Koyland

GETTING STARTED

How to play

A short route from your first village to the rest of Istanbul.

Koyland is an online village strategy game on the real map of Istanbul. Follow these steps in your first session; the in-game Guide gives you quests with rewards.

Create an account and choose a site

Register or sign in from the home page. Pick a location on the map and found your village. Nearby green, water and rocky terrain affect work sites. Your village must be at least 500 m from another player's village.

Finish the Guide quests

The first quests lead you through placing a work site, upgrading a House, building a production building and Barracks, and training soldiers. Claim each completed reward; the final Guide reward is needed before later systems open.

Balance your production

Wood helps with construction, food supports population and soldiers, stone is used for defenses and buildings, and gold for training and trade. Place logging, fishing, farming or stone work sites where terrain allows, then assign villagers. Watch production and consumption in the resource panel.

Build and unlock more systems

Upgrade buildings from the Village menu. Builder capacity sets how many projects can run at once. After the Guide, quests and the Market become available; later, the Madrasa, research, eras and other systems open one by one.

Explore Istanbul

When the Market and caravans unlock, exchange resources and send trade caravans to districts. Travel takes time; escort soldiers cannot defend your village while away. Roads, bridges and ferries shape the route.

Meet other players

Visit other villages on the map, chat and join guilds. Player attacks risk losses. New villages have 24 hours of protection; starting your first attack ends it. Prepare your defenses before entering a conflict.

Take a break and return

Village data is stored on the server. On return, offline production is calculated for up to 8 hours at reduced yield. Check your resources regularly.
