Meet King Spellus, the definition of an old wise wizard, but don't underestimate him! He gets random spells and, if enough are summoned, resources and fire mages are granted to you! 📖 🪄

Remember: magic first, questions later!

For the #IndieDevHour, meet the boss Sir Mortifax: undead scientist, swordmaster, and enthusiastic note-taker 📝

He’s not here out of hatred. He simply finds your body… fascinating.
A duel with him is less a battle, more a regrettable research collaboration!

Here is King Saladin: His royal strategy? Summon, summon, and summon again, doesn’t matter what, as long as it can crush against the hordes of goblins!
The more units he commands, the higher his army limit grows!

A new merchant in the Graveyard Kingdom! 🪦

Mysterious, silent, and not quite trustworthy (but who is these days?), she’ll trade your Relics for undead units, strange buildings, and powerful upgrades.

Her motives? Unclear.
Her offers? Hard to resist.

Would you follow King Alucard into battle?

He raiseth the fallen, commands ghouls, and grows ever stronger the more bones he loses. A grim ruler… but deadly efficient ⚔️💀
