Sovereign Vale: Empire Builder
Medieval island city strategy
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Raise a single medieval town into an empire that spans a sea of islands — and rule it the fair way. No ads. No loot boxes. No pay-to-win. Just a city-builder that respects your time and your intelligence.
Sovereign Vale is a slow-burn strategy game in the tradition of the great browser empire-builders, rebuilt for iPhone. Gather wood, stone and food; assign your citizens; raise your Town Hall and unlock a Library, Barracks, Marketplace and more. Every upgrade takes real time, so your realm keeps growing whether you're watching or not.
BUILD A LIVING REALM
- Manage production, storage, population and happiness across every island you hold
- Settle colonies, each with its own luxury — wine, spices, marble, sulfur, crystal
- Ship goods between islands on standing trade routes and merchant cogs
RESEARCH AN AGE OF PROGRESS
- 50+ technologies across five trees, from Well Digging to the Imperial Age
- Unlock new buildings, units, wonders and empire-wide bonuses
- No dead ends: your empire never resets — it only grows deeper
COMMAND ARMIES
- Recruit men-at-arms, archers, knights, siege engines and warships
- A real battle line where unit types counter one another
- Clear barbarian camps that rebuild stronger, and defend your shores
RISE THROUGH THE RANKS
- Earn Renown for everything you achieve and climb a permanent player Level
- Chase named titles from Settler to Sovereign
- An un-cheatable leaderboard: every score is re-simulated on our servers, so the board can never be faked
A WEEKLY REASON TO RETURN
- The Prestige Race resets every week — earn Renown to reach Bronze, Silver, Gold or Crown and claim a season chest
- Rule through crises and windfalls: plague, revolt, festivals, windmill fires and more, each a real choice with visible consequences
- Raise Wonders and Great Works that outlast kings
PLAY WITH FRIENDS (optional)
- Share a friend code, visit friends' realms, and send a daily gift
- Multiplayer is entirely opt-in and off by default — your realm never leaves your device unless you say so
FAIR BY DESIGN
- No advertisements, ever
- No loot boxes, no gacha, no gambling mechanics
- We sell time and identity — never power. Crowns speed things up and personalize your realm; they can never buy a place on the leaderboard.
A kingdom is built one decree at a time. Found yours today.
