About
Sons of the Soil is a strategy roguelike deck-builder set in a high fantasy world. You play as a Master Contractor. Masters are skillful individuals, possessing different leadership traits and skills. They do not own land or estates, but instead travel the land and make contractor deals with local rulers and governors. Contracts give the Masters the right to exploit a piece of land and its natural resources for a certain amount of time in exchange for a mandatory commitment - paying Taxes.
Masters work and travel in big groups consisting of their family members and also many hired workers. The groups can be big up to hundreds of people in size. Together they explore the land, gather resources, build settlements, cultivate the land and deal with dangerous beasts and aggressors.
If a Master fails to deliver the Tax he owns to the landlords he is risking receiving a ban that stops them of signing new contracts. Sometimes a failed Master can even be banished out of his country. In such cases families have no other choice, but to appoint a new Master - chosen in between the heirs of the previous one.
Will you be able to lead your people to prosperity and pay your taxes? Or you will crumble to the hardships of the land?
