bagpipes.pro was founded in 2019 by a team of historical strategy enthusiasts and game developers with a mission to create an immersive medieval warfare experience rooted in 12th-century Scottish history. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, our team of 10 developers, historians, and artists combines expertise in tactical game design, medieval history, and visual storytelling to craft a authentic and engaging strategy game.
Our flagship title, Bagpipes: Clan Wars, invites players to lead a Scottish clan through the turbulent medieval era, building fortresses, raising armies, forging alliances, and battling rival clans for control of the Highlands. The game features 15 historically inspired maps, 8 unique clan factions (each with distinct strengths and weaknesses), and a deep resource management system that reflects the challenges of medieval life—from farming and trading to raiding and defense. We worked with medieval history consultants to ensure accuracy in weapons, armor, clan structures, and historical events, making the game both entertaining and educational.
What sets us apart is our commitment to historical authenticity and strategic depth. Unlike generic strategy games, Bagpipes: Clan Wars prioritizes tactical decision-making over mindless resource spamming, with battles that require careful troop positioning, terrain utilization, and alliance coordination. We also foster a dedicated strategy community, with forums for discussing tactics, historical lore, and clan alliances, as well as monthly tournaments with in-game rewards.
Since launching, bagpipes.pro has grown to over 130,000 registered players, including history buffs, strategy game fans, and casual players drawn to the game’s immersive world. Our commitment to community feedback has led to major updates, including new clan factions, historical events, cross-platform play support, and a mobile version optimized for touch controls. We also partner with historical societies to create in-game content that highlights Scottish medieval culture, from traditional music to clan heraldry.
Looking to the future, we’re expanding Bagpipes: Clan Wars with a campaign mode that follows the story of a fictional clan through key historical events, a diplomacy system that adds depth to alliance mechanics, and more detailed historical content (e.g., documentary-style videos about medieval Scottish life). We’re also developing a tabletop strategy game companion, allowing players to extend their clan’s story beyond the digital world.
At bagpipes.pro, our mission is to bring medieval Scottish history to life through engaging, strategic gameplay—educating players while providing endless hours of tactical fun. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a strategy master, or a casual player looking for a rich gaming experience, we welcome you to join our clan community.
