Instructions

Gameplay in Hold Jerusalem! revolves around events. Each day, you might be presented with an event. If you are, it's up to you to select the correct choice- there are no right answers, but use the "Background" section to discover which ones are best! When you have made your decision, select the choice you've made and click the arrow to proceed to the next day.

If you need more help, you're not in this fight alone. Your trusty Advisor and Scout are just a click away, at the top of the screen. The Advisor can give hints about events that effect your people, while the Scout specializes in battle tactics.

Events aren't the only thing to deal with in this siege. If you want to increase your chances of coming out alive, it's also wise to build up your defenses. To build defenses on a particular day, select the "X" under the defense you would like to build. As the day changes, your resources will be depleted to build them. While they won't directly effect your performance in events, defenses will count towards your final score, so build wisely!

How are you doing? You can estimate the current state of your fight by paying attention to the information under resources and morale. Morale is the overall attitude of your people- if it's low, you might not win what would otherwise be a certain victory. Your resources are consumed by events, defense building, and even the passage of days. Running out of resources such as food can have dire consequences!

The game ends with a final event on the last day of the siege, so try and set a good foundation to bring your people out alive!
