Gord

In Gord, you lead the Tribe of the Dawn into forbidden lands and work to keep its people alive in a grim fantasy world inspired by Slavic folklore. Quests can shape settlers’ personalities and wellbeing, and their outcomes help determine the community’s fate.

The Scenario’s main objectives guide the journey, while side quests and random encounters send the Tribe into the wilderness to hunt legendary creatures, uncover secrets of the Ancients or deal with a scourge. Quests beyond the settlement walls can also address a looming calamity or a subject’s personal matter.

Gameplay and features

• Build and defend the settlement: Erect palisades and develop structures as you expand the gord from a small settlement into a fortress. Its people face threats from enemy tribes, monsters and mysterious powers in the surrounding woods.
• Monitor settlers’ Sanity: Illness, hunger and the death of relatives can affect each subject’s Sanity. If it reaches a critical point, a settler may suffer a breakdown or flee your rule.
• Use divine incantations: Prayers may grant access to the Gods’ spellcasting abilities. Incantations can be offensive or defensive, with effects that include concealing areas from enemies, gaining control over threatening beasts, or unleashing rage against opponents.
