''Kingdoms and Castles'' is a city-builder game released by Lion Shield in July 2017. You play as the lord of a...German?...settlement that must be built from scratch on a randomly-generated map of the player's choice. The game has no plot, instead focusing on the idyllic experience of growing a quaint town in the countryside; one mode removes the need for an army entirely.

!!This game includes the following tropes:

* AllMythsAreTrue: And apparently have a grudge against your city. Lone dragons will periodically attack it, as will ogres ]working with Viking raiders.
* AnimalMotifs: Among the banners a player can choose to decorate their castle with is a blue lion and a red bird.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The effects of both types of irrigation stack, so the player can construct both windmills ''and'' the more expensive/effective reservoirs without fear of wasting the resources that went into building the former.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Just one reservoir can turn ''an eighth'' of the map into a fertile paradise, but building them (and the aqueducts they need, and the waterwheels, and so on) requires an insane amount of resources.
* CosmeticAward: The statues of Fig and Barbara serve absolutely no purpose other than to prove you've made it as a lord.
