Four scenarios, 49 provinces and 255 characters. Play alone or take turns at one computer with up to seven human players. There is no network multiplayer. The browser edition runs on your own device without a game server or account.

The desktop and browser editions use the same Pascal simulation and illustrated menus, portraits, province map and battle maps. Campaign saves can be moved between them.

This is a playable development edition. The source's IMPLEMENTATION.md describes remaining work against the full design.

**Banner of the Forty-Nine and River Oath are separate games.** They have separate pages, packages and save locations. Banner does not replace River Oath.
