How Endings Are Determined

The game uses a complex scoring system based on:

1. Resource values at game end (Gold, Power, Health, Reputation)
2. Active alliances (who you allied with)
3. Dead rivals (who you killed or deposed)
4. Buildings constructed (what infrastructure you built)
5. Story choices (major decision outcomes)
6. Survival length (how many turns you lasted)

The game checks ending conditions in priority order. The highest-priority ending you qualify for is the one you receive.

FAQ

Is there a New Game+?

No, but certain endings unlock bonus cards that appear in future runs. The Immortal Sultan ending, for example, unlocks legendary cards.

Can I see which endings I've unlocked?

Yes, the "Chronicles" section in the main menu tracks all endings you've achieved.

What's the fastest way to see multiple endings?

Play intentionally bad runs. Get yourself killed quickly to see execution endings, or tank your reputation for exile endings.

Do endings affect future runs?

Only secret endings unlock bonus content. Standard endings don't provide mechanical benefits.
