How it plays

  1. 1

    Choose your clan

    Search 273 real clans — or any surname. The game knows where your name comes from and sets your starting hold there.

  2. 2

    Start at your true seat

    MacDonald wakes in the Isles, Campbell in Argyll, O’Neill in Tyrone, the Tudors in Gwynedd — every clan begins on its real ancestral ground.

  3. 3

    Conquer the map

    Push outward across 382 real regions — every council area and Irish county. Each one you take floods your clan colours across the coastline.

  4. 4

    Win the warband battles

    Each region is taken in a fast charge: steer your warband, loose on the rival horde, and weave through gates to swell your ranks and modernise your arms.

Built on the atlas you already know

Your real homeland

Drawn straight from the Clan Rising atlas — your clan, your nation, your historical seat, all true to the record.

The whole British Isles

382 conquerable regions across Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland, with ferry crossings to take the fight overseas.

Bow to gatling

Your arms march through the centuries as you advance — shortbow, crossbow, musket, rifle, right up to the gatling gun.

It only gets harder

The first hold by your seat is a warm-up; the last regions throw a true horde at you. Difficulty climbs the further you reach.

Every region maps to a real place in the Clan Rising atlas, and every starting seat is drawn from the family records on the clan pages.

March under a banner

Play as one of the great clans

Jump straight in from a famous seat — or pick your own name once the game opens.
