Games Like Palisade

Build your kingdom. Pick your battles.

Start with a capital and room to grow. Build settlements, connect them with roads, and send troops across the border. In Palisade, you give orders directly on the map, without moving individual squads. The controls are simple; deciding where to spend your gold and when to attack takes practice.

Make room to grow

Click or drag to claim open land, attack a neighbour, or reinforce a push already underway. Watch the borders change as armies advance. Hills, coastlines, and nearby rivals shape your next move: grab useful ground now, or save your strength for their capital?

Keep your army supplied

Roads connect your buildings into a network. Plan those connections to reduce settlement upkeep and improve the buildings they link. More land is useful, but only if you can afford to hold it.

Find a way through

Five campaigns with sixteen battles, plus two standalone historical battles

Play Northern Saga, Yellow Turban Rising, The Genpei War, Atlantic Voyage, and The Triple Alliance. The maps draw on real geography and regional history. Each battle gives you a different task, from capturing a rival capital to controlling territory or building up your realm.

Choose Standard, Hardened, or Relentless difficulty. Between battles, pick upgrades for your cavalry, naval expeditions, or palisades that last for the rest of the campaign. Revisit any battle you have reached in Practice.

Set up your own Skirmish

Choose a battlefield, your realm, opponents, starting resources, and victory condition. Adjust AI difficulty, game speed, and other rules to suit the match you want. Keep the seed and settings to replay the same starting layout or share it with a friend.
