Our take on File Under Kingdom
Its defining structure links spatial planning to narrative consequences: resource priorities are reflected in council transcripts and can redirect the king’s path toward different endings.
What is File Under Kingdom?
Serve as a kingdom’s Royal Planner by placing buildings and land to meet its needs.
Each structure produces a resource based on nearby natural and constructed features, so placement and building combinations determine how efficiently limited space is used. Funds can run low, requiring developed land to be sold before further purchases. After the kingdom’s needs are met, council transcripts show how resource priorities changed events and influenced the king’s decisions. The campaign contains 9 maps, with a branching story and multiple endings tied to construction choices. Some land generation is randomized. A Freeplay mode provides an open building format separate from the campaign.
