Pillage First! (Ask Questions Later) is an open-source, single-player, strategy game inspired by Travian.
Build villages, manage resources, train troops, start adventures and wage war in persistent, offline-first game worlds. It requires no account or download.
Game mechanics are inspired by both Travian Legends and Travian Kingdoms. It's built to be as light-weight as possible, providing you a great experience even on older devices. It iterates on the original design, introduces new features and improves on the existing ones!

I've always been a huge fan of Travian and similar browser-based strategy games. The slow, methodical village-building, resource management, and real-time progression made those games incredibly special.
Sadly, Travian requires a massive time (and gold!) investment to remain competitive. Not being able to commit either of these, I set out to create a similar, but less commitment-hungry experience, with more quality-of-life features and customizability to make your experience better!
Pillage First! is my attempt to recreate that experience as a single-player Travian alternative, with the same core mechanics, but modernized, offline-friendly, and fully open source, with no game mechanics to incentivize spending real-world money. Just the classic gameplay loop, reimagined for solo play.
