This is a text based multiplayer game that can be hosted on a local Linux server and broadcast to your LAN or the internet! The game takes influences from the BBS door games of the late 80s and early 90s, as well as other text-based war games, like Kings of Chaos. It is deceptively deep and a ton of fun to play with friends or over the internet.
All you need to play is a browser! All you need to host the game is a basic Ubuntu Server installation and a few libraries.
Host your own server or play on our official website: http://unnamedfiefdomgame.com/
If you would like to play on our development server, visit http://216.128.140.232/
Please note that this game is in the super pre-alpha testing phase right now. More updates and features to come soon!

Unnamed Fiefdome Game is a python programming project by Mia Quain (mquain@uark.edu) and Joshua Davis!
Your goal is to control as many fiefdoms as you can manage without spreading your army too thin and leaving yourself open to attack! Your home stronghold will never fall, but any conquered fiefdoms can be taken by opposing players. Make sure you can defend the territory you claim!
Each claimed fiefdom will generate gold and other resources depending on the number of soldiers stationed there. That gold can be spent on defense and attack upgrades as well as additional soldiers. You can also add resource outposts to your fiefdoms, which will bring in resources that you can use with various upgrades.
Upgrade your conqured fiefdoms to keep them safe! Be careful though. Any upgraded fiefdom can be taken, and your upgrades will transfer to the new ruler.
I use a development server running Ubuntu Server 18.03 and Python 3.6. You will also need to install gotty and a GO development environment before running the game. I've laid out some instructions below that should help you set this up on a fresh server.
To run the game, first start up the backend with the following command:
python3 fiefdombackend.py &
Then, start the frontend and web server with this command:
gotty -w -p 80 python3 test.py
In your player's browser, connect using the server's IP address. For example:
(you may need to use tools like SCREEN to disown these processes if you are working via SSH sessions)
You will then need to seed some starting fiefdoms using the fieftool.py program.
