Ascendant Dawn Alpha

Ascendant Dawn is a fresh take on the grand strategy genre inspired in part by mount and blade. You control a nomadic tribe and can eventually settle down and found a city. The world is populated by dozens of settled and nomadic factions which create a deep sandbox. 

This is only the game's alpha, which consists primarily of the tutorial area. This area is a small sample of the full game with a handful of factions and cultures. You can get a good feel for the basics of the game in its current state by playing this demo. When you start there will be a short tutorial which you can bypass entirely by heading to the city of Markenburg. 

Since this is an alpha feedback is very important and there is a discord server for feedback. If you do encounter a crash then please tell me what you were doing when it happened.

There is a tutorial that goes over the basics. Ascendant Dawn works based on a game speed system so you can set how fast the game moves at any time. You then click to move your party. 

To interact with a map object like a settlement or herd you move very close to it then click on it.

A lot of the game is UI based so you can discover a lot by just clicking UI elements. 

Since Ascendant Dawn is complex I've also make a short tutorial video that covers the basics.
