So gather your villagers, sharpen your scythes, and light the beacon. The long night is coming. And in this simulation, every second counts.

Resource extraction (grain, livestock, iron tools) and captive taking. Destruction of infrastructure is secondary to looting. 2. Phase 1: Reconnaissance and Early Warning

The simulation concludes with the "Extractive Phase." The barbarians do not seek to occupy; they seek to liquefy. They convert the village’s labor (slaves), food (livestock), and wealth (trinkets) into mobile capital. This leaves Aethelgard in a "resource desert."

The village typically starts at Level 1. Each successful defense or counter-attack by the player increases the barbarian village's level, up to a maximum (often 50), making subsequent raids significantly harder.

Procedurally generated maps, random barbarian traits (e.g., “cowardly,” “brutal,” “strategic”), and events (a wandering merchant, a plague, a miraculous discovery of iron ore) ensure no two playthroughs are alike. The simulation now tests how well the walls
