Gildenhame

Found a village on a hex world that never resets. Tend it in a few check-ins a day.

How it plays

One tile, seven parts, four resources — and a world of other players around you.

Upgrade your tile

Your village sits on one hex with a centre and six wedges, each producing crop, wood, stone or ore. Raise their levels; production follows.

Claim the land around you

Harvest the tiles near your village. The first to claim a tile holds it, and farther tiles yield less — so where you settle matters.

Research your way up

Each settlement researches its own tree: Village to Town, Town to City, and one Capital per player. Civilization points found the next settlement.

Built for a few minutes a day

  • Progress while you’re away

    Upgrades, research and claims finish on their own timers, whether the app is open or not.

  • Storage sized to a visit

    A morning and an evening check-in waste nothing; the game tells you when a store is about to fill.

  • Solo is complete

    Everything can be done alone. Other players are neighbours on the map, not a requirement.

  • Never wiped out

    There is no fighting yet. When it comes, it will be costly to start, and a player’s last settlement can never be taken.

Play anywhere

One account, one world, on whatever is in your hand.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Gildenhame is free to play in the browser, on a phone or installed as an app.

Does the world reset?

No. There is one permanent world with no seasons and no endgame. Your settlements are still there next month.

How much time does it take?

A few short check-ins a day. Upgrades, research and harvests carry on while you are away, and storage is sized so a morning and an evening visit waste nothing.

Do I need friends to play?

No. Everything in the game can be done alone. Other players are neighbours you share the map with: the first to claim a tile holds it.

Can I lose my settlement?

Not today: there is no fighting yet. When conflict arrives it will be costly for the attacker, raids will never cripple a settlement, and a player’s last settlement can never be taken.

Can I pay to speed things up?

There are no purchases of any kind in the game today, and no timer can be skipped. If that ever changes it will be announced well ahead.
