longer feedback about the game with us.
This approach will allow us to solve all the issues much faster and prepare the necessary changes for the upcoming updates in a timely manner.
A few gameplay tips
We want to share a few gameplay tips with you if you find the game challenging:
- Play the Tutorial to get to know all the basic mechanics,
- When choosing a Nation, look at the "Nation difficulty". Some countries are much stronger at the beginning, while others provide a real challenge.
- When choosing a Nation, go to the "General Information" tab and check the Nation bonuses. Pick a Nation that resonates with you the most or focus on the bonuses that you find the strongest.
- Adjust the "Game difficulty" to your liking. This parameter will make the battles easier or harder, depending on your needs.
- Don't forget about the Economic buildings. Recruiting an army will be hard without sufficient resources.
- Upgrade the buildings! The higher the level of your military building, the cheaper the recruitment of the units.
- Don't forget about the Spies. While it's easy to overlook them, their potential is enormous.
- Assign Stewards and automate some actions in your Kingdom. Enable the "Act at Will" order for your Generals if you want them to defend your borders on their own.
- Remember - Information is the key. If your General doesn't react to your order, it's very likely that the message got intercepted.
And of course, what is most important - have fun! We hope that you will have as much fun with our game, as we had when developing it for the past few years. It was a great journey and we can't wait to see your reception. Let us know how you feel about the game in the comments. We are reading them all!
