Braveward and the Kingdom That Lasts Until Dawn
In Braveward, you rule a kingdom and don't directly command the heroes. You collect protection through gold and rewards, and each hero chooses a target based on their priorities. This is a strategy game with a voxel world and night waves of enemies.
How to place bounties on dangerous monsters
At the start, create guilds and assign rewards to dangerous monsters. Then the heroes themselves go to where the battle is needed. This way you quickly gain protection by the first night.
How does the night go without direct control?
When it gets dark, enemies come in wave after wave until the sun rises. Heroes act according to their ambitions and priorities, so you don't give them direct orders. Your defense must hold the kingdom until dawn. This onslaught until the morning is familiar from Takeover.
Why watch out for gold and adventurers
You spend gold on those who are ready to follow you. Ambitious heroes care about their goals, so rewards and new guilds guide their choices. Because of this, the same card can assemble different defenses.
