Hero Village

Two loops that feed each other: a village that produces while you are away, and an expedition you play by hand.

Goal
Finish the first region, the Forest. Build up the base, take the loot into an expedition, kill the boss at the end of three acts, and bring the loot back to grow the base.

How to play
The base produces gold, mana and soldiers whether you watch it or not.
Tabs: Base builds and upgrades, Army handles allies and hero upgrades, Expedition prepares the run.
Upgrade a building and production goes up — you go into the next expedition stronger.
On the expedition, drag your finger: the hero walks there and attacks anything in range on their own. Spells are on the buttons.
Every expedition is three acts with a boss at the end; between acts a decision moment appears and the run is saved, so you can close the tab and continue.

Controls
Touch or mouse. On desktop WASD and the spell keys (E, Q, F, C, V, B) also work; Esc or P pauses the expedition.
