Description
In 'Warsim: The Realm of Aslona', your only goal is to keep the kingdom running, whether you thrive and become a mighty empire or fall to ruin. How you rule is entirely up to you, you may become a harsh dictator charging people a tax for breathing air, or a blood-hungry warlord commanding armies and mercenary bands on invasions of enemy land, or perhaps a charismatic diplomat with vast trade networks and alliances.

Warsim's core focus is allowing the player to do whatever they want, with the relevant consequences of course (and perhaps we've gone too far in that aspect). Do you want to destroy the bank because you owe them a 1 gold loan, sure, want to imprison every musician who visits your court to disuade bards from visiting you, done, want to gamble and waste away all of your gold betting on scorpion fighting and dice games, yes, yes and yes! (If you want to learn more read below)

Some of Warsim's main or more interesting features include...



Explore the rich and vast world filled with over 100 locations to be visited/bought/plundered, you can shape the world how you see fit. Visit a giant Blackmarket filled to the brim with mystery and wonder, discover hidden cities (yep multiple of them!), A scorpion fighting pit, Strange villages, and cult like towns. There has been an excessive amount of time spent fleshing out the world. Exploration is well rewarded!





In the throne room you are tasked with talking to and dealing with the people of your realm, be you a small kingdom with a line of 10 visitors, or a mighty empire with lines of 1000s of people. You will encounter gamblers, bards, tricksters, mercenaries, common folk, beggars, and everything in between. Over 1000 different encounters with complex solutions and reactions. How will you manage your realm? Will you install trap doors and send those foolish enough to visit you plummeting to their deaths? or will you hire a capable steward to deal with them in your stead! The choice is yours.





Warsim's unique and in-depth procedural race generation system has been developed for years and currently produces a total of 94,887,852 possible races, which pretty much means you'll never see the same race twice, in fact statistically the races you see will never have been seen by anyone before! you might find Seafaring Goblins, Fire Orcs, Eyeless Elves or the Famed Half-Turtles of the Western Turtledom, Orange Ogretaurs, Inbred Trench Dwarves, and millions more races you couldn't imagine!

Each of these races has their own birth rate, a level of civility (or savageness), three unique units each with different battle scores, their own laws and societal standards (like xenophobia), and varying traits depending on their racial prefixes pulling from a large list of unique racial abilities sure to make each playthrough unique!





It's not just the races that are massively procedural in Warsim, it's also the faces! The total number of faces is somewhere in the range of 100+ Quadrillion, which lets face it (I'll show myself out), it's basically infinite. This means that all of those enemy rulers, all of those staff members, and everyone who appears in your throne room are all faces seen only in that moment by you, and never again by anyone else in the world! Pretty cool huh?

Here are 10 of the 62,418,146,400,000 (62.4 Trillion) different orcish faces!



And another bunch of faces from various in game races!





The Arena is another important location within your kingdom, here heroes rise and fall while others are remembered for eternity, clever gamblers make their fortune, great and exalted tournaments are held, and the public sate their appetite for blood! You can find the Arena in a variety of shapes and can even take it for yourself, setting the cost of entry, changing the rules, and upgrading it as you wish!





Games within games? You bet! Ruling a kingdom can be boring at times and you may wish entertainment to pass the time, hire a gamesmaster to fill your time when you're bored or play one of the many games littered throughout the taverns and locations of the world, games that include: Snail Racing, Bat Racing, Rat Racing, Rock paper scissors, 21 the dice game, Dragon wench knight, Sudden death (4 different types), Coin flipping, Guess the dice, Swampy cup game, Thralls finger, Animal pit fighting, Scorpion pit fighting, and loads more!





Are you a lover of the procedural arts? Why not listen to the procedurally generated songs of one of the many bards of the Warsim world, or make your way to the musicians guild or the Goblinwood school of drums and try your hand at playing music yourself. The world is filled with all manner of procedurally terrible musicians, from Orc grunters, Gnome whistlers, Goblin drummers, Clickers, Vampire luteplayers, and several others! Hire one as your own personal court bard and train them to play better and faster!





Ruling a kingdom isn't all warfare and conquest, kick back, relax, and gather your people together for a celebration of your design! Or travel around and visit the exclusive celebrations of the peoples of the world, Including: The Blackmarket Century Festival, a huge festival held in the gem of the north, or if you treat them right the great GOBLINWOOD JAMBOREE! A once a-decade experience in the goblin town of Goblinwood.

Here's a goblin drinking competition! (it's pretty easy because goblins can't drink!)





Is being an honest and good natured ruler not for you? Would you prefer sending your loyal warriors to depths unseen to enslave beasts of the underworld for you to train and fight? If the answer is yes then you're in luck, build a monster pit in your kingdom and hold up to 3 of over 27'000 Procedurally generated monsters inside! Fight them and train them against any of 45 opponent trainers! Do you have what it takes?





A tough day on the throne? why not get drunk in one of the many different taverns around the world. Here you can find a myriad of different drinks with varying effects and tons of things to get up to in each tavern. Be warned though, drink too much and you may blackout and wake next to a sleeping ogress, or to a lighter coinpurse... And we won't even talk about the hangovers!

