How to Play

Objective

You command the attacking army. Storm the same fortress across 5 escalating levels -- break through the outer gate, then the keep's own gate, and defeat the defenders (and the King himself, waiting in his tower on level 5) to win. Survivors carry over into the next level at full health; buy new units and siege equipment with your budget before each battle.

Controls (desktop)

Left-click a unit to select it; drag across open ground to box-select a group; Shift+click to add or remove a unit from the selection.
Right-click a location to move there; right-click an enemy unit or structure to attack it.
Number keys 1-9 recall a control group; Ctrl+1-9 assigns the current selection to that group.
Move the mouse to the edge of the screen, or use the arrow keys, to pan the camera.

Controls (touch)

Tap a unit to select it; tap and hold, then drag, to box-select a group.
Tap open ground or an enemy with units selected to move or attack.
Drag the joystick (bottom-left) to pan the camera.
Use the unit buttons (bottom-right) to quickly select all units of one type.

Rules

Spend your budget on units (and, from level 2 on, siege equipment like the battering ram and catapult) in the shop before each battle.
Permadeath -- a unit that dies is gone for good. Survivors carry into the next level on top of that level's own budget, so keeping units alive pays off.
A unit that started on level 1 and is still alive on a later level carries a small gold star -- that's who's actually on track to become a Hero if they make it to the end of level 5, so protect them.
Siege equipment doesn't carry over between levels -- it's a one-battle rental, bought fresh each time.
Pick a difficulty before you start: harder difficulties shrink your budget bonus but multiply your final score.
Beat the whole game on any difficulty to submit a score to the leaderboard, and to unlock jumping straight to any level -- including at Impossible -- from here on.

Level 1 - Small Outpost

Score adds up across all 5 levels: a base amount for clearing each one, a bonus for beating that level's target time, and a bonus per surviving unit -- then, once you beat the whole game, your total is multiplied by your difficulty (Normal x1, Hard x1.5, Impossible x3) for your final submitted score. Survivors are units still standing at the end of level 5 (siege equipment doesn't count). Heroes are survivors who've fought since level 1 -- a unit bought or added in a later level doesn't count as a hero even if it lives to the end.
