Feel the ambition, struggle, and resilience that shaped Zierikzee’s destiny.

Will you secure your troops' loyalty and complete your mission, or will history take a different turn?

📜 Storyline:
The year is 1575, and Cristóbal de Mondragón, commander of the Spanish army, has fought long and hard to take Zierikzee as part of his campaign to capture the Zeeland isles.

But the siege has taken its toll—your troops are exhausted, unpaid, and on the brink of mutiny.
Without gold or silver, the only way to hold them together is to gather emergency coins, the makeshift currency replacing real money in these desperate times.

As you move through the city, you must solve clues, locate hidden resources, and find a way to maintain control before your army falls apart.

The war is far from over, but survival starts here.
