The title of the game translates into Rock – Paper – Weapons. People on the borderlands have never had it easy. Even in peace, there was no rest for them. When their cities were not attacked by belligerent armies, citizens suffered from power games between their lords. But times change. A new king has ascended to the throne with the aim of immediately releasing its people from both problems. The nobility will have the task of building strong castles and protecting the borderlands. Become a member of the nobility with the aim of building your castle faster than others. Start building immediately. Strengthen your economy or develop your army. Just select the right tools and materials for your buildings and army.
