Players will start from a small village, recruit workers of different types of work to assist in construction, gradually develop their own agriculture, mining, animal husbandry, etc., and collect corresponding resources to grow and develop.
Combat: divided into pillagers and knights (guardians). Pillagers: attack wantonly and plunder villages, and get rewards. Knights: protect the lord's territory, fight against invaders, and get rewards.
Rule: Lord/Lady, these two roles manage and control an area, regulate tax policies and resources in the area, and pay a certain salary to the knights
