About Small Kingdoms Prologue

Rule a small fantasy kingdom and conquer your rival as you build up your cities and armies on the world map and command your troops on the battlefield

Small Kingdoms is a streamlined grand strategy and real-time strategy game, the Small Kingdoms Prologue is a free introductory version to the full game with a single campaign and a smaller number of buildings and units

The Prologue comes with a single campaign map which is a small world consisting of several islands with 2 playable kingdoms and each kingdom having 3 cities. The main game allows more kingdoms and cities on procedurally generated campaign maps

In the Prologue the two kingdoms are very much alike. In the main game, you choose to play as one of several kingdoms that each has their own set of islands and cities. The main kingdoms all have similar unit types, but each has their own unique flavour, with strengths and weaknesses for you to use strategically

Build up your cities by constructing buildings, gathering resources and training units for your garrison from the world map. Will your cities be economic powerhouses producing loads of resources? Or will they be military training camps designed to get a variety of new units into your armies?

Train units for your armies on the world map, then send them into battle and command them on the battlefield to achieve victory in siege and field combat. Will you build a balanced army capable of engaging in close quarters or at a distance? Or will you focus on ranged units to strike down the enemy from afar?

Simple but with potential.. Playing on "easy" is to "easy", but besides that, it can become a nice game to play in future.

Small Kingdoms Prologue is an engaging strategy experience that successfully introduces players to the foundations of a larger medieval kingdom-building adventure. Developed and published by Bad Logic Studios, this free standalone prologue offers a focused campaign that showcases the game's core mechanics without overwhelming newcomers. By combining city management, resource planning, diplomacy, and real-time battles into a compact experience, it creates an accessible entry point for both casual strategy fans and players who enjoy more traditional grand strategy games. Although its content is intentionally limited compared to the full release, the prologue delivers enough variety to demonstrate the potential of the complete project. The campaign is set across a modest chain of islands where two competing kingdoms struggle for dominance. Each faction begins with a handful of cities, placing a strong emphasis on careful expansion and long-term planning rather than rapid conquest. Players must develop settlements by constructing new buildings, increasing resource production, and maintaining a healthy economy capable of supporting military growth. Every improvement contributes to the …
