Bressnath

The fen gives nothing back

Bressnath is a settlement builder set in the world of Orenvalt. You arrive with a handful of villagers at a half-drowned holding in the Vreldsath fens. Every stand of timber, every stone seam and every fishing pool runs dry, and nothing grows back. Standing still is losing slowly — the only economy is pushing outward, to better ground and worse neighbours.

There is no warning. Attacks come on a clock you cannot see: no countdown, no arrow pointing where from. You learn the rhythm by playing, and you hold the line with watchtowers, a castle and soldiers you have to feed and house.

There is one way to win. Finish the causeway — a raised timber road on driven piles, laid across open water. It is the biggest thing you will ever build, and the fen throws everything it has at you while you build it.

What's in the Box

Everything Is Carried

Villagers walk to the reed beds, the quarry and the fishing pools and haul every load home. Build close to what you need, or watch your people spend the day walking.

Twenty-Three Buildings

Lumber camps, fen farms, bakehouses, smithies, an eel wharf, a caravan market, a guildhall, watchtowers, barracks and a castle — most with upgrade tiers.

Eight Families of Horrors

They wake in the Sundered Places scattered across the map, the mild ones close to home and the worst at the far edges. Defend, or march your army out and break the lairs yourself.
