Kingdom Chess
An open-world chess war
The board is the realm. The realm is yours to take.
Choose a faction. March your chess-armies across the open world. Fight for every province — and when the Season ends, the Pot is paid to the warriors who earned it, weighted to the winning house. Your King is watching. Every week.
How the war works
Three oaths. One kingdom. A pot that pays every week.
Swear to a King
Five houses, five AI Kings, five ways to fight. Pick the one that matches your blade.
March & capture
The world is a living board. Send your army to contested provinces and win real chess battles for terrain.
Win the Pot
Every week the Season ends. Revenue flows into the Pot — and out to the most active warriors, with the winning faction taking the lion's share.
Choose your house
Each faction is ruled by an AI King with its own politics — alliances, wars, betrayals.
The Season Pot
40% of all royal revenue feeds the Pot. Here is exactly where it goes.
| Share | Amount | Who earns it |
|---|---|---|
| Winning faction | 40% | Split among the faithful of the house that dominated the Season |
| Top warriors | 30% | The 10 most active fighters, realm-wide |
| All active | 20% | Every warrior who fought at all — participation pays |
| Treasury | 10% | The Crown keeps the realm alive |
The Pot is transparent — every coin is counted in the ledger. No pay-to-win: buying power is impossible, earning it is the only road.
Renew or betray
When the Season turns, every oath ends. Choose your fate.
Renew the oath
Stay true to your King. Loyalty is remembered — and paid.
Become a traitor
Swear to a rival crown mid-war. You keep your score, halved — and every former ally becomes an enemy.
