Crown & Crafts

About Crown & Crafts

Every sword has a story. In Crown & Crafts nothing appears out of thin air: ore is dug at the mine, carried to the smelter, forged by the smith and handed to a recruit. Grain becomes flour, flour becomes bread, and bread only feeds your people once a porter walks it to their door. You do not control each villager: you design the system they live in. Build a living medieval economy with over 30 buildings and 28 goods, plan roads, porters, carts and depots, then defend what you built from bandits and rival lords. A 12-mission campaign with optional goals and three stars of mastery, plus challenges and contracts. Earn Renown and Crown Seals to unlock edicts, blueprints and banners. Plays in English and Vietnamese.
