Banner Wars

Free

A medieval battlefield with three banners between your keep and the enemy's. Recruit swordsmen, archers, cavalry and pikemen, send squads to raise your colours, and hold the banners for gold and points. Pikes stop cavalry, cavalry rides down archers, swords cut through pikes. First army to 1000 points wins; three battles against sharper commanders.

Controls: Recruit with the buttons or Q / W / E / R. Pick a squad (1–6, or tap it on the field; 0 for everyone), then send it to a banner with A / S / D, or to the keep with H, or tap the banner. F or Space toggles double speed.

How to play Banner Wars

Banner Wars is a real-time battle for three banners. Every banner you hold earns gold and points, and the first army to 1000 points wins the battle. Win all three battles.

Controls: Recruit with the buttons or Q / W / E / R. Pick a squad (1–6, or tap it on the field; 0 for everyone), then send it to a banner with A / S / D, or to the keep with H, or tap the banner. F or Space toggles double speed.

Tips

  • Holding more banners scores much faster: two banners earn three times as many points as one, and three earn six times as many.
  • Counter what the enemy sends: pikemen against cavalry, cavalry against archers, swordsmen against pikemen.
  • Archers do their damage from range. Keep a melee squad in front of them.
  • A banner only changes hands when no enemy squad is near it, so one guard on each banner is enough to block a capture.
  • Damaged squads hit weaker. Pull them back to the keep and send fresh squads forward.
