Your kingdom and its resources stay untouched.

You can replay the tutorial from the Escape menu.

Practice resources and injuries do not carry over.

Death & succession

Battle death permanently ends your character. Choose one of your children to inherit your settlement, lands, ships and surviving warriors. Younger heirs grow to 18 before play continues. Without children, restarting is required. Practice fights never cause permanent death.

Army commands during raids

M opens section orders. Choose Left wing, Center, Right wing, Reserve, or All warriors, then click the tactical map to move. Hold position defends a spot; Attack defenders resumes the advance.

Fighting

Time your defense: raise B or right-click just before impact to parry, then counter within 0.9 seconds for 35% extra damage. Attacks and blocks cost stamina. Lower your guard to recover faster. Heavy overhead blows stagger an enemy’s guard; strike during recovery or attack from the side. Step or sprint out of committed attacks.

Shield
Hold B or right-click; face the attack. Blocking stops health damage. Ordinary hits chip the shield; breaking it requires at least three heavy critical hits.

Draw your weapon with 1 before fighting. You can attack while blocking for 60% damage. Repair broken shields at the blacksmith. Your health and shield durability appear at the bottom left. The scroll wheel always zooms. Hold B or right-click to raise your shield; release it to lower it. Escape opens the pause menu. Press E again or × to close a location panel.
