Ascendancy
Players lead one of several asymmetric noble houses competing for the crown over multiple generations or in a single scenario. The game combines worker placement with 4X strategy: recruit and upgrade characters, manage resources and the economy, expand territory, and resolve military conflicts. Players customize houses by acquiring heirlooms and promotions that persist between scenarios, and pursue different paths to victory such as growth, conquest, or economic dominance. Decisions revolve around upgrading units and structures, rewarding or purging followers, and balancing short-term gains against long-term legacy development.
