Covil: The Dark Overlords

Players take the role of powerful dark Overlords vying for control of regions around an isolated town and its living fortress. Each Overlord has unique powers and recruits minions by summoning troops, then uses those forces to perform actions across the map and contest dominance. The game plays over four days, each split into three phases: Morning (summoning), Afternoon (actions), and Night (scoring and cleanup). Combat, area control, and resource management drive scoring, and the game ends after the fourth night when the highest victory point total determines the winner.
