idle-crown

You begin with calluses, not a crown. Idle Crown is a medieval idle RPG with no energy bars, no premium currency, and no real-world clock between you and the next level. Just fifteen skills, a Holding you raise stone by stone, and an XP curve built for the long haul. Fifteen skills, deep progression Chop pine to heartwood, mine tin to runite, forge bronze swords through sovereign-tier blades. Fish minnows to leviathans, hunt rabbits to drakes, cook simple meals into royal feasts. Combat, Piety, and Stewardship round out the lord's craft, each with passives that bend every other skill. Early levels move quick. The endgame is measured in days. Past 99, Mastery branches (Yield, Pace, Fortune) open for every skill, fully respec-able. Raise a Holding Twelve buildings on a 20×20 plot, each granting permanent speed bonuses. Upgrade tiers climb from pine planks to voidstone. A maxed Holding is months of work. A centerpiece you can point at when someone asks what you've been doing all winter. Workers in parallel Climb the rank ladder (Serf → Freeman → Yeoman → King) to unlock workers who run skills beside you. At high ranks they outpace the lord himself. 23 permanent upgrades Sink coin into yield, speed, XP, crit, coin gain, minion slots, forge efficiency, sell prices, boss cooldowns, and more. Each ranks up the deeper you invest. Push the offline cap from 12 hours to 36. Slot a fifth minion. A treasury that always has a reason to grow. 100 achievements, written like a chronicle Every achievement is named and written in voice, with no dry "kill 100 X" copy. Hidden achievements stay hidden until earned. Each ships with a hand-rendered gold-on-parchment icon. Built for Steam 20 leaderboards: speedrun, per-skill XP, Mastery, lifetime XP, longest streak Friend Rich Presence so your liege can see what skill you're grinding Offline catchup up to 36 hours, so a workday doesn't wipe a play-day Serf to Sovereign. Take your time. The throne is patient.
