Lordz.io

Your army can only be as big as your town. Every soldier, knight and dragon takes room, and the only way to make more room is to build houses. Lordz.io is a free real-time strategy game you play in your browser. You collect gold, build houses and castles with single keys, recruit an army that follows your lord, and attack rival kingdoms on a shared map.

Key Controls

• Move your lord and army: MOUSE
• Place a building: press its key, then LEFT MOUSE BUTTON

• Gold mine, house, castle, mage tower: C, E, R, F

How It Works

Lordz.io drops your lord onto a green map with 500 gold and room for an army of 10. Gold coins lie on the ground, and your balance also ticks up on its own. A hotbar along the bottom shows every building and unit with its key and price, and a Lordzboard at the top right ranks the lords on the map.

Units cost gold and army space. A soldier costs 15 gold and 1 space, while a dragon costs 2,500 gold and 15. A house costs 250 gold and adds 25 space, so building comes first if you want a bigger army. Your troops follow your lord as you move the mouse, and Space splits them to hit an enemy from 2 sides. The How to Play note sets the long goal: destroy the fortress in the middle of the map to get new cards.

1. Press PLAY on the main menu to join a map.
2. Move the mouse over gold coins to collect them.
3. Press E and click to place a house for more army space.
4. Press T to recruit soldiers for 15 gold each.
5. Press C and click to place a gold mine.
6. Press Space to split your army around an enemy.
7. Lead your army to the fortress in the middle of the map.

What Makes It Stand Out

• 13 hotbar slots: 4 buildings and 9 recruits each have their own key.
• Army space as a limit: You start with room for 10, and each house adds 25.
• A wide price range: Soldiers cost 15 gold, while the troll costs 3,000.
• A Lordzboard: A live ranking at the top right shows who rules the map.
• A Sandbox Mode: The main menu offers it next to PLAY, along with Heroes and Skins.

Getting Started

• Build a house first in Lordz.io. The starting room for 10 fills fast, and one house raises it to 35.
• Pick up every coin near your lord. Coins on the ground add straight to your balance on top of the steady income.
• Start with soldiers, not dragons. A soldier needs 15 gold and 1 space, so a few of them protect you while you save.
• Check the price before pressing a key. Each hotbar slot shows its gold cost, and hovering shows how much army space it uses.

Going Further

Lordz.io is a balance between gold and army space. Big units are expensive in both: a dragon takes 15 space and the troll 12, so a house has to go up before either one fits. Gold mines cost 250 and feed the economy that pays for those units. The Space key is the trick for surrounding a target, because a split army can hit from 2 sides at once.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Recruiting before building. With room for only 10, you hit the cap long before you run out of gold.
• Saving for a dragon too early. It costs 2,500 gold and 15 space, which a new lord can't fit.
• Walking past coins. Ground coins are extra gold on the way to your next build.
• Keeping your army in one block. The Space key splits it, and a split army can surround an enemy.
