How to play WebBand
- You lead a small party across a procedurally generated map of rival kingdoms, towns, castles and villages.
- Towns let you recruit and upgrade troops, buy equipment and trade goods. Prices follow supply and demand, so buy cheap and sell where goods are scarce.
- Meeting a hostile party starts a real-time battle seen from above. Formations, morale, damage types and shields all matter.
- Quests from lords and ladies earn money and relations; renown lets you lead a bigger army.
- Grow strong enough and you can serve a kingdom, take part in its wars and lay siege to castles.

- Screens: M, C, P, I and Q switch between the main panels.
