Kingdom Post is a small management game where you need to send your deliverymen around a fantasy world to fulfill missions and earn money.
Did you run out of eggs? Lost your eye and need a replacement? About to lose the war and need extra weapons? KINGDOM POST has got you covered!
HOW TO PLAY :
- Everything can be done with the mouse, you can also pan the camera with WASD
- At the beginning, you won't have any employees, you can hire them by clicking on (1) Hire and select those you wan't to hire. Each of them have different statistics:
Icon | Name | Description |
Cost | A unique cost you'll need to pay to recruit him | |
Daily wage | A daily wage you'll need to pay every day | |
Speed | The higher the speed, the faster items will be delivered | |
Inventory capacity | Indicate the maximum number of items a deliveryman can bring in a mission | |
Strength | Some terrain feature will need a minimum strength to be passed, a failure can mean the deliveryman will come back, or he might be killed |
- You can assign a mission to your employees by clicking on them in the "Available Deliverymen" list (2). It will open the mission selection interface (that we'll detail later) that'll allow you to send them accross the world. You can also fire them by clicking on the cross if you are short on money
- Keep an eye on your wealth (3). Each day, you'll pay the daily wages of all your employees and gain the rewards of those coming back from mission. If you ever fall bellow 0, it's Game Over
- When you assigned all the missions you wanted for the day, click on the "End Day" button (4). It will bring your daily report and update your money
- You can keep an eye on your ongoing missions (5) clicking on them will open the mission details on which you can decide to consider the deliveryman dead (you'll no longer pay him or his family, but you won't earn anything if he come back) or to scry it for 25 gold, telling you if he is still alive and discovering all feature he encoutntered (including the cause of its death if he died)
- You can select in the "Available Deliveries" (6) the deliveries you want to do during the mission, you can't launch a mission if yout path don't go through all the destinations you selected
- You'll get a resume (7) of the current mission at the bottom
- You can select you path on the map, just click on a discovered waypoint to add it to your current path, or remove it and all that is after if it was already selected
- When you're ready, click on the "Send Mission" button (8) to send it, it will be a "Cancel mission" button if something is wrong (not enough inventory space, or not going through all deliveries)
- The map will display different waypoints :
Icon | Description |
---|---|

A selected delivery target | |
An unvisited waypoint (visiting it will show nearby waypoints and will allow you to receive new missions | |
A visited waypoint | |
A known danger, those can slow, block or kill your deliverymen without enough strength, but for most of them you can try to send a knight to clear the way |
