Coin and Banner

You are nobody. You have a purse, a road, and the going rate for a man who will carry a spear.

Coin and Banner is a medieval sandbox RPG about raising a company and fighting your way to a crown. Hire men, keep them fed and paid, and lead them in side-view battles of hundreds. Take a lord's coin or take his town. The army that gets you there is made of men you come to know.

The men have names

Hire men one at a time. Learn their trades, train their strengths, and read what is on their minds. They earn honours, carry wounds, and make friends and rivals. Leave them hungry and unpaid and a ringleader makes a demand. When a man dies, his name and his last battle go into the Hall of Banners. He does not come back.

Lead the battle

Set formations and orders, time a volley, call a charge, or rally a breaking line. Take your hero into the fight yourself. Fourteen kinds of soldier and fifteen techniques give you a company to shape, from spears and crossbows to battlemages and healing warders.

Take the wall

Build ladders, a ram and a siege tower while both sides go hungry. Take the battlements and the fight moves into the square. Then choose: mercy, tribute or the sack. Set taxes, build works, and leave one of your own men to govern.

From nobody to ruler

Earn your first coin with bandit hunts and tournaments. Serve a lord, or raise your own banner. Five realms make war and peace around you in a world drawn fresh each campaign. Take the crown by conquest or at the Moot of Crowns.
