Tiny Kingdom
Grow my little kingdom from a hamlet to a crowned realm: build farms, lumber camps, markets and barracks, seal edicts, repel raids and collect offline gold.
The game's own interface may still be in English.
Overview
Tiny Kingdom is an idle kingdom builder for anyone who has searched for a my little kingdom style game and wanted something with real decisions in it. You start with a muddy hamlet, a small castle and three open plots of land. Four building types fill those plots. Farms grow food, lumber camps cut wood, markets mint gold, and barracks raise the guard that protects you from raiders. Everything except farms eats food as upkeep, so the economy is a loop rather than a list of upgrades. The castle itself pays one gold per second and can be tapped for a little extra. Ten development stages lead from Hamlet through Village, Market Town, Duchy and Kingdom to the Crowned Realm, and each stage opens one more plot and raises the building level cap. Every rise also offers a choice between two royal edicts, such as Golden Granaries or Watchtowers, so no two runs grow the same way. Your kingdom is saved in the browser and keeps earning at half speed while you are away.
How to Play
Pick a building type with keys 1 to 4 or the buttons under the map, move the cursor between plots with the arrow keys, and press Space to build. Pressing Space on a plot that already has a building upgrades it, and the info line always shows the exact cost. On a phone or with a mouse, tap a plot to select it and tap it again to build. Press Enter or the Rise button to advance a stage once you have the gold, wood, food and total building levels it asks for. Watch the Raid timer in the top bar: when it reaches zero, your guard is compared with the raid strength. P pauses, R starts a fresh kingdom, and T taps the castle.
Tips & Strategy
Open with a farm on the first plot, then a lumber camp, then a market, because markets cost wood and food rather than gold and quickly pay for everything else. Build your first barracks before stage three; the base castle guard grows only two points per stage while raid strength grows much faster, and a single breach costs 40 percent of your stockpile. Keep the food rate positive at all times. A famine halves gold and wood output, which feels small until you notice the next rise is two minutes further away. When choosing edicts, Thrifty Masons is strongest early because it discounts every future building, while Watchtowers is a safety net if your guard keeps falling behind. Spend gold on upgrades right before a raid rather than hoarding it, since a lost raid takes a share of what you are holding. Before closing the tab, make sure farms cover upkeep: offline time pays out with your current rates, so a kingdom left in famine earns little while you sleep.
What Makes It Distinct
Many idle games only ask you to wait. Here the waiting is shaped by three competing pressures at once: food upkeep, raid strength and the stage cost curve. The edict draft adds a small roguelike choice to each stage, and the offline payout respects your time without letting the game play itself.

Frequently asked questions
How do I win Tiny Kingdom?
Reach stage 10, the Crowned Realm. Each rise costs gold, wood and food and also needs a minimum number of total building levels, three per current stage.
Does Tiny Kingdom earn resources while I am offline?
Yes. The kingdom is saved in your browser every few seconds, and when you press Continue Kingdom it pays out half-speed production for the time you were away, capped at eight hours. Raids do not happen while you are gone.
What happens when a raid beats my guard?
The raiders take 40 percent of your gold and food and leave a scar. Three scars and the realm falls, so keep the guard number in the top bar above the incoming raid strength.
Why did my production suddenly slow down?
Your food store hit zero while upkeep was higher than farm output. During a famine gold and wood production run at half speed until food is positive again, so add or upgrade a farm.
Can I play Tiny Kingdom on a phone?
Yes. Tap a plot once to select it and again to build or upgrade, tap the castle for spare gold, and use the buttons under the map to switch building type or rise a stage.