Community

Warsim has an awesome community spread across a number of platforms. Primarily our community on reddit but also our discord​​.

Here are many reasons why I love the Warsim Community

​I cannot describe how awesome and supportive the community has been towards me in my years developing this game and I can only hope to deliver a worthy finished product.

Thanks for reading all of this and if you do get Warsim I hope you enjoy it!

Step aside Crusader Kings

This is one of the examples of indie gaming done right. What an odd little gem. Clearly, if you are into graphics, move one, even though it is wildly creative with its colorful text based graphics. If you are interested in a verrryy quircky, laugh out loud little kingdom sim, this is well worth your money. It is very low brow, a bit of Montey Python sprinkled in throughout, and for a text based game the writing can be a bit bare bones at times, but is still effective. It has a bit of crusader kings, as you are running your little kingdom, interact with visitors and surrounding kingdoms and indepentant bandit groups and such, expanding your empire, enjoying all the riches that come with it. But there is definitely a large dose of chaos thrown in as well. You can go to your arena and watch\wager on bets, or you can get a force together and just invade the arena and burn it all down. Suddent catastrophic endings are around many a corner. The adventuring is nice, as your run into all sorts of situations, illustrated with colorful little text drawings, and can basically act in any way you see fit at any given moment, laughing as it all burns down if you choose. If you like toung in cheek humor, quirky indie developers, text game nostalgia, and\or rather clever little kingdom games, absolutely check this thing out. The developer is very active and communicative, the game is very moderately priced, and it is the type of thing you can have a blast with just putting an hour or two into, yet clearly deep enough to suck you in for a longer haul. Enjoy.

A unique kingdom management game

I've been following Huw (the single dev behind Warsim) and his game for many years now. I initially purchased an early alpha which already had tons of content. Then over the years update over update refined the experience, added more meaningful content, streamlined the overall gameplay. I'm utterly in awe of how dedicated Huw is to his game which definitively is a work of pure love. Warsim is a kingdom simulator where you can influence literally everything in your realm. Wage war, use diplomacy, send expeditions in unknown regions, recruit armies, build infrastructure... but there are also tons of tiny, funny things - you can listen to the pleads of your subjects or to more or less terrible bards (if you don't like their "art" you can throw them into your dungeon). You can fight slavers - or take over their business. Watch arena fights. And there is just so much more to do. You can play a good or an evil ruler, a altruistic benevolent ruler or a completely tyrannical selfish misanthrope (but you'll have to face the consequences). There are many random elements in the game. Every new game creates a new situation, the other peoples and realms of the world are randomly created out of (literally!) millions of possibilities... so no two games will be the same. Overall I find Warsim: The Realm of Arslona a very unique experience. It's so choked full of content you'll have hours over hours of fun building your empire and do all kinds of stuff. And it's a game where you can feel the dedication of his creator in every single part. Huw is an exceptional developer and his work really deserves to be supported. I already own the game on Steam and itch but will purchase it here on GOG again just to support the guy and his masterpiece.

Great king simulator

You get to decide what a king (or lord) would do if in charge of a fictional kingdom in the midst of hostile and non-hostile peoples and organisations. If you can look past the fact that the graphics are all ASCII based and you make decisions by entering numbers corresponding to menu options then you are in for a fun ride. The author's love and personality shine through the game so buy him a coffee by buying his game :)

What a grat Title!

Came out of nowhere here for me on Gog. So, i am Imperator of a Nation, i became it by winning a Tournament. I, the Megalord, am listening to the Needs of my People in the Throne Room, hiring Soldiers and Knights to defend my Lands, building new Building in my Capital and discovering new Places in my free Time. I can not understand how such Rebels came to be, they want a Leader choosen by Vote. How insane is this? But i crushed them with my Army and the Help of Mercenaries, ah and don't forget the Goblins i paid. When i am bored, i let my Steward handle the Plebs. But beware, sometimes the Plebs have some good Information, i killed a Demony Spy because of them. And seeing Kids smile because of the Coins i give them and Criminals cry because i send them to Jail (or let them Kill) is such a Joy. I conquered the black Market, destroyed a Slave Fortress and got drunk at a Party. I watched Battles in Pits, saw a giant Ship and bet on a Snail Race. Now i am heading South to discover the Truth about the Demons.

A unique, amazing experience

An excellent, addictive and immersive adventure as the ruler of a kingdom! Reminds me of so many good things I don't know where to start; It's amazing this game was done by a single developer. There are tons of things to do and plenty of options to customize, so every game is guaranteed to be different. Virtually every alignment & playstyle you can imagine is in. The text is fun, well-written and easy to understand. There is quite a bit of information to digest, but you'll quickly get the hang of it. Playing the game isn't hard, but it can get as challenging as you wish. Navigating the menus is as easy as typing numbers, you can set the font as big as your eyes need and there is even optional music for enhanced atmosphere (I love the 'menu' and 'calm' themes) Easily one of the best kingdom sims I've played - Wish we had more games like this around Gog!
