In addition, the King of the Ancient Throne will have access to the Ancient Sword and the Ancient Crown. Only the king can freely access these chests, other players must lock pick them and that is quite a feat. The ravens automatically collect taxes in the game (behind the scenes of course, sneaky little things), and place them in the chests in their Treasure Tree. The King of the Ancient Throne will receive the ability to collect the resource tax from every player within the game by visiting the Ravens Treasure Tree. Holding the Ancient Throne will grant its owner dominion over the entire map (change name of realm) and taxation rights over every other player. The Ancient Throne can be claimed by any player.

Each player will have the power to decide the fate of the kingdom, or choose to entirely forego the responsibility of ruling the kingdom and roam the land as a freeman. Players will have the ability to make war, or even capture and hold other players in order to get what they want. Resource locations strategically spread throughout the game will create inequity and envy. The world itself is designed to inspire competition and struggles for power. The development of a melee combat system adds a gritty and visceral feeling to Reign of Kings that will allow players to become deeply immersed in a realistic and intense medieval survival experience. All players who are not part of the King's Guild are taxed on the resources they collect. In addition to standard resources, you may compete over the Ancient Throne which resides in a throne room which overlooks the island. We were primarily inspired by Rust & Chivalry in the development of this game. In Reign of Kings we allow you to collect resources and craft a wide variety of items needed to build a vast and powerful kingdom.

You may form a guild, bring war to all opposition, and try to seize the throne and become king! In order to do this, you must hunt wildlife, mine resources, build structures, and craft weapons and armor in order to protect yourself. You must struggle to survive in a harsh medieval world.
