The Shire Reeve

The Shire Reeve is a game about collecting as many taxes as you can from a shire that doesn't want to pay. You manage the people's feelings as you extract every last ounce of coin from them. Over time, you build your arsenal of tricks as you face ever-more complex challenges. All to pay your lord his due, and of course, to line your own pocket.

 This game was made for the Godot Wild Jam in Godot 3.3.1.

How to Play

The game runs in two phases: Planning mode and running mode. The goal is to collect the required amount of gold. Any above that is yours to keep.

Planning Mode

In this mode, you can select which settlements to collect money from and the order. To do so, just click them with the mouse. After you are ready, click the ready button in the upper bar.

Weekly Mode

Tax collectors will travel from your castle to the settlements collecting taxes. This will anger the settlements. Collect taxes too many times and they will send mobs after you.

To handle the mobs, you can use the tools in the bottom bar to handle them. Pacify settlement resets their anger, while cut down mobs removes those pesky peasant who are out to get your collector.

You can also speed up your collectors or add additional collectors.
