Crownhold Guides Hub

This Guides Hub is the map of every Crownhold tutorial on the wiki. Crownhold is a short incremental kingdom builder by Tobias Mikula, released on Steam on 17 August 2026. You click a keep for gold, hire peasants, push fog off the map, then sail to foreign lands and reset through prestige. The pages below answer the searches people actually type: how to play, how to prestige, how to find countries, how to complete the early expansions, and how sieges actually show up after expansion 10.

Start with Getting Started if the first castle still looks like a flag and a cloud. Move to How to Play once idle gold appears and you need the full building loop. Open How to Prestige the moment a monument or unlock book shows up — accidental resets are the most common early mistake in playthrough videos.

What this hub covers

Crownhold is not a live-service Roblox title. There are no gift codes and no Trello board to refresh. The useful questions are mechanical: when click power stops mattering, when to staff the monastery, why wood arrives late, and how expedition ships convert into influence. The walkthrough walks expansions 1–6, the same stretch the demo used to teach. Siege and warfare covers the Guarded Pass, Royal Arsenal, vassals, and named late places Steam put on the achievement list. Trade and exploration covers Spice Isles, the Merchant Republic, Emerald Coast, and Golden Harbor. Controls explains hover panels, stuck tooltips, Steam Cloud, and the Linux build.

Use the Progression Hub when you want spend order instead of a narrative. The early-game build, resource priority, and buildings pages sit next to these guides on purpose. If you only have ten minutes, the first-hour checklist is the fastest path.

How the tutorials were written

The guides are based on the Steam store description, launch facts, and public playthroughs of the demo and opening hours. Warfare and sieges are promised on the store page. Demo footage does not play that layer, but Steam achievements for the full game name the Guarded Pass, a Royal Arsenal craft, and vassal treaties. We still do not invent army numbers. Siege and warfare states what is proven and what is not. The review and demo comparison cover the buy-side gap.

Each guide page keeps one topic, related FAQs, and links to siblings in this same dropdown. If a page has a video, it is a real YouTube upload placed mid-article as a click-to-load embed — never a fabricated ID.

Suggested reading order

1. Getting Started — click power, peasants, first fog clears.
2. How to Play — monastery, guild, university, villages, royal court, port.
3. Walkthrough — expansion goals and what “demo complete” used to mean.
4. Trade and exploration — ships, discovery, hegemony.
5. How to Prestige — reset timing and unlock spends.
6. Controls — mouse-only flow and UI friction.
7. Siege and warfare — after expansion 10, when the achievement list starts naming a pass and an arsenal.

After that, park the prestige planner next to your second run and skim launch notes so you know the game is out, priced, and distinct from the other Steam title named Crownhold. Official files and the store button live on Links.

Crownhold is designed not to overstay its welcome. These guides match that pace: enough depth to stop guessing, no filler about systems the game does not have.
