# Blason > A medieval real-time strategy game in the browser, inspired by OpenFront: twenty-four lords on a land drawn anew each game, or on a map of the Earth, take it from one another tile by tile. Peasants hold the land and are raised as armies, gold pays for works, rivers and seas are crossed by boat, alliances are short, traitors are marked, merchants carry gold along their roads between markets. Played online in the public game with up to twenty-four players, or in a game you create, alone against bots or with friends invited by a code; the simulation is deterministic, the relay passing the orders in lockstep. Free software under the AGPL-3.0. ## Pages - [Home](https://blason.clhub.fr/): the public game being planted, its land drawn on its card, Play straight into it; create a game or join one by its code; the journal. - [Play](https://blason.clhub.fr/play): the game itself: the public game online, or a game you created, its standard planted during its opening. - [Journal](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog): what was written and what shipped. - [Legal](https://blason.clhub.fr/legal) - [Privacy](https://blason.clhub.fr/privacy) - [Terms](https://blason.clhub.fr/terms) ## Journal - [Blason v0.11.0: a connection that comes back, five odd lands, rich lands](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-11-0) (2026-11-06): A game that survives a lost connection, the Great Plain and the Archipelago among five new maps, rich lands to hold, faster buildings and armies whose speed comes of their men. - [Blason v0.10.0: back in the game, armies you can read, castles that hold](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-10-0) (2026-11-06): An evening of play among friends gave this version: coming back to a game, smooth armies, castles taken by siege, teams counted properly and tougher hard bots. - [Blason v0.9.0: the host in charge, a Conquest you can read, settings that follow you](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-9-0) (2026-11-06): Back to the room in the middle of a game, a great shield on each castle, new settings kept with your profile, a room made of the game's own pieces. - [Blason v0.8.0: the room, the smoothness, armies that fight](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-8-0) (2026-11-05): A real room at its own link, a smooth map even on the whole world, armies without jolts and a clearer Conquest. - [Blason v0.7.0: Conquest, free armies, the game under your fingers](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-7-0) (2026-11-04): A new mode of regions and castles, freer armies, a livelier map, a guide for your first game and the game under your fingers on a phone. - [Blason v0.6.0: the real Earth, the sea, a new home](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-6-0) (2026-11-03): Maps of the real Earth and of legend, a painted and smooth campaign map, the sea in play, a heraldic HUD, a new home and your lord kept with Google. - [Blason v0.5.0: online, mountains, an interface redrawn](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-5-0) (2026-10-29): The public game for up to twenty players, the games you create and invite your friends to, lands of mountains and passes, and an interface drawn in the game's matter. - [Blason v0.4.0: bots to your measure, coups, a living map](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-4-0) (2026-10-28): Three levels of bots, three coups, armies at their own pace, a trade network and a map that grows richer up close. - [Blason v0.3.0: the land, the armies and the alliances](https://blason.clhub.fr/blog/release-v0-3-0) (2026-10-28): The first playable version of Blason, in alpha: twenty lords on a land drawn anew each game. ## The game - Three armies raised from the peasants: the raid (10 %), the host (25 %), the levy (50 %), as many as you like, ten men at the least, the bigger the slower. Each sets out at the border nearest the click, crossing water by boat, and takes the land before it, its bulge curved by the ground. - Four works: villages feed the peasants; markets send the caravans that bring the gold; castles make their land fight one for one; ports send ships to sea. The first village is free; a work takes time to build. - Land encircled by one lord alone passes to him. - Alliances last five minutes; breaking one marks the breaker a traitor for thirty seconds. - A lord wins with 80 % of the land, a share that drops from the tenth minute until someone holds it.
