This is the beta test start, not the public release. An exact start time has not been set.
The heart of your realm
A castle is only the beginning.
Westholt Rising is shaped by the decisions you make in your province. Build production sites, gather food, wood, iron and gold, and choose which improvement comes first. A growing realm takes planning: your warehouse has limited space, buildings need time to improve and the castle opens up new possibilities. Every step matters.
What you do
Build, manage and defend.
02
Buildings
Improve your castle, production buildings and warehouse. Decide how to spend your resources and time.
03
Army
Prepare troops and explore attack and defence. These systems continue to evolve during development.
Beyond one province
Look past the castle walls.
The test build is growing from a single province into a larger realm. We are designing an overview that brings provinces together, including their combined power, population and connections. This feature is still changing as we test the game. The development page explains what we are trying now and what remains on the roadmap.

Under the Westholt banners
An army takes shape.
Soldiers, defence and attacks give your growing realm a new purpose. In the current development build we are working on training, travel time and the flow of attacks. We share changes as they are tested. The image beside this text shows the mood of the army and is concept art.
Curious how the realm works?
Read about resources, storage, building choices and the army.
