The Lord Archmage

The Art of Arcanum Command

Welcome to The Lord Archmage, the legendary text-based, turn-based multiplayer medieval magic fantasy browser strategy game that has challenged the minds of thousands of mages for over two decades. Here, you do not rely on quick reflexes, but on your tactical cunning, mathematical management, and ability to rule an empire under constant siege.

Master the 5 Doctrines

Choose your path between White, Green, Blue, Red, or Black Magic. Summon powerful legions of medieval fantasy creatures and clash in strategic combat against thousands of rival archmages. Elemental synergy and your global spells will be the key to crushing your enemies.

War Economy

Precisely manage your resources. Defend and expand your Lands (the physical foundation of any kingdom), build Farms to feed your population, erect Workshops to speed up your expansion, and raise Nodes to channel mana. A single misstep can cost you your empire.

Global Conquest & Clans

War against other mages is absolute. Launch your legions to attack other archmages, seize their valuable lands, and climb the global ranking. Coordinate massive attacks with your clan to claim server supremacy and engrave your name in the Hall of Fame.

Elemental Legions

Blue Magic

Fairy

Arcane protector. Veils your troops in magical shrouds and restores the health of the wounded in battle.

Leviathan

Sea Beast / Siege

Colossal beast. Devours defensive fleets and tears down walls with waves of crushing freezing water.

Mind Ripper

Infiltrator / Control

Psychic mutant. Attacks the sanity of the enemy archmage and blocks the casting of opposing spells.

Black Magic

Succubus

Spy / Mana Drainer

Demonic agent. Seduces enemy troops to turn them into allies and passively drains rival mana.

Unholy Reaver

Harvest Warrior

Death knight. Harvests the life essence of its victims, healing its wounds after each kill in combat.

Lich / Demon

Sorcerer / Necromancer

Necromancer lord. Raises skeletons from the fallen to swell your ranks and unleashes poisonous AoE plagues.

Red Magic

Salamander

Fire Warrior

Launches fireballs from afar and returns damage to troops attacking in melee with its incandescent skin.

Dragon

Siege / Aerial Destroyer

The ultimate destroyer. Incinerates entire defensive flanks and possesses high immunity to physical projectiles.

Chimera

Hybrid Vanguard

Mythological beast. Executes three consecutive attacks on different targets, applying lingering burns.

Green Magic

Nymph

Forest Healer

Guardian spirits. Restore the life of your organic troops and revitalize morale to prevent desertions.

Phoenix

Support Bird / Siege

Eternal firebird. Reborn instantly upon being defeated in battle, exploding in area-of-effect flames.

Treant

Absolute Defense / Tank

Colossus of the forest. Absorbs massive damage impacts and roots enemies to prevent their counterattack.

White Magic

Archangel

Celestial Healer / Offensive

Divine warrior of light. Revives fallen battalions and casts devastating holy bolts of divine punishment.

Dominion

Holy Shield / Defender

Defending angel. Shields adjacent legions and greatly reduces received magic damage.

Unicorn

Swift Purifier

Purifying creature. Removes paralysis, poisons, and allied curses in the midst of combat.

War Architecture

Forge the foundations of your mystical empire. Manage resources, expand your population to earn gold, and gather mana to cast spells that will alter the course of history.

Nodes

Each node generates 10 mana per turn and increases your storage capacity by 1000. Mana generation is automatic. Their efficiency is reduced if they exceed 50% of your lands, and over-building can completely halt their production.

Towns

Demographic centers. They generate steady gold income through taxes and supply young recruits for your armies.

Workshops

They are the construction centers necessary for your country. A greater number of workshops will increase your country's building capacity, allowing you to erect monuments and defenses at a superior speed.

Farms

They produce food for your population. You need a sufficient amount of food to sustain new citizens and ensure the steady growth of your kingdom. Without farms, hunger will halt your expansion and could wreak havoc on your army supply lines.
