A free, skill-based medieval MMORPG where three nations fight for control of one seamless, low-fantasy world.
Set in the contested realm of Stoneholm, Gloria Victis trades theme-park questing for open-world war. Combat is non-target and directional — every block and swing is yours to time and aim. The entire economy is player-made: gear is forged by crafters, not farmed from bosses. Capture territory, lay open siege to castles, and decide how much you risk in partial-loot zones. No classes, no pay-to-win — just skill, steel, and the nation you choose to fight for.

Three nations at war
Stoneholm is contested ground, and gear is balanced so map dominance shifts with the players, not the patch notes. A mercenary recruiter offers free transfers to whichever nation is currently the underdog, and fighting for an underdog yields more coin, loot and XP.

Why Gloria Victis
A war with real stakes
Open-world sieges, a player-made economy, and fights decided by skill — not by who paid the most. Medieval war with consequences, on one seamless map.
I
Open Sieges & Territory
Sieges aren't instanced. Nations and guilds raise siege camps, storm real walls, and a win flips a castle's ownership on the live map — handing the whole controlling nation bonuses to loot, crafting and XP.
II
A Player-Made Economy
Swords are forged, not dropped by monsters. A player-driven economy of crafting professions arms the entire war, so gatherers, smiths and cooks matter as much as the front rank — every blade on the field was made by someone.
III
Skill Over Gear
Combat is skill-based and non-target: you aim, time and read each swing yourself. Risk is yours to choose — safe zones to learn in, contested partial-loot zones for the real rewards — and fighting for the underdog nation pays the best.
